In October last year Ben and Jessica built their own straw-bale house. In one day they went from a few posts standing up, to completed bale walls and a roof! Watch the timelapse movie to see how.
The straw bale wall structure is Ben’s own invention. We believe that this method is fast and results in few thermal bridges. We strive to make straw bale construction efficient and affordable, while retaining the beautiful, soft, hand-crafted aesthetic and ambience that attracts people to straw bale.
Hiberna sprays their plaster using an industrial plaster pump and then finish it by hand. The use of the pump results in plastering labour reduced by up to two thirds.
We can offer square metre rates for straw bales walls and you will be surprised how cost effective it can be. Contact us to find out more.
