Sheeps wool Insulation
Sheeps wool insulation is made as the name suggests from natural sheeps' wool which is made into insulation batts. Its natural properties make it safe to handle. Sheeps wool insulation has a good thermal mass and ablity to control moisture. Studies have shown that in summer, wool insulation actually keeps buildings cooler during the day and warmer at night.
 | Sheeps wool also is very efficient at absorbing indoor air pollutants. It can absorb and permanently retain high levels of formaldehyde, emitted from some common building materials and furniture and nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, which are normal by-products of combustion processes (e.g., gas stoves and heaters). |
Consistency of the product is monitored by quality tests carried out by the manufacturer:
- Visual grading of wool before binding
- Visual checks of the finished product for damage & flaws before shipping
Some other advantages to using sheeps wool insulation are detailed below:
- Good thermal performance
- Reusable & recyclable
- Helps regulate moisture levels
- Harmless easy to install without gloves or breathing equipment
- It has a high ignition point and so has a higher fire resistance than cellulose and cellular plastic insulation. Plus no toxins will be produced in the event of fire
- No cavity for ventilation required since no condensation occurs
- Sheeps wool insulation can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture
- Condensation control. Wool generates heat when it absorbs moisture from the air. When the air is saturated with water vapour, wool absorbs some 40% of its dry weight in moisture, producing 960 kilojoules of heat energy for every kilogram of dry wool. This warmth is not noticeable inside the building but it acts to prevent condensation in construction cavities by maintaining the temperature above the dew-point in damp
conditions - Sheeps wool is hygroscopic, and can absorb and desorb water vapour without compromising its thermal efficiency. This makes it ideal for use in roofs and timber framed walls designed to avoid a damaging build-up of moisture by allowing water vapour to migrate through the structure.
