Dumak

Dumak, also known as Dumak or Dumak technique, is a traditional thermal insulation method used in some cultures to keep a space warm. It involves creating a barrier—often with materials like straw, clay, or insulation layers—around a building or a specific area to trap heat and prevent cold air from entering. This technique leverages natural insulating properties to maintain a comfortable temperature without relying heavily on modern heating systems. Dumak is valued for its eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainable approach to thermal regulation in traditional architecture.
