1 Architectural designers Natural building specialists Trainers Building Healthy Homes with Straw and other Natural Materials
2 Strawbale houses are far more than just houses with walls of straw
3 They are made entirely of natural materials Plant or bio-based materials with low embodied energy Earth, clay, cob, adobe Clay plasters Timber/wood Strawbales Unfired brick Sheepswool, hemp Recycled paper & cotton Stone, sand and gravel
4 Other natural materials Products made from plant/bio materials but more processed lime render recycled foamglass fired bricks Linseed oil based sealants and paints Lime and clay based paints Woodfibre board Smartply/Elka/Egger board (formaldehyde free OSB) Panelvent (structural board)
5 In combination these materials bring these qualities to a strawbale building humidity regulation natural plasters excellent indoor air quality no toxic off-gassing fresh air breathable wall systems/passive/active ventilation ambient temperature thermal storage peace and quiet excellent sound insulation quality of light graduated by deep rounded reveals beautiful surroundings simple organic finishes ownership participation in the build

7 Infill strawbale house in Norfolk, 2013
8 Loadbearing strawbale Community centre in Wakefield, 2004
9 Smaller strawbale buildings Owlery and Story telling hut
10 All year round garden building
11 Specific healthy qualities of strawbale buildings Vapour Permeable (Breathable) strawbale walls with lime/clay plasters and paints allow passage of vapour = positive effect on indoor air quality, allowing air exchange from the outside without creating draughts or losing heat. Hygienic - lime plasters help prevent bacterial growth and moulds. Absorb toxins and smells - clay plasters create healthier IAQ. No mould growth or condensation due to the hygroscopic properties of clay and lime plasters and paints, their ability to absorb excess moisture in the air and to release it as humidity levels drop Thermal insulation - help create warm and cosy living spaces that feel good to inhabit with no toxic off-gassing. Acoustic insulation - help create a peaceful home with no toxic offgassing.
12 Natural Clay plasters Healthy and non toxic, absorb odours Regulate humidity User-friendly Beautiful! No Condensation!
13 Natural Lime renders Hygienic, long lasting, natural, regulate humidity Excellent weatherproofing properties 12,000 year history
14 Strawbale Council Houses 2008 ssionalisation of construction profit before quality rising land prices Extremely thermally efficient: U value of walls 0.11 Airtightness/air exchange of 2.62 Have reached air exchange of 0.26 on loadbearing straw passive house Thpoor quality
15 The first 2 storey loadbearing house in the UK Grand Designs Eco-Home of the Year Award 2008 Penwhilwr, Wales - built built for 70,000 Healthy on the pocket!
16 Sworders salerooms (Fine Art and Antiques)1100 m² Stansted Mountfitchet 2007 Maintains an ambient temperature throughout the year Saves the company 75% on heating bills from previous premises
17 Strawbale houses are easy to build And don t require a timber framework! Ralegh s Cross, Exmoor a two storey semi-detached loadbearing straw house
18 A few advantages of building with strawbales Extreme energy efficiency can reach passivhaus standard and beyond U value of walls 0.11 Stores latent heat efficient thermal mass in walls Greatly reduced long term running costs Stores carbon and uses 85% low embodied energy materials Affordable high quality self build 2 bed house for 60,000, contractor built for 130,000 Thpoor quality Plentiful materials, no need to change agricultural policy Healthy, all natural materials also increase feelings of well-being, happiness and contentment Could solve the housing crisis!
