LEHM UND HOLZ

The company Lehm und Holz – die Auer has been working for many years with the very broadly applicable materials – namely wood and clay. In the company’s product portfolio there is everything that makes natural and cosy living space with a unique atmosphere. Especially natural wooden floors, wooden windows and doors and many other building materials made out of clay and wood.

In order to expand the product range beyond traditional clay building products, a possible use of clay and sheep’s wool product combination was considered. The unconventional composition could be applicable for light, sustainable sound insulation boards.

Experimental trials were conducted to evaluate the possible combination of hydrophilic clay and hydrophobic sheep wool. The results showed that stable and promising panels can be made from sheep wool and clay.
