A firetest on a straw bale wall with 6cm limeplaster (graefix 73 pajalith).
The test was made 2012 on iBMB Braunschweig.
The fire test for the 6cm plaster was successful so the plaster (the straw bale-modules with plaster) may be installed on 5 story straw bale buildings – as in this example on the “Norddeutsches Zentrum für Nachhaltiges Bauen” (North German Centre for Sustainable Construction (NZNB))!

The European Straw Building Association is an independent European association, devoid of any profit making motive. The object of the Association is to promote and develop the use of straw, as a sustainable way of building in all the senses of the term “sustainable”: renewable, ecological, healthy, energy and climate efficient, social and economic.
The Association is a federation composed of organisations and people particularly concerned with the use of straw in buildings.
