Pressed Earth – Earth Building Association of New Zealand
— Compressed earth bricks made in manual or engine operated presses are one of the more modern additions to the earth building scene, dating from last century. This technique is now a widespread practice around the world. The bricks are made from a dry mix, often stabilised with up to 10% cement.

Compressed Stabilised Earth Block
CEB can be compressed in many different shapes and sizes. For example, the Auram press 3000 can make 70 different blocks using only 18 moulds. Compressed earth blocks can be stabilised or not. But most of the times, they are stabilised with cement or lime. Therefore, we prefer today to call them Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB).
