AW: [Strawbale] fire

["Hannes Hohensinner" <hh@grat...>]

Dear Rikki!

 

We tested a strawbale wall (Wooden frame construction with straw bales) with inside clay plaster and outside lime plaster. The result was 90 minutes fire resistance. Have a look at www.grat.at and go to "Publikationen". You can find the test certificate under "Wandsystem aus Nachwachsenden Rohstoffen", go to "Anhang" for download as pdf file. It is in German, but the characteristics of the wall are shown in some diagramms.

 

best regards

Hannes
