Rammed Earth Construction
Wattle & Daub is a traditional building technique that combines a wooden framework (the wattle) with an earthen plaster coating (the daub). This method has been used for thousands of years across cultures worldwide, offering a lightweight, natural, and sustainable solution for wall construction.
How it Works:
Thin wooden sticks or bamboo are woven together to create a strong lattice framework (wattle).
A mixture of clay, sand, straw, and sometimes lime is applied onto the framework (daub).
The result is a wall that is flexible, breathable, and naturally beautiful.
Best Suited For:
Eco-homes, cottages, and farmhouses
Resorts and rural retreats
Heritage restoration projects
Sustainable and low-cost housing solutions
