How to Take Care of Rammed Earth Structures - Aussie Built Rammed Earth Maintenance Guide

Rammed earth, an ancient building technique, has proven its ability to stand the test of time, but some maintenance is required to keep structures standing tall. Aussie Built uses Tech-Dry® Plasticure in all of our projects to ensure waterproofing for the lifetime of each build, but surface sealers are also effective. Without Plasticure, Aussie Built recommends using both Tech-Dry’s Earth Binder and Stabilised Earth Water Repellent W.
