Build on straw now!

Wood-straw assembly systems facilitate the use.

Real pioneering work by innovative builders!

You will see selected examples of how existing buildings are insulated or new buildings are constructed with serially prefabricated assembly systems made of wood and straw. Special dimensions, angle and gable elements, recesses for windows and doors can be made to measure by LORENZ on request – all with the well-known quality.

Renovation projects with straw insulation

The insulation values of the LORENZ straw insulation systems achieve the highest requirements of climate-friendly renovation.
Already with a positive climate balance (production consumes only a fraction of the CO2 bound in the straw), LORENZ modules offer effective cold and heat protection. A selection of reference insulation projects with DD modules.

Ecological construction projects with wood-straw assembly systems

Builders benefit from a wide range of design options, planning and cost advantages, as well as a feel-good atmosphere and optimal indoor climate.
Your grandchildren will also thank you for the ecological balance and recyclability. Projects with LORENZ modules – a small selection.

Video about the construction of a home from natural building materials. The building material removes 20 t of CO2 from the atmosphere. This means that the ecological balance of the building is climate-positive. Compared to conventional buildings, the primary energy consumption of the residents is covered for years. Building with regenerative building materials is not only healthy to live in and extremely resource-saving, it is also simple thanks to innovative building systems!
