450 бали вложи семейство в строежа на къщата си от слама в Кладница - DarikNews.bg Нов прочит на приказката за „Трите прасенца" е на път да направят собствениците на къща от слама в пернишкото село Кладница. Младо семейство от София вече е вдигнало покрива на една от малкото „пасивни къщи" в България, изградени от бали със слама. Един ТИР с 450 бали слама са били нужни за дома на Веселин Москов, който вече е изграден до замазката с глина за десет седмици. Близо година Веселин изучава методите на строителство със сламени бали - малко позното в България, но с традиции в страни като Ирландия, Германия, Англия, Чехия, Холандия и САЩ. Сламата се е използвана в България като техника за строителство, но под друг тип материал „кирпича", който представлява тухлички от глина и слама, но като влагане на цели бали като стени и изолационен материал в къща, почти не е познато у нас, обяснява Веселин. „45 см изолация, колкото са широки балите, е доста впечатляващо. Къщата от слама е добра за околната среда и за здравето на хората, които обитават такъв дом, казва с усмивка Веселин.
