Insulation: Organic Thermo Hemp Plus was installed in the roof and walls, and recycled cork chips from collected grape vine cones were used as fill in the floor. The sub-roof is made of Gutex soft fiber boards made from Swiss wood. The pro clima DB air sealing system is recommended by home health experts. Stroba terra clay products were used in the interior design. Clay ensures a balanced moisture balance in the living space, which creates a very pleasant microclimate and healthy comfort. Clay is a very good heat storage medium. Constructions with stroba terra clay boards have excellent sound insulation values. Clay has an excellent energy and pollutant balance and is easy to process, skin-friendly, and waste-free.
