Cane mat

Store in a dry and ventilated place (not under foil). Keep away from moisture and condensation during transportation and storage.

The stems can be cut with rose shears. Parts with stem lengths below 30cm are unstable and difficult to handle.

Fixing to the base (wooden beams) is done with galvanized nails or better with galvanized staples. When laying roofs or sloping ceilings, the length of the bracket should be at least 25mm, for walls at least 16mm. The distance between the brackets is 15-20cm in all directions.

Fastening should be done in such a way that the continuous, thicker main conductor is on the room side (room side). The stems are stapled to the substrate and thus the plaster is held in place long term. To stabilise thick layers of clay plaster, the cane mat is embedded in the first layer of plaster that is still damp and fixed, if necessary, to the roof or ceiling. Another roll can then be installed, rotated 90°, thus aiming at a higher class of thermal insulation and making the clay structure lighter.

Clay or lime plaster is applied without pre-wetting with a not very hard solution.

Compliance and specific values cannot be guaranteed as the product is 100% natural. Reeds are typically used as a base for clay or lime plasters that are not exposed to fire.
