Matera | naturlige byggematerialer

We work towards regenerative building practices. We sell natural building materials with low carbon emissions, clay plaster, clay paint, hemp-lime, natural insulation and boards and we design biocentric architecture in collaboration with private clients and the construction industry. Visit our Oslo showroom to see and feel biogenic materials, join a clay plastering course, or book a visit for your office

Nice little Friday project with our friends @breienboasson and @vollsetlandmark. A studio pinboard and acoustic frame from our 5cm smoked cork facade panels with a frame in our 19mm CLT plates.

Another clay bathroom project wrapped up beautifully — final inspection done, and it’s looking exactly as it should. ✨

Clay plaster isn’t just about aesthetics. In wet rooms like bathrooms, it actively regulates humidity and temperature — absorbing excess moisture when the room is steamy and releasing it back as things dry out. The result is a space that feels naturally warm and healthy.

It’s a small material choice with a big impact on how a room actually feels day to day.

Thinking about clay plaster for your next project? Matera can help — from early material selection and design through to connecting you with skilled craftspeople and supporting the build to completion. Whether you’re an architect, a builder, or a private customer taking on your own home, we’re here to guide the process.

Matera is Norway’s leading supplier of biobased building materials — clay, hemp, cork, wood fibre, and lime — helping create healthier spaces, one project at a time.

Don’t be afraid. An exhibition about death at @nasjonalmuseet. Matera provided clay plaster and wood fibre building systems from @claytec_lehmbaustoffe . Thanks to the museum for another great collaboration. Always important to think about death when it comes to materials. These ones are compostable.

Something taking shape @nasjonalmuseet 🤫

Cork facade and wall lining panels have arrived at the showroom from our partners at @amorimcork

We make custom samples for our customers. Always a joy to see the colours they pick out. #yosima @claytec_lehmbaustoffe

Our first installation of Diathonite thermactiv last summer, to the concrete basement walls of two apartments in Oslo. Diathonite is fast to install (up to 500sqm in a day) and offers impressive thermal, moisture and acoustic benefits to any wall it joins.

OSB and chipboard are often the weakest link in timber construction systems, with woodchip sourced from virgin forests and bonded using synthetic resins. We’re excited to introduce OSB and chipboard from @pfleiderer_deutschland to our collection. The formaldehyde-free boards are made with a high percentage of recycled timber while also meeting or exceeding the performance specs of standard boards.

Nice start to the day, picking out materials and colours with a client using our a5 sample boards.

Our expanded cork facade and expanded cork insulation boards from @amorimcork have arrived! Get in touch to learn more about using cork on your next project.

Exciting times on site @glasset_vinbar today. Getting started with our 3 day installation of @sould.dk acoustic mats on the ceiling. Installation by @byggimpuls.

Oslo is full of beautiful old brick buildings — and most of them are cold and damp. Typical solid brick walls from the late 1800s and early 1900s lose a lot of heat. Over time, modern boards and plastic paints have made things worse by trapping moisture inside the walls, leading to cold, damp interiors. By using our natural lime and cork insulating plasters from @diasen_official , we can help these buildings breathe again. The historic facade stays the same, room sizes stay the same, but the walls become warmer, drier, and more comfortable — reducing heat loss by 80% (1.4W/m2k down to 0.3W/m2k) Where thicker applications are possible, we can easily get down to modern standards. Upgrading historic buildings without losing what makes them special.

We’re thrilled to announce that @matera.no has been awarded funding from @oslo.kommune to carry out two years of testing and monitoring of our first hempcrete projects in the city.

@house_for_a_forest is Norway’s first in-situ hempcrete house, and our new project at Vetlandsveien will be the first hempcrete block house in the country.

The research programme is being carried out in collaboration with @uninmbu , combining academic research with real-world construction.

Both buildings are hybrid constructions including hempcrete from @isohemp_naturalbuilding , woodfibre from @gutex_de and clay plaster from @claytec_lehmbaustoffe , along with insulating lime and cork plaster from @diasen_official . With the support of the municipality, we will monitor the real-world performance of these two case-study buildings, generating valuable data on energy use, thermal and moisture behaviour, and indoor climate.

This marks an important step in building a robust knowledge base for biogenic construction in Norway, grounded in lived and measurable performance.

We design, supply and build custom furniture with 3 and 5 layer plates from @binderholzgroup. Whether you want a simple shelf or a full apartment of custom elements, we can help. This project is the apartment at @house_for_a_forest

Come and visit us at our showroom in kampen to see all the colours of yosima design plasters.
