The experts from CLAYTEC's partner craftsman company Lehmbau Pritzl from Otterberg bricked up the eaves sides of the former barn with CLAYTEC clay blocks light NF1200 and clay masonry mortar light. They then applied reed light building boards on top of the clay blocks, plastered with the classic clay base coat with straw as well as the clay top coat fine 06. The single-layer thin plaster is ideal for achieving a fine and natural surface finish.
