[Strawbale] External cladding



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.
