We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Natural Materials",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Step-by-step guide to using natural finishes from
Green Books, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lime and clay based plasters, renders and paints: a practical guide to one of the oldest and most versatile building materials".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Timber firm tree incentive for Ecobuild delegates from
Arnold Laver Group: "Arnold Laver Timber World will plant a tree for every person to register their details with them at Ecobuild 2008".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Arch Timber Protection
concerning its Dricon and Non-Com Exterior
- take a look at Arch protects historic Culloden battlefield centre
which says: "Newly opened visitor centre at historic battlefield of Culloden in Scotland has been protected by two of Arch's unique fire retardant treatments, Dricon and Non-Com Exterior".
Take a look also at the news release from Technal, Technal glazing systems for riverside apartments,
as well as Sandtoft local authority re-roofing scheme from Sandtoft Roof Tiles,
and T.I.Tiles launch innovative facades division from T.I. Dynamic Facades.
