A note on shuttering historic frames
Shuttering for casting hempcrete in the context of historic restoration work is potentially
more complex than on a new build, and has to be designed on a job-by-job basis according
to the particular needs of the application. The shuttering design itself is not necessarily dif-
ficult, but the materials used for straight walls in new-build applications may not be suit-
able.
