BENEFITS OF RAMMED EARTH
HEALTH BENEFITS:
In todays health conscious society, your rammed earth home is non-toxic. With natural earth walls that breathe, air quality is improved leading to a healthy environment.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
The passive heating qualities of rammed earth create a home that is cool in summer and warm in winter. You save money and our earth resources benefit
SUSTAINABLE:
By using locally sourced earth your rammed earth home will be eco-friendly and will bring you even closer to the environment you live in.
DURABILITY/MAINTENANCE FREE:
Earth building in Central Otago has stood the test of time. Homes built over 150 years ago are still being lived in today.
AESTHETICALLY DIVERSE:
Whether your taste is traditional or modern, rammed earth construction blends in with both. Walls can be made of solid rammed earth, veneer earth bricks, or a solid earth brick wall.
