When it comes to new builds, however, rival firm Agile Property and Homes, which offers straw-stuffed panels previously marketed under the brand name ModCell, argues that incoming construction standards are likely to demand higher insulation levels in walls. Therefore, thicker walls might become more common no matter what material you choose. Straw-insulated homes might not, then, seem uniquely chunky in the near future.
