Cob Home Insurance From Adrian Flux
Cob, a traditional mixture of straw, sand and clay, has been used to construct houses and other buildings all around the world for thousands of years. As a very strong, versatile material, a great insulator and with an attractive earthy finish, cob continues to be a very popular choice today for both traditional building and modern eco-houses.
As well as the organic look of houses built from cob, they can be extremely green to build – requiring very few materials that cant be found and extracted from the building site itself. Houses made of cob can also be very cheap to run, often featuring excellent insulation and with modern examples also coming with plenty of power-saving and solar equipment to keep bills to a minimum.
Whether you have bought a complete build or are putting the finishing touches to your own, you probably will have faced issues getting insurance for your cob house. The uncommon construction methods that give cob houses their unique looks and great strength can also pose a problem with planning and insurance, with many insurers baulking at the sight of your unusual home.
Whilst some insurers might think your cob building is a high insurance risk due to its non-standard construction, at Adrian Flux we recognise that thousands of years of expertise have gone into perfecting your build, and that your cob house is as safe and secure as any modern building.
