They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug. The wool is coarse and wiry, but by combining it with another Lake District wool, the softer Texel, we can at last bring you these artisan rugs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis wool rug is beautiful, but is it also functional?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you only just met us? Of course it’s functional too! As you may know, we live and breathe draught-proofing and a rug can be a really great way of draught-proofing your floor. If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Wool gap filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/door-window-draught-excluders\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Draught Excluder collections\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep draught excluder\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, and\u003ca title=\"Door and window draught excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/door-window-draught-excluders\"\u003e door and window draught excluders.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have its' day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment.

As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour.

Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWe leave the wool undyed.

Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, if you’ve already got a carpet down, you may not have any issues with draughts coming through your floorboards, in which case you can enjoy the beauty and tactility of our T’yan Wool Rug (which in our opinion, is pretty special in itself).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Cotton Door Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape for Doors and Windows\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have its day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment. The multiple grey hues of the undyed Herdwick wool have a natural beauty and make each rug so unique and versatile to suit many interior styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the benefits of having wool in the home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is a fantastic material to have in your home with a whole range of naturally occurring properties and a rug is a great way to include wool in your home in a stylish way! Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

This process is natural. To do this, farmers go back to the ‘old fashioned’ way of doing things by using natural systems and cycles to help grow crops. This includes crop rotation, green manures, no-till methods and composting. All of this makes the soil healthy which leads to better crop harvests without the need for harsh and potentially harmful chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-organic cotton farming relies on synthetic chemicals to grow such as nitrogen fertilisers and artificial pesticides, many of which are fossil-fuel based (and we all know what they do to the environment…). Removing these chemical inputs not only reduces the use of fossil fuels but also means that biodiversity can improve. This results in more bugs, bees, birds and worms!

They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique.

If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, if you’ve already got a carpet down, you may not have any issues with draughts coming through your floorboards, in which case you can enjoy the beauty and tactility of our T’yan Wool Rug (which in our opinion, is pretty special in itself).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluder\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Organic Cotton Door Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape for Doors and Windows\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have also made the conscious decision to leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment. Plus, the multiple grey hues of the Herdwick wool makes each rug so unique and versatile to suit many interior styles. The undyed wool has a real beauty to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the benefits of having wool in the home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is a fantastic material to have in your home with a whole range of naturally occurring properties and a rug is a great way to include wool in your home in a stylish way! Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

Not only is that good for your home but it is also sustainable and more environmentally friendly too.  You can read about how we source our wool \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/pages\/operation-wool\" title=\"Operation Wool\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur rugs are rather special as each one is hand-woven on an old-fashioned wooden loom. The yarn used is made by spinning together wool from two breeds of sheep. The smiley Herdwick sheep and the frowny Texel sheep. They are two different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug. The wool is coarse and wiry, but by combining it with another Lake District wool, the softer Texel, we can at last bring you these artisan rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis wool rug is beautiful, but is it also functional?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you only just met us? Of course it’s functional too! As you may know, we live and breathe draught-proofing and a rug can be a really great way of draught-proofing your floor. If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluders\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Organic Cotton Door Draught Excluders\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape for Doors and Windows\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment.

Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

The air vent is there to provide enough oxygen for your appliances when they are burning fuel. If they don’t get enough oxygen they produce carbon monoxide which is a killer. So the air vent is pretty useful when you’ve got a fire lit. But what about all the rest of the time, when the fire isn’t lit and there’s still a howling gale blowing through? Wouldn’t it be great to have something that restricted the air flow and prevented those annoying draughts? Ta daaa! We introduce the DR21, invented by David Gattie, a stove fitter with customers putting just such a complaint to him on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is easily fitted onto the outside wall in place of the existing vent. There are no moving parts, just a clever design inside that zigzags the air, slowing it down, so it doesn’t rush in through the vent. If a greater amount of air is needed because the appliance is burning, the air can come in as fast as it likes, and if the appliance isn’t lit the air will just trickle in giving you just the amount of ventilation you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the DR21 air vent cover work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard louvered vent basically lets air blow straight through the wall. The DR21 disrupts the airflow so that it can’t just blow straight in. However as soon as you light your fire and need more air for it to burn efficiently, the air will travel through the DR21 more quickly. Have a look at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/174139391\" title=\"DR21 video\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethis video\u003c\/a\u003e for a demonstration on how it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do you fit the DR21 air vent cover?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there’s already a hole drilled through with a louvred vent fitted, it’s really easy.

