Hi all,
I know of the need for a strawbale wall to be breathable from both sides. However, I'd like to know in which cases or under which conditions straw bales could be used to internally isolate an impermeable concrete wall. I could start building a strawbale house in the next months following the GREB technique but this house has to be built against the neighbour's wall. As result, three of the walls will be fully breathable but not the wall being shared with my neighbour's house.
I was initially assuming that this shared wall had to be isolated with industrial materials.
My neighbour's house will be (still not built) a 1-storey house so I was also considering to build the concrete (or brick) wall only for the first stage and then make a full second storey with strawbale. However, there is the risk that my neighbour decides to build a second floor in the future, closing the permeability of my second floor's wall as well.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Daniel.
