[Strawbale] Alternative tightening materials

[Zuzana Kierulfova]

Hello Sara
Clay plaster makes SB wall air tight. But it is necessary to solve
connecting details. We use air stop tape around windows, air stop papers
behind some wooden elements interfering with plaster surface and this paper
is then connected to plaster (plastered over) to create continuous air tight
layer. Like this the connection between plaster and wooden post or plaster
and ring beams should be air tight, but you have to think to put paper there
before you put straw bales. Later, if there is a crack between wood and
plaster after drying process, behind is an air tight paper.
