Raw Earth is a 100% natural material that has been used in vernacular building since the very beginning of mankind.
Known as an excellent insulating material, mud mixed with seaweeds was employed by greek islanders to cover the flat roofs in the Cyclades against difficult Aegean winters. Elsewhere the properties of mud plasters were increased with other natural additives such as straw or animal dung…
Today, we rediscover the values of clay and we create plasters and paints for interior finishes that improve our homes, making them a healthier place to live. Wall surfaces become active and contribute to :
- Protection from electrosmog, by reducing electromagnetic radiation
- Thermoregulation, by keeping the temperature of rooms stable
- Humidity regulation, by maintaining relative humidity in optimal conditions for humans
- Sound absorbing, as clay plasters attenuate low-frequency sounds improving the living comfort
- Odors neutralization, by retaining dust, gas, and odors present in the air
Furthermore, aesthetically speaking, our earthen techniques are unique for natural interiors of understated beauty, with textured surfaces, warm to the eye and appealing to human senses.
- Non-flammable
- No chemical additives
