Sumario:	This article reports that Agri-Panel compressed wheat-straw panels for structural walls, curtain walls, floors, and flat roofs in commercial buildings use no adhesive binders and incorporate a natural mineral to resist termites, carpenter ants, and other pests. The 7/4" thick panels have a thermal R-value of 25.4, and their agricultural fiber serves as a natural insulator to resist hot and cold fluctuations.
