Compressed Earthen Block Production
Page Eight: An industrial building we built in Durban
These photos show an industrial building we built in Durban.
A simple earth plaster using the same earth material can be applied to the inside walls to complete the finish.
Exterior walls can be shaped and then coated with lime-based plasters, elastomeric plasters, cement stucco, etc. and then painted.
Compressed Earthen Blocks have been successfully used all over the world for hundreds of years to reduce waste and build strong, lasting housing.
