Straw is an organic material and therefore a combustible material. But very importantly, the fire resistance class of the system (structure-thermal insulation-finishes) is largely determined by the materials covering the thermal insulation of straw (in our case, clay tiles on the inside and heat-treated wood or folded sheet on the outside). Loose straws burn very easily, but once pressed in the form of bales, slabs or in a wall (often at 95-130 kg / m3), fire resistance increases as the level of oxygen between the straw fibers decreases, which maintain combustion. Also, the high content of silicates in the straw, between 3-14%, prevents the spread of fire: as it starts to burn, a charred layer is formed which insulates the rest of the straw from the inside. Details of an experimental study on a wall of straw bales tested according to ISO Standard 834-1 since 1991 can be accessed here .

The strength and rigidity of the house is given by the modular wooden structure, which complies with all the specifications and regulations of the norm P100-1: 2013. Straws act only as a thermal insulation and have no load-bearing role.

Every organic material can be affected by the appearance of mold. Mold is a powerful life form that grows especially in hot and humid areas. However, wheat straw naturally contains materials such as minerals, silicates and pectin, and is therefore more difficult to penetrate by fungal spores. However, a low and constant level of humidity must be ensured, as is the case for any kind of insulation. Thermopylae® have the ability to guide moisture through its capillaries to drier areas. Thus, the moisture circulates back into the room, which leads to a beautiful climate in winter and summer.

No. Straws are, due to the large amount of minerals and silicates, very difficult to digest by the vast majority of living things. The only exceptions are guinea pigs, horses and cows. Due to the high density of the material in the structure, it becomes impossible for potential pests / rodents to penetrate the wall - they prefer polystyrene or other materials that are easier to penetrate. Moreover, the walls of the Nidus natural modular house are still clad in the factory with both a layer of board and the interior and exterior finishes of clay and heat-treated wood, respectively.

Straw bales are much more durable than expected. Houses dating back to the early 1900's are still standing in America (the first thatched houses appeared in Nebraska in 1880). In fact, since straw is a natural fiber, it can last for hundreds or even thousands of years under favorable conditions.

Straw is an organic material and is therefore combustible. But very important, the class of fire resistance of the house (structure-insulation-finishes) is largely determined by the materials that cover the straw insulation (in our case, clay panels on the inside and heat-treated wood or laminated metallic sheet on the outside). Free straws burn very easily, but once pressed in the form of bales, panels or in a wall (often at 95-130 kg / m3), fire resistance increases, as the oxygen level (which sustains combustion) between the straw fibers decreases. Also, the high content of silica in the straw, between 3-14% prevents the spread of fire: as it begins to burn, a charcoal layer is formed on the surface of the wall that isolates the rest of the straws inside. p> Details about the experimental study on a straw bale wall tested according to ISO Standard 834-1 from 1991 can be accessed here. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316463900_Fire_Resistance_of_the_Straw_Bale_Walls

Stroh ist ein organisches Material und daher brennbar. Sehr wichtig ist jedoch, dass die Feuerwiderstandsklasse des Hauses (Struktur-Dämm-Oberflächen) weitgehend von den Materialien bestimmt wird, die die Strohdämmung bedecken (in unserem Fall Lehmplatten auf der Innenseite und wärmebehandeltes Holz oder lamin). > Freie Stroh ist sehr leicht einzündlich, aber sobald es in Form von Ballen, Paneelen oder in einer Wand (oft mit einer Dichte von 95-130 kg / m3) gepresst wird, steigt der Feuerwiderstand, wenn der Sauerstoffgehalt (der die Verbrennung unterstützt) zwischen den Strohfasern abnimmt. Auch der hohe Gehalt an Kieselsäure im Stroh (zwischen 3 und 14%) verhindert die Ausbreitung von Feuer: Wenn es zu brennen beginnt, bildet sich auf der Oberfläche der Wand eine Kohleschicht, die den Rest der Strohhalme im Inneren isoliert. Details zur experimentellen Untersuchung an einer Strohballenwand, die gemäß ISO-Standard 834-1 von 1991 getestet wurde, findest du hier. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316463900_Fire_Resistance_of_the_Straw_Bale_Walls

Die Widerstandfähigkeit und Stabilität des Hauses wird durch die Holzrahmenstruktur vorgegeben, die allen Spezifikationen und Vorschriften von P100-1: 2013 entspricht. Stroh dient nur als Wärmedämmung und hat keine tragende Rolle.

Strohballenhäuser sind viel langlebiger als erwartet. In Amerika stehen noch Häuser aus den frühen 1900er Jahren (die ersten Strohhäuser erschienen 1880 in Nebraska). Da Stroh eine natürliche Faser ist, kann es unter günstigen Bedingungen hunderte oder sogar tausende von Jahren halten.

Jedes organische Material kann durch das Auftreten von Schimmelpilzen beeinträchtigt werden. Schimmel ist eine kraftvolle Lebensform, die sich besonders in heißen und feuchten Bereichen entwickelt. Stroh besteht aus natürlichen Materialien wie Mineralien, Silikate und Pektin und sind daher für Pilzsporen schwieriger zu durchdringen. Es muss jedoch eine niedrige und konstante Luftfeuchtigkeit gewährleistet sein, wie dies bei jeder Art von Isolierung der Fall ist. TERMOPAIE® hat die Fähigkeit, Feuchtigkeit durch seine Kapillaren in trockenere Bereiche zu leiten. Dadurch fließt die Luftfeuchtigkeit zurück in den Raum, was im Winter und Sommer zu einem angenehmen Klima führt.

No. Stroh ist aufgrund der großen Menge an Mineralien und Silikaten für die überwiegende Mehrheit der Lebewesen sehr schwer verdaulich. Die einzigen Ausnahmen sind Meerschweinchen, Pferde und Kühe. Aufgrund der hohen Dichte des Materials in der Struktur können potenzielle Schädlinge / Nagetiere nicht mehr in die Wand eindringen. Sie bevorzugen Polystyrol oder andere Materialien, die leichter zu durchdringen sind. Darüber hinaus sind die Wände der NIDUS Öko-Holzhaus ab Werk mit einer Holzschicht sowie mit Lehmplatten im Inneren und wärmebehandeltem Holz oder laminierten Metallblechen im Außenbereich als Oberflächen versehen.
