Earthen plasters are the perfect green finish for straw bale construction. Created by combining clay, aggregates, and pigments, the advantages to using earthen plasters are: no off-gassing, minimal waste materials on-site, and they are easy to repair. Earthen plaster is nonflammable, offers additional masonry mass in rooms, and resists mold growth. We can achieve strong, durable finishes with earthen plaster while being responsible for our personal impact on the planet.
