We use natural sheep’s wool to insulate under floors, lofts and ceilings because it is the most sustainable and effective product available.
The benefits of using sheep’s wool for insulation include:
- Natural and sustainable: Sheep’s wool insulation is made from natural fibres, making it an environmentally friendly option. It is renewable and biodegradable, which can be appealing to those looking to reduce their environmental impact.
- Thermal performance: Sheep’s wool has excellent thermal properties, providing effective insulation against both heat loss and heat gain. It can help to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
- Moisture regulation: Sheep’s wool can absorb and release moisture, helping to regulate indoor humidity levels. This can be beneficial for maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment, as well as reducing the risk of condensation and mould growth.
- Fire retardant: Wool is naturally fire retardant, meaning it has a high ignition temperature and does not readily support combustion. This can provide an added level of safety in the event of a fire.
- Sound absorption: Sheep’s wool insulation also has good acoustic properties, absorbing sound and reducing noise transmission between rooms. This can create a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
- Non-toxic: Sheep’s wool insulation typically does not contain harmful chemicals or additives, making it a safe choice for indoor use. It is also low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can contribute to better indoor air quality.
