Loam: old building material, modern construction

Loam is one of the oldest and at the same time one of the most natural building materials, with excellent building biological properties,
like:

moisture regulating, heat storing, easy to process, odour-absorbing, recyclable and sustainably.

For a long time, the building material was almost completely suppressed, but almost forgotten techniques and constructions make the loam "socially acceptable" again.
You can even feel the benefits of loam. Stroke with the palm of your hand or fingertips over a clay wall and feel the pleasant, unmistakable sensation.
But that's not all - not only to feel, but to feel well - and that in all rooms.

- you make your living room to an oasis of well-being
- in the bedwoom you can breathe deeply, peacefully sleep and refuel energie.
- also in the children's room loam is just the right thing
- unpleasant odours are largely absorbed and neutralised in the kitchen and dining room.

Loam is free of harmful substances and small scratches and dirt on loam walls can be easily repaired. The loam surface absorbs larger amounts of moisture and releases it into the indoor air. This creates an unmistakable feel-good climate. Wherever you use loam, you can not only seen it, but also felt.

Loam is not a standardized building material, it is a mixture of clay, silt (finest sand), as well as sand and gravel. A relatively constant air humidity of 50% can easily be achieved with loam plaster.
