Eco straw panel houses are a new quality of housing. The materials used in our product make a dramatic improvement in the human environment.

THE MAIN

ADVANTAGES OF

PRODUCT

SOLODIM'S

ENVIRONMENTALITY

A high level of comfort: a healthy home to live in.
We know exactly what a truly eco-friendly home is! Our houses are built using natural materials: wood, straw, clay, lime, sand. In partnership with nature, we skilfully combine them and turn them into a reliable, durable and safe building material for your dream home.
No harmful fumes, no mould, no dust. Eco panels are highly vapour-permeable, providing natural humidity of 60% and healthy microclimate in the house.
It is proved that the eco house possesses biopositive and medical properties as 80% of its structure consists of natural materials. Also these materials dampen "white noise". Straw eco-houses are in fact natural health resorts that improve health by creating an environment with optimal temperature, humidity and fresh air (straw panels are "breathing"). It has been proven that people suffering from bronchopulmonary and allergic diseases feel significantly better in such houses.

ECONOMY

Our product has a high degree of thermal insulation, which allows you to save on heating and cooling costs and enjoy the comfort of living in your home;
Homes built with eco-panels are energy-efficient and save up to 80% on heating and cooling costs.
Because of its unique cell structure, straw has been used in construction for thousands of years. In combination with modern technologies in our production process, we have been able to further improve its characteristics and obtain exceptional insulating properties. No thermal bridges, no dew points and easy airtightness provide our eco houses with the standard of an energy-efficient house. And the airtightness prevents cold and hot air from penetrating.

-Natural insulating material, 3 times lower than that of aerated concrete; 4 times lower than that of wood and 7 times lower than that of bricks (example: the thermal conductivity of a 40 cm eco-panel = the thermal conductivity of a 6 m brick wall).

Straw heat transfer coefficient: u=0.144 W/m2K
Thermal conductivity of straw: 0,05-0,065 W/(mK)
(4 times lower than that of wood 0.18-.023; 7 times lower than that of bricks 0.56-0.7)
Passive A+ standards
Near-zero-consumption homes. Maximum energy efficiency.

You will forget about high energy bills forever!!!
A study on straw as a building material conducted by the University of Bath, England, has proven that straw walls provide twice the thermal insulation required by building regulations.

SOUNDPROOFING

SOLODIM panels have excellent soundproofing properties. The interwoven straw structure and wall thickness of 40 cm perfectly absorbs sound and provides a sound penetration resistance of up to 56 dB, which is equivalent to the sound insulation of a 2.5 m brick wall. This far exceeds standard requirements and provides exceptional acoustic comfort.

PERMEABILITY

Straw panels plastered with natural, clay mortar have a vapour permeability coefficient of at least 0.05 mg/(m*h*Pa). This creates favourable climate control, which saves on ventilation, recuperation and air conditioning costs. Excellent indoor air quality is created through the natural regulation of humidity. A healthy living environment is ensured.
The natural components in our product (straw, clay, lime) are open to the diffusion of water vapour, and so optimally regulate the passage of humidity through the panel, and prevent the formation of condensation. Lime and clay plasters act as moisture regulators. If there is too much moisture in the room, they absorb it into themselves. When humidity is low, the plaster gives it back. The straw in the panels has 90% of its direction from the inside of the house to the outside, and the tubular structure acts as an instant moisture lift from the inside plaster to the outside, from which it can be freely removed.
This is why it is very important that mortars, wall covering materials do not contain cement and chemical components that impede vapour circulation, so as not to alter the properties of natural eco materials.

FIREPROOF

The structure has high fire performance. The straw in the panel is highly compacted (150kg/m3). It contains very little oxygen for combustion. In addition, there is a lot of silica in the straw, which is a natural fire retardant. In addition, the panels are protected with clay (lime) plaster on both sides. Fire resistance class of the load-bearing elements: REI 120. Test duration: 120min. Tests were carried out in Germany, France as well as in Ukraine.
Fire reaction of ecopanels with bio-insulation after plastering according to the European classification of EN 13501-1 - Bs1d0(low-combustible). The test duration is 120 minutes.

NO GRAINS

Straw contains only cellulose and is not a food source. Rodents like to build tunnels and look for hollows. Strongly compacted straw (150kg/m3) combined with clay and lime plaster is not a suitable environment for them. Rye straw is used exclusively for the production of eco panels. It is a proven fact that mice do not like rye because of the large number of thorns in it as well as its composition. Only rye straw has high silica content, which makes it durable and long-lasting. Insects and rodents do not eat it or even settle in it.
Proven by personal example of living in an eco-house!

MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

We follow the criteria of biobuilding and bioclimatism, using materials with a minimal environmental impact, almost without transformation; a product from SOLODIM is considered Negative Carbon Construction, as the materials do not require CO2 emissions during production and, on the contrary, absorb carbon dioxide during their life cycle, trapped in straw and wood.
Our panels have a very beneficial effect on the climate. This is partly due to the CO2 content of straw and wood, and partly because straw is a by-product of the agricultural sector and therefore already produced.
In addition, our panels replace high-emission materials such as concrete, bricks, aerated concrete, or polystyrene, which further reduces the impact on the climate.

