[Strawbale] External cladding

[Eric Larmett]

Most of the information on cladding tends to be on the use of lime
render or plaster rather than cement and this is understood. Does anyone
have experience of using a cladding system, such as tile hanging.

 

I envisage the use of straw bales as the load bearing wall with a
breathable membrane battens and vertical tiles. This should allow the
wall to breathe, move and shed rain.

 

Comments would be welcome.

 

Regards
