What are construction straw bales?
Building straw bales are building and insulation material.
Straw is harvested along with the grain. At Sonnenklee, we check the straw for dryness, cleanliness and purity according to the highest quality standards. Only straw that meets the strict requirements of the building regulations (European Technical Assessment ETA-10/0032) is processed further. The straw stored indoors is first freed from dust and residual grain. The straw is pressed with a high density of 95 – 167 kg/m³, thus achieving the necessary fire behaviour, an excellent storage effect and the best protection against overheating in summer.
Straw is available regionally. As a by-product of agriculture, it has a very low energy requirement in production. So that the construction straw does not have to be transported hundreds of kilometres, we offer external certification of regional straw and, for large-scale projects, the use of the mobile construction straw plant.
The construction straw bales are produced in various sizes, specially adapted to your construction project. The insulation thicknesses are available from 260 – 1,200 mm.
