Dear Solar,
If you compare a room built with papercrete with a room built with
conventional concrete, one of the major advantages of papercerte room
is that its walls breathe.
The conventional cement blocks do not breath.
If you put a single layer of styrofoam in the middle of two wedges of
papercrete, the walls will not be able to breathe.
Crumbling the styrofoam will allow the walls to breathe to a large extent.
Regards
Ashok
