"Straw might seem like the very last product you'd use to make your house fire-resistant. But as it turns out, straw panels, made from waste material that's otherwise burned off or discarded, are a secret weapon against flames. As well as being a handy way to prevent fire damage and heat or cold transfers (making buildings more energy-friendly), the straw panels also put a waste product to good use. But the straw panels aren't without their Achilles heel. If they get wet, the panels become spongy and useless. It also means waterproofing is a must." https://lnkd.in/gCn_-yVg #constructionmaterials #constructionsustainability #greenconstruction
