A straw bale house is a type of building constructed using bales of straw as the primary insulation material. These bales are typically made from wheat, rice, or oat straw and are stacked to form walls. The straw provides excellent thermal insulation, making these homes energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. In addition to insulation, straw bale houses can be finished with various materials, such as plaster or stucco, to protect the straw from moisture and pests. This building method is often associated with sustainable architecture and is popular among those seeking eco-friendly living solutions.
