Mulligan’s Flat Woodland Sanctuary
The natural appearance of rammed earth walls built with our red gravel is unmatched by conventional building products and it produces a finish that is extremely attractive. Plus it is an environmentally responsible building medium.
A distinctive feature of rammed earth is that it is a finished product. Trades can be kept to a minimum with no need for further rendering, cladding, plastering, painting or insulation. Constructions are made by using a mixture of granite, silt, clay and cement which is compacted in layers between a robust formwork. Stabilized rammed earth is highly durable with little or no maintenance
The high thermal mass of rammed earth evens out temperature fluctuations on a building, coupled with good passive solar design, this will result in significant savings in heating and cooling energy consumptions.