SOLODIM ECO PANEL IS MADE FROM 99% NATURAL AND RENEWABLE MATERIALS

WE ARE STRIVING FOR A HEALTHIER WORLD

SOLODIM not only uses materials that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, but thanks to the excellent thermal performance of our system we save a considerable amount of energy throughout the life cycle of our buildings.

The building and construction sector is responsible for
39% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions.

As a company, we strive to make natural building materials universally available and to promote solutions that are good for people and the planet alike.

When resources are scarce, straw is the ideal building material. It is renewable, widely available and in most cases has no other use.

On average, our panels consist of 89% straw and 10% wood. Because forests play an important role in protecting our climate, we have designed our panels to use as little wood as possible - just enough to structure the system.

The wood we use is FSC certified and the straw is a by-product of grain production.

GREEN BUILDING

Pressed straw is a sustainable alternative to concrete, aerated concrete and bricks!

In Ukraine, we have more straw than we know what to do with - we could build thousands of houses every year from surplus straw. Like trees, straw picks up carbon as it grows.

Modern cement is a constant disaster for our climate. Worldwide, cement production alone accounts for 5-10% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions; where we don't need it, we shouldn't use it.

Straw grows every year. Stuff that straw into a panel that will produce a building for years to come - we are making a huge contribution to carbon sequestration, all without the need for sophisticated technology.

The double wooden frame with a high safety margin (quality wood - pine, thermally treated (timber 100x50), max. 12% humidity), the wall panel width 1.2 m, thickness 0.45 m and height 3.0 m has the following properties :
RESISTANCE TO HORIZONTAL LOAD
43 tonnes
Horizontal crushing load: 421,69 kN/m2. 43 672 kg.
VERTICAL LOAD RESISTANCE
32 tonnes
-Vertical breaking load: 332.93 kN/m2 32,723 kg.
This allows the construction of buildings up to 3 floors. Such eco-house, built with observance of technology, will serve you not less than 50 years!!!

RELIABILITY

The houses are designed to be highly resistant to storm winds, cyclones and earthquakes.

Seismic resistance up to 9 on the Richter scale

LONG-TERM GUARANTEE

Quality wood and well-compressed straw are strong materials. Straw is used as a thermal insulator and plastered with a lime or clay vapour permeable mortar. This eco plaster is a natural preservative that keeps wood and straw dry at all times. Thousands of our ancestral houses made of wood and plastered with clay or lime, which are still standing in excellent condition today, are an example of the increased longevity of eco houses.
Modern straw construction methods come from the beginning of the last century. The first houses built in Europe (1921) and the USA (1925) are still in excellent condition.
We offer a 25-year manufacturer's warranty on the insulation layer and 50 years on the structure. However, if the standard of installation is followed and the building from SOLODIM is properly operated, the longevity of a building from SOLODIM can be measured in centuries.

CONSTRUCTION SPEED

A particular advantage of this product is the speed of construction - quick assembly. The eco-panels have a high degree of factory readiness. It takes from one week to one month to produce the panels of a future house set. At the same time, the foundation is poured. House of eco panels is assembled within 5-10 days. Finishing can be done in a month. Relatively light prefabricated houses can be mounted on any type of ground.
Eco House allows you to minimize the time of construction stress and money, because the cost increases with increasing construction time! One standard panel weighs up to 200 kg. This allows it to be easily assembled by 4 workers without special equipment and machinery.

EUROPEAN STANDARDS COMPLIANT

We work with technologies which are used in the EU. Production is certified in Ukraine. There are all certificates for fire safety, durability, thermal conductivity and sanitary standards. Installation is carried out by professional teams according to building regulations.

INDEPENDENT POWER

No need to connect gas. Solar panels, heat pumps, cookers and solid fuel boilers are especially justified in warm, energy-efficient homes made of our straw panels.
The clay plaster, when heated by heating, creates biomass and subsequently acts as a heat accumulator, releasing the heat back. In summer, the clay plaster, which is protected from direct sunlight, works the other way around - it cools the room!

POPULARITY

In America and many European countries, the profitability of investments in thatched houses has increased considerably over the past few years. In fact, modern methods of construction of ecological and energy efficient houses are the improved technologies of our ancestors!!! When perfected, these technologies make it possible to build houses that maintain a comfortable climate and require minimal maintenance costs. The ECO trend is developing rapidly. Every day there are more and more sensible people who want to live in harmony with nature, to lead a healthy lifestyle, to eat healthy food, to visit environmentally friendly places, to live in a safe environment. The Eco House is the embodiment of all this, and also gives the opportunity to be different from everyone else and feel simply in line with the ECO trend. After all, the future belongs to this technology.

UNVERSATILITY

The Eco House by SOLODIM is individually adapted to each project. The possibility of realising any design of both the exterior and the interior. The highlight of this product is that with its naturalness it creates a unique experience, which cannot be copied by other technologies in construction.
"A house you want to come back to!!!"

AVAILABILITY

In spite of all the above-mentioned advantages and the fact that eco products are always more expensive than non-natural (chemical and synthetic) ones. The cost of an eco-house in the end is close to the cost of a conventional one. But feeling of comfort, usefulness and economy of means of the maintenance put this house on a level of the premium class of habitation. This technology is suitable for people with different incomes, because it includes a wide range of construction solutions.

All these factors of Eco uniqueness create a set of benefits for the end consumer, corporate clients, as well as a high commercial value for investors and developers !!!
