Tiges de graminées (surtout de seigle), de genêts ou de roseaux utilisées autrefois comme matériau de couverture des chaumières [...] C'est un assez bon isolant thermique, mais son emploi est devenu rare, d'une part à cause de sa sensibilité au feu [...] d'autre part à cause du coût de sa mise en œuvre [...] 2, record 1, French, - chaume

Les couvertures en chaume sont exécutées avec du jonc marin ou du roseau. [...] La paille de seigle ou de blé, qui était autrefois d'un usage traditionnel pour ce type de couverture, a dû être abandonnée [...] Par ailleurs, le roseau est moins fragile que la paille et présente moins de déchets au transport. [...] Les cannes sont triées et on élimine les plus grosses; elles sont alors conditionnées en bottes de 60 cm de circonférence. 3, record 1, French, - chaume
