Sheep Wool Insulation

Because this insulation material is made from a natural wool fibres, it requires a fraction of the energy to produce when compared with many types of non-renewable insulation on the market today. If you’re looking for a natural insulation that provides fantastic thermal and acoustic performance, sheep wool products could be the right choice for you.

When pure sheep wool reaches the end of it’s service life it can be re-purposed, but it is also totally biodegradable. People often ask us the question ‘ is sheep’s wool a good insulator‘ and the answer is a resounding ‘YES!’.

Advantages of Sheep Wool Insulation

• Safe to handle

When making the decision to use sheep wool for insulation, you can be sure that it is totally safe to handle and very easy in work with. Unlike many other types of insulation it won’t (unless you have an allergy) irritate the skin, eyes or lungs. No PPE whatsoever is required which is potentially a cost advantage to the installer as well as the obvious health advantages.

• Healthy Home Environment 

It is a non-toxic natural material which is resistant to mildew and mould which to contribute greatly to a healthier living environment inside the home. It is also great at regulating humidity as well as purifying the air.

• Excellent Thermal performance

Sheep wool has excellent thermal conductivity so heat passes through the material at a slower rate, reducing heat loss in the home. When considering the natural purpose of the sheep’s coat, it’s perhaps not surprising that it has a similar effect as an insulation material as it does on the body of the well-being of the sheep.
