CLAY CONSTRUCTION – BUILDING NATURALLY

CLAY AS BUILDING MATERIAL

clay is one of the oldest building materials of mankind – and one of the most sustainable. it regulates humidity, stores heat, is pollutant-free and fully recyclable. a material that breathes.

in combination with wood and other natural materials, buildings with excellent indoor climate are created. no emissions, no chemicals – just healthy air.

APPLICATIONS

clay plaster: the classic. clay plaster on walls and ceilings regulates humidity and creates a pleasant indoor climate. suitable for new builds and renovations.

clay panels: prefabricated panels for dry construction. easy installation, good insulation values, excellent indoor air quality.

rammed earth: massive clay walls with large storage mass. ideal for passive solar architecture.

clay bricks: traditional construction, reinterpreted. durable, repairable, beautiful.

ADVANTAGES

humidity regulation: clay absorbs moisture and releases it again. this keeps humidity constant at a comfortable 45-55%.

heat storage: clay stores heat and releases it slowly. this reduces temperature fluctuations and saves energy.

pollutant-free: no chemical additives, no emissions. ideal for allergy sufferers and the chemically sensitive.

sustainability: locally available, low energy production, fully recyclable. the perfect circular building material.

MY EXPERIENCE

i have been using clay in my projects for years – from simple clay plasters to more complex applications. as an eco-bau specialist partner, i know the possibilities and limitations of the material and work with experienced clay builders from the region.
