GaiaCrete®, the premium hempcrete alternative, is built for Phoenix's climate — permanently mold-proof, zero VOCs, and 30-50% lower energy costs.
Phoenix is the hottest major city in America — 100+ days above 100°F, extreme UV radiation, and cooling costs exceeding $400/month in summer. Spray foam in Phoenix attics can reach 180°F, accelerating off-gassing and chemical breakdown.
