About Me
About Me:

Hybrid Adobe is a revolutionary building material used to create low-cost insulated homes, sculptures, domes, garden walls, and more. Its sustainability makes it appealing to green builders. Its adaptability makes it appealing to creatives. Hybrid Adobe combines recycled paper with earth, sand, and a binder to create a sustainable, inexpensive, strong, fibered material that can be poured, sprayed, or sculpted, to form blocks, logs, panels, walls, and an infinite variety of creative shapes.

Professional Information
Overview:Hybrid Adobe is a low-cost, energy-efficient, cutting-edge material that you can make on site. It has many applications including building, landscaping, sculpture, and insulation. The components include recyclable and reusable materials (including newspapers, junk mail and waste paper), water, plant fibers, clay and a binder, such as cement or fly-ash. Hybrid Adobe can also be used to create sculptures, garden walls, and furniture. It cuts easily with a saw once it is dry, is non-toxic, flexible for greater earthquake resistance, and best of all fire-proof. Tensile strength is extremely high due to the multi-directional nature of the paper fibers. Since Hybrid Adobe is so easy, cheap and insulative (a 12" wall is rated at R24-R33 depending on the blend), it is perfect for do-it-yourself material for home builders or communities working together to complete a series of buildings. A person working alone could build a small dome in under a month. Hybrid Adobe panels can also be applied to the interior or exterior of existing structures. This gives the building a new aesthetic and improves structural strength while increasing its insulation value, reducing the energy needlessly wasted on heating and cooling
