SIREWALL Insulated Rammed Earth
For thousands of years, civilizations have been building with rammed earth. Secured wooden forms, filled with damp earth were compacted to create stable walls that have lasted several lifetimes.
SIREWALL® has updated ancient rammed earth processes with a new global standard for durable, healthy and energy efficient buildings and spaces. SIREWALL, is a structural wall system typically 18″ to 24″ thick, stabilized with compacted earth and rebar, with 4″ of rigid insulation hidden in the centre of the wall. Eye-catching, the SIREWALLS are a complete wall system with the strength and beauty of sedimentary sandstone. This distinctive, visceral connection to the earth is also the exterior and interior finish of a SIREWALL building – no sealants, siding or drywall required. These high performance walls are constructed with a system backed by twenty years of R&D, producing thermal mass and efficiency beyond any other wall system.
Proudly invest in a legacy for future generations

Taking Advantage of Thermal Mass
We don't heat and cool the buildings we inhabit. For the most part, we can't; they have no real capacity to retain thermal energy. Instead, we heat and cool the air inside them. So when there is a temperature difference between outdoors and what we want to live with inside, we either burn polluting combustible material for heat (coal, oil, wood, etc.) or we use mechanized heating (or cooling) systems.
