The process of creating HempWood® Natural Flooring starts in the field. All hemp is sourced within 100 miles of the factory from local farmers. After the hemp is collected, a plant-based adhesive is used to bind full-length fiber hemp stalks. After the hemp stalks and plant-based adhesive are combined, the material is compressed and baked to form HempWood® Blocks.
From the Blocks, 4mm HempWood® veneers are cut for the top layer of the engineered flooring.
For the substrate, a 5-layer PureBound® Hardwood Plywood is used. The plywood is ethically sourced from Columbia Forest Products, which is located in West Virginia. By using PureBound® Plywood, we are able to maintain our eco-friendly mission and support the American economy.
After cutting the veneers and ripping the plywood, our flooring is assembled with the help of our PUR glue line. After adhering the HempWood® veneer to the Purebond® Plywood, a tongue and groove profile is cut into the flooring.
The boards are then sanded, finished, and surveyed for any blemishes. Our quality control team hand checks each board and ensures that our flooring upholds our standard of hardness, durability, and beauty.
Alpaca fiber is classified as a luxury fiber. It is much more resistant, warmer and softer than sheep’s wool, does not contain lanolin and is available in over 20 natural colors. It is comparable to a high-end cashmere to the touch and is appreciated for its thermal properties, its lightness and its silky touch. It is no coincidence that the fabrics made with this precious natural fiber were once reserved for dressing the Inca emperors.
Alpaca wool is obtained from the hair of the alpaca, a mammal related to camels and native to the Andes in South America. The fleece of alpacas has a wavy and frizzy appearance which favors its use in spinning and weaving. Alpaca fiber is used to create some of the finest fabrics in the world and is highly sought after by fashion houses as well as by artisan spinners and weavers.
Fineness is a very important characteristic of a good quality fleece: the finer the fleece, the softer the feel. Another important characteristic of alpaca wool is the sheen, i.e. the luminosity of the fibre, which can be determined visually. Crimp is also an important variable that relates to the waves or ripples that can be seen in a group of fibers: fibers with little crimp offer no stretch, while fibers with noticeable crimp have good stretch. Stretch is important in the final product, because products with good stretch will hold their shape better.

Wool is an extraordinary fibre from nature, whose properties produce extremely high-quality and sustainable fabrics. Obtained from the sheep’s fur, wool is a renewable resource that mankind has been using for more than 8000 years.
Woven fabrics made of wool are equally suitable as upholstery fabrics and as curtain fabrics and are inherently flame retardent. They radiate warmth and cosiness and can have both a cosy and purist appearance.
We have 5 patterns in this collection. We also offer custom development for your own collection. If you have a design and would like to use wool as your fibre and create your own fabric please contact us for more details.
