• very good thermal insulation

• diffusible buffers air humidity/sorbs odors, positively influences room climate

• very good sound insulation (sound insulation index 46 to 50 dB)

• Durability: 200 years installed without loss of quality - that's real sustainability!
  

• Lehm besteht aus Ton, Sand und Schluff verschiedene Korngrössen von > 63 µm/> 2 µm/< 2 µm und entsteht durch natürliche Verwitterung von Primärgestein

• Due to special structural properties of clay, clay hardens solely by evaporation of water and adheres by mechanical entanglement: binding force does not have to be produced by energy- and CO₂-intensive firing processes

• Clay is latent heat storage, absorbs heat from a certain point and releases it again

• Environmental toxins are filtered through clay
  

• the raw materials clay and sand are mixed with the addition of water

• reed mats are used for reinforcement and jute fabric is inserted on both sides (on the upper sides)

• technical drying takes place after molding
  

• Drywall - clay building boards or clay bricks

• Clay plasters - exterior and interior

• Clay soils - clay screed and rammed clay soils

• Ceilings and roof - straw or light clay, clay bricks/fill or clay building boards.

• Clay walls - non-load bearing and solid

simplified per m³ clay building boards (basis: 700 kg/m³)

• 1 m³ is the equivalent of 50 2 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm clay building boards

• technical drying is carried out using thermal energy from natural gas. This energy input dominates the life cycle assessment results.

• Incorporation of CO₂ through photosynthesis during reed and jute growth is taken into account. The incorporated CO₂ is released again at the end of the life cycle, e.g. after thermal treatment or rotting.

• Manufacturing emissions module A1-3: 23.37 kg CO₂

• CO₂ capturing: 0.85 kg incl. recycling/credit for net material quantity (reclaimed quantity less processing losses) for substitution of clay powder

• Degradation of clay causes low impact on environment - reusable through recycling

• our clay is extracted regionally - short transport distances

• CO₂ calculation according to ÖKOBAUDAT, in accordance with ISO 14067 & EN 15804+A2

• DIN 18948 (2018) Clay building boards
