Floor Plans and Specifications

The basic CRN Cottage Housing kit utilizes compressed agricultural fiber such as wheat or rice straw board for all interior and exterior walls and the ceiling/roof. The strawboard panels are nominally 2" thick, 4' in width and cut to length (8' to 16'). The walls (interior and exterior) and ceiling/roof are of single panel thickness (2").

 Additional thermal insulation can be achieved using fiberglass insulation (R-13, R-19 or R-30) or foil radiant barrier insulation with space provided by the attachment of various sized 'hat channels' to both the exterior walls and roof.
 
The structures are site assembled. The assembly consists of inserting the various 4’ wide straw board panels into both light gauge "C" and "I" steel channels for the interior and exterior wall sub-assemblies in 4' bays until the entire interior and exterior wall sections are complete. 
 
The kits can be erected on any foundation system including concrete or block piers, concrete pad, asphalt and rapid runway repair tracking material. The floor system may also be installed on other similar flat surface foundations of asphalt, rapid runway repair tracking material or equivalent.
