How reeds are used in modern construction

Two hundred years ago, such natural material as reeds was used for construction purposes in many European countries, for example, in Germany and Denmark. And they used such an unusual natural material not only to create roofs, but also as a full-fledged building material for the construction of buildings.

The most amazing thing is that in Russia such material is practically not used and annually this raw material disappears, since no one is engaged in cutting it. True, the situation has changed to some extent recently, they began to use the material for the manufacture of insulation mats, roofing, erection of arbors, as well as small private houses.

Bulrush, as a building material, is good because it is environmentally friendly for humans, rodents and various parasites never manage it. And most importantly, it does not conduct heat at all, which means that in a building made of it, it will always be dry and warm.

Those experts in the field of construction who are engaged in the creation of reed roofs note that roofs from reeds do not need ventilation at all. In a house built with reeds, natural ventilation will always be carried out, the rooms will be very warm in the winter, and during the hot season there will be a pleasant coolness.

By the way, scientists some time ago noticed that the energy and vitality of a person living in a house built on the basis of reeds, several times higher than that of someone who lives in an ordinary brick the house.

Some people believe that reed is an analogue of natural wood, but this is not entirely true, since reed raw materials have a different composition and other properties. In the world of construction, reeds are considered the most promising material, and reed blocks and other products, as well as reed building materials, are made from it.

Most often, reed materials are used in construction, and these include mats, fascines, beams and slabs, which are made from whole reed stems. Moreover, the stems in such products can be located in the longitudinal position or transverse, and they are stitched with a special steel wire.

Reed materials have both excellent flexibility and high strength, which is why they are used to create flat roofs in low-rise buildings and for erecting walls in small buildings.
