My house 1992 build has similar in the upstairs internal walls. It is a
bas***d to get any good anchoring on. The stuff in my house was made by a
company called Stramit http://www.stramit.co.uk/index.html. I know because
when we had a leak in the old shower the straw just soaked up the water and
eventually it was spotted due to a musty smell in an unused spare bedroom.
When I removed the straw wall to replace with PB etc for the En-Suite refit
the word Stramit was clearly visible on the surface.


My house, built 1988, has it, or something like it, in the bathroom,
en suite and cloakroom walls. My last house, also built 1988 but by a
different builder, had it in the bathroom walls.
