EcoCocon Natural Wall System – Nature-Inspired Innovation
The EcoCocon Straw Wall System brings together natural materials and modern engineering to create healthy, energy-efficient and sustainable homes. Made from 98% renewable resources, these prefabricated straw-and-timber panels deliver exceptional performance while dramatically reducing environmental impact.
Why Choose EcoCocon?
Natural & Healthy
EcoCocon panels support superior indoor comfort using only natural materials. Their vapour-permeable design prevents excess humidity, drafts and mold while maintaining stable temperatures year-round. With no harmful emissions, they create a clean, healthy living environment.
Energy Efficient
Using straw’s remarkable insulation properties, EcoCocon panels achieve a U-value of 0.12 W/m²K, with airtight construction and no thermal bridges. This makes it easier to meet the Passivhaus standard and significantly reduce energy consumption.
Safe & Durable
Certified by the German Passivhaus Institute, EcoCocon systems offer high fire resistance, excellent sound insulation and proven long-term durability. Their global recognition highlights both reliability and innovation.
Fast & Flexible
Prefabricated under strict quality control, the panels enable quick, clean installation with custom dimensions for bespoke designs. With no wet processes, construction is efficient and low-waste.
A Sustainable Solution
EcoCocon combines traditional natural materials with advanced technology, supporting low-carbon, high-performance buildings. Certified Cradle to Cradle, the system is ideal for modern eco-homes and high-comfort spaces such as studios.
Why Build Passive in the UK?
As energy costs rise, Passive Houses offer superior comfort, minimal energy use and long-term resilience across the UK’s diverse climate. EcoCocon makes building to this standard both practical and accessible.
