Information about our Premium and Comfort Range of Thermal / Acoustic Insulation Rolls
|
|
|
| |
Our flagship products are our Thermal / Acoustic insulation rolls, which are the best performing, safest and most natural insulation products available. Please read on to find out why.
| Material Advantages • Produced using 100 % pure new sheep's wool, a contiunuous and sustainable resource
• The wool is naturally washed and mechanically bonded, no chemicals or glues are needed to hold the fibres together
• Wool fibres are breathable, meaning they absorb and release moisture without reducing thermal performance
• Sheep Wool Insulation rolls are produced to standard width requirements - saving time when fitting
|
|
 |
|
• The insulation follows the shape of rafters, studs and joists for a permanently tight fit
• Multiple layered wool fibres effectively reduce airborne sound transfer
• Safe to handle and work with - Meaning low construction costs and hazard free installation
• Wool does not support combustion and will extinguish itself in the event of fire
• Technically certified products with online advice and telephone helpline service
• Long lifetime, environmentally safe and a biodegradable raw material
|
Energy Saving & Safe To Use
•Wool is designed by nature to save energy
• Sheep Wool Insulation also requires only a fraction of the energy to produce compared to that of man made counterparts
• This means that Sheep Wool Insulation will pay back its energy costs more than 5 times sooner (only 15 kW of energy are used to produce 1 m³)
• Sheep Wool Insulation is perfectly safe to touch and requires no specialised safety clothing or equipment to fit
• It causes no irritation to the eyes, skin or lungs and wool fibres present no hazard to your health

|
A Lifetimes Performance
• Once installed, wool can absorb and release moisture without reducing it's thermal performance
• This makes Sheep Wool Insulation particularly suitable for use in breathable construction situations
• Wool has a higher fire resistance than cellulose and cellular plastic insulation materials
• It does not burn, but instead singes away from fire and extinguishes itself (Wool has a very high inflammation point of 560°C due to its high Nitrogen content of ~16%)
|
• Wool is self extinguishing because of its high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI=25.2), which means to completely burn wool an oxygen content of 25.2% is necessary whereas air only has 21%
• Sheep Wool Insulation is completely reusable and biodegradable
• Ideal for newly built houses and restoration (refurbishment) projects
• Wool preserves timber constructions - it can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture generating ~ 1000 kilojoules of heat for every kilogram of wool moving the temperature above dew-point
• Sheep Wool Insulation does not settle due to the high elasticity of the wool fibres

Applications of Sheep Wool Insulation
Sheep Wool Insulation Thermal / Acoustic rolls can be used throughout a building to reduce heat loss. The following diagram shows the typical heat loss of uninsulated elements of a house.
