Natural sheep wool insulation
The need to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint has never been greater. Black Mountain sheep's wool insulation provides a high performance and truly sustainable solution to both consumption of energy and the effects of climate change.
Wool is not only a better insulator but it actual generates heat when it absorbs moisture. This natural wool insulation is designed to be used in new and existing buildings. It’s ideal for lofts, rafter, internal wall and inter-floor use.
Sheep's Wool insulation is much safer for several reasons:
- Safe for the environment requires only 15% of the energy to produce
- Locks up CO2, in fact 6 kgs/m2.
- Biodegradable, requiring no land fill.
- No protective clothing or breathing masks are required
- Wool provides lanolin widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical cream
- Wool isn't vulnerable to humidity or dampness that encourages the growth of mould
- it’s a natural fire retardant.
Wool also has unique properties:
- It absorbs and releases moisture with no impact on thermal performance
- Wool absorbs and locks up toxic gases emitted by many building materials permanently
- Natural sheep's wool offers improved thermal and acoustic ratings over most man-made materials
- Wool fibre evolved over thousands of years to be the most technically advanced insulation material
- It's an ideal material for breathable walls.
