RE: [papercreters] Papercrete Underground?

Maybe but it might work to capture moisture as well,  it will absorb water if water or moisture can get to it.  R value is a variable but it should be substantial, paper alone is very high and it lessens with how much cement and sand.

I do have some rather thick banner fabric. Would it work to wrap that around it? Any idea about it's insulation rating? --- On Thu, 6/16/11, Janoahsh <janoahsh@alaska.net> wrote: From: Janoahsh <janoahsh@alaska.net> Subject: RE: [papercreters] Papercrete Underground?

What would be it's insulative value if was eight or twelve inches thick.   Are there any additives that would help it hold up better or insulate better?   I am thinking about walls for a root celler. I also am thinking about four foot deep walls to set a greenhouse on so I can run PEX tubing through the soil and heat fluid with an antique Laundry Stove that I have.   Alan in Michigan
