Cob Fun Facts
Cob is a traditional building material made from clay, sand, straw, and water, and has been used for thousands of years, with evidence of cob structures dating back to ancient times in places like Yemen and the UK.
Cob structures can naturally regulate indoor temperature, keeping them cool in the summer and warm in the winter due to their thick, thermal mass walls.
