ABOUT COB
Earth is a natural, abundant resource that can be sourced locally from the site, resulting in low embodied carbon emissions. The construction offers long-life expectancy and utilizes a simple, low-tech method. It boasts excellent fire performance and structural integrity, making it a reliable building option. The use of vernacular, local materials ensures the construction is in harmony with its surroundings. Monolithic, breathable walls reduce the risk of natural erosion and are non-toxic, making them safe option for construction.
CobBauge homes promote healthier indoor air quality. The hygroscopic properties of the walls provide moisture buffering, which reduces the risk of respiratory conditions. The walls also absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs), removing pollutants from the air and preventing associated health effects.
Cob is a natural building material made from earth, water, and fibrous organic material such as straw and hemp shiv.
A comfortable indoor environment is achieved through the high thermal mass of the walls, which regulates temperature for indoor comfort and reduces energy use. The excellent acoustic performance of the walls provides sound buffering, creating a pleasant living space. The improved indoor air quality and comfort enhance both physical and mental health, making CobBauge homes positive spaces to live in.
MATERIALS & SPECIFICATION
The primary materials used in CobBauge construction are earth, straw, and hemp shiv, with skips utilized for mixing and storage.
The materials for CobBauge homes are sourced from Setchey Quarry, Bilney Quarry, and the Fakenham site. The clay used for the thermal layer is blue-grey, with a smooth texture, cohesive and plastic properties, and originates from the Kimmeridge Clay formation deposited in the late Jurassic period 155 million years ago. With approximately 60% clay content, it makes the perfect clay slip.
