I read that straw is basically outlawed bec it’s hard to make a house with it and still be on the right side of fire safety codes. Especially if you’re using it as part of your insulation strategy.
- mercutio2 5y agoA straw bale wall burns MUCH more slowly than a stick frame wall. So this is really not accurate (and standard fire codes have accepted this). The bigger problem is that people don't like giving up so much of their footprint to 18-inch-thick walls.
