What is Lavacrete?
Lavacrete is an exciting little-known building technique that promises sustainable, thermally efficient, fire resistant, concrete style walls using affordable scoria or lava sand. It's DIY friendly, can be easily engineered to pass code, simple construction, and requires no finishing work. The natural volcanic colors are gorgeous, too.
