Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Alternatives to Foam core structural bldg panels

[Denise Meier and/or Michael Jacob (dmmj]

To continue this discussion of alternatives, I read of a Texas company, 
Stramit USA (P.O. Box 885, Perryton, TX 79070; call Pam Lewis 
at 806/435-9303) who manufactures a compressed straw panel for interior 
partitions. 
Enviropanels are 2-1/4 inch thick with paper facing similiar to drywall. 
They come in 4 feet wide and 8 to 12 foot lengths in 6 inch increments. 
An 8 foot panel weighs 140 pounds. Stramit supplies the assembling hardware.
There are also makers of exterior wheat straw panels out there as an 
alternative to foam core.
