A comprehensive hands-on guide for builders - both self-builders
and professionals - and an essential handbook for designers that
includes many construction details. Straw bale buildings are warm
in winter and cool in summer. The natural materials used create
beautiful healthy homes that also have a low environmental impact.
For self-builders, working with straw is affordable and enjoyable.
In professional construction, a positive relationship between
quality, price and long-term savings can easily be achieved. Straw
bale is also especially suited to community-based projects as it
generates curiosity and often needs groups of enthusiastic
volunteers. This complete guide gives detailed descriptions about
how straw bales react to different applications and enables anyone
to design and build these natural homes in different climates.
Included are: * Step-by-step instructions for many processes *
Tips, tricks, advice and warnings * Over 600 photos, drawings and
diagrams * Materials, tools and building techniques * Solutions to
common problems * Plans for a practice straw bale building Since
every build is unique (availability of materials, skills, budget,
climate etc.), many different and varied building techniques are
explained. Self-builders will learn a vast array of skills and the
confidence to build on their own, while professionals will be
enabled to successfully incorporate bale building into their
portfolios.
