Straw Clay Wall

This readily-available renewable resource, which consists of highly-compressed bales of hay coated with clay plaster, has been used for centuries in Europe and Asia. The hay is treated for resistance to fire, fungus and rodents, and the clay can be applied in various densities and thicknesses to ensure the correct ratio of thermal mass and high insulative value.
We use this technology to achieve—among other things—vibratory insulation from today’s. See a slide show of projects.
