Rammed Earth Cemetery Urn Wall

Back to overview

Rammed earth in a cemetery in the Netherlands, where we were commissioned by the world-renowned artist Louwrien Wijers to construct an urn wall, a wall at the ash scattering field and the entrance walls to the cemetery using our rammed earth techniques.

The rammed earth work was carried out by Charles Thuijls' team. The material came recycled from a French farm that had to make way for a motorway extension. All the tadelakt work was carried out by our team.

Health benefits of Rammed Earth

At Tierrafino, we believe that true beauty is inseparable from health. Our commitment to using 100% natural ingredients means that our rammed earth not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your spaces but also contribute significantly to a healthier environment.

  • Our clay-based products are free from harmful chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing the presence of toxins in your home or workplace.

  • Clay naturally regulates humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture, helping to maintain optimal indoor humidity levels. This reduces the likelihood of mold growth and creates a more comfortable living environment.

  • The antistatic nature of clay surfaces reduces dust accumulation, making it an excellent choice for people with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.

  • The density of our natural plasters absorbs sound, reducing echo and noise pollution within your space.
