Alberta Straw Board Trials Show Promise for Interior Use
Premier Greenfield received straw board samples from the Montreal Laboratory of the Dominion Forestry Branch. The tests show real potential as a wallboard substitute similar to interior plasterboard but unsuitable for exterior weather exposure. Commercial viability may be delayed by costs and market demand, with western demand likely insufficient and eastward straw shipment being uneconomical.
