Performance Metrics

Technical Performance

thermostat

Thermal Resistance

R-38[1]

Exceptional insulation performance that meets or exceeds code requirements for extreme climates.

local_fire_department

Fire Resistance

2-Hour Rated[2]

Fire-resistant assembly when combined with lime-plaster finishes, tested to ASTM standards.

eco

Embodied Carbon

Up to 97% Lower[3][4]

Straw bale walls achieve net carbon storage, sequestering more CO₂ than is emitted during their entire lifecycle including harvesting, manufacturing, and transport.

Anatomy of a BrightBale Panel

Precision engineered for durability, breathability, and structural performance.

architecture Precision Timber Chassis

Timber frame providing load-bearing structural support for residential and light commercial loads.

grass High-Density Straw Infill

Compressed to ~9 lb/ft³, creating uniform density that prevents convective air movement and delivers consistent thermal performance across the panel.

air Vapor Permeable

Hygroscopic materials that manage humidity naturally without the need for synthetic plastic barriers.[4]
