    Earth floors – low impact flooring system

    What are Earth Floors?

    • Also commonly called cob floors, poured adobe floors, rammed earth floors, clay floors or earthen floors.
    • An earth floor consists of a combination of clay, sand and fibre. We have developed a two coat system to suit most flooring needs.
    • The earth floor is poured wet, and finished with oil and wax, which gives a hard and waterproof finish. You can mop an earth floor once it is sealed.

    Why are they so beneficial?

    • The earth floor is an environmentally low impact solution. It was a very low embodied energy.
    • They save you money on your heating and cooling bills. The earthen floor acts as a thermal battery in your house. This keeps your room cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
    • The finish coat can be pigmented to match your room and can be supplied in a range of finishes.
    • Earth floors are slightly soft to the touch, which gives improved room acoustics and can relieve joint pain.
    • Our Earthen floor mix can be installed on top of existing flooring systems, or directly on subsoil grade.

    There’s a crash coming – a slap from Mother Nature. This isn’t pessimistic; it’s realistic.

    The human impact on nature and on each other is accelerating and needs systemic change to reverse.

    We’re not advocating poverty, or a hair-shirt existence. We advocate changes that will mean better lives for almost everyone.