It is the reaction of oxygen with fuel that creates heat. Just as we need air to breathe and generate our own energy, so too does fire. And it needs a surprising amount of air in order to do this. Air contains just 20% oxygen so a lot of air is needed to supply what’s required. Older houses were built with little insulation and ill fitting windows, so basically had vents as part of the fabric of the structure. As buildings have become more air tight, or as insulation measures have been retro-fitted, it’s very important to make sure that all appliances that burn have a good enough air supply. If a fire doesn’t get a good enough supply of air it won’t burn properly and will produce carbon monoxide.

When wool fibres are packed together, they form millions of tiny air pockets which trap air. This keeps buildings warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool insulation works just as well as manmade insulation products but is more sustainable and better for the environment, requiring less than 15% of the energy needed to produce glass fibre insulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity regulating\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is hygroscopic so it will readily absorb water from the air. It can absorb up to 35% of its own weight from the surrounding atmosphere depending on the humidity, without feeling damp. If you have a damp home, the wool can help absorb moisture then wick it away when there’s enough airflow to dry it out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool insulation is a very effective airborne and structure-borne acoustic insulation due to the multiple layered wool fibres. This significantly reduces noises that can be heard throughout a building.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is hypoallergenic as it is resistant to bacteria, mould and mildew that can trigger allergic reactions in many people. Our insulation causes no irritation to the eyes, skin or lungs and wool fibres present no hazard to your health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorbs high volatile compounds (VOCs)\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is able to absorb and break down indoor air pollutants, such as formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, making air cleaner and safer. VOCs are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture and things that have been varnished or painted. The VOCs bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

Think of it like a nice feather duvet, that keeps you snug and warm but still permits moisture and air to percolate through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally fire retardant\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool does not support combustion and it will extinguish itself in the event of fire. In fact, 100% wool insulation has a higher fire resistance than cellulose and cellular plastic insulation. Wool does not burn, but instead singes away from fire and extinguishes (wool has a very high inflammation point of 560°C due to its high Nitrogen content of ~16%). The fibres are self-extinguishing because of their 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%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow else can I make my home feel warmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraught proofing is one of the most effective ways of helping to keep your home warm.

Here are a few reasons why wool works for building insulation:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e - sheep wool acts as a brilliant heat insulation product because of the wool's crimped structure. When wool fibres are packed together, they form millions of tiny air pockets which trap air. This keeps buildings warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool insulation works just as well as manmade insulation products but is more sustainable and better for the environment, requiring less than 15% of the energy needed to produce glass fibre insulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity regulating\u003c\/strong\u003e - wool is hygroscopic so it will readily absorb water from the air. It can absorb up to 35% of its own weight from the surrounding atmosphere depending on the humidity, without feeling damp. If you have a damp home, the wool can help absorb moisture then wick it away when there’s enough airflow to dry it out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e - wool insulation is a very effective airborne and structure borne acoustic insulation due to the multiple layered wool fibres. This significantly reduces noises that can be heard throughout a building.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/strong\u003e - wool is hypoallergenic as it is resistant to bacteria, mould and mildew that can trigger allergic reactions in many people. Our insulation causes no irritation to the eyes, skin or lungs and wool fibres present no hazard to your health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorbs high volatile compounds (VOCs)\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is able to absorb and break down indoor air pollutants, such as formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, making air cleaner and safer. VOC’s are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture and things that have been varnished or painted. The VOC's bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre. You can read more about it \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/301290707_Sheep_wool_insulation_for_the_absorption_of_volatile_organic_compounds\" title=\"Study on sheep wool insulation for the absorption of volatile organic compounds\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere. \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally breathable\u003c\/strong\u003e - wool is naturally breathable, allowing air and moisture to move and circulate in a space (purifying air that moves through the wool), whilst still insulating and keeping your home warm. Think of it like a nice feather duvet, that keeps you snug and warm but still permits moisture and air to percolate through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally fire retardant\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool does not support combustion and it will extinguish itself in the event of fire. In fact, 100% wool insulation has a higher fire resistance than cellulose and cellular plastic insulation. Wool does not burn, but instead singes away from fire and extinguishes (wool has a very high inflammation point of 560°C due to its high Nitrogen content of ~16%). The fibres are 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%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features of Sheep Wool Insulation Premium Rolls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all sheep wool insulation is made equal and ours is pretty special!

Using wool is beneficial because it is a much more environmentally friendly way to insulate yet works just as effectively as manmade insulation. Wool is a renewable source (as long as there are sheep grazing, there will be sheep that need to be sheared for their wellbeing!) and it is also completely compostable. When the insulation comes to the end of its long life and disposed of, it can be put in compost where it will decompose pretty quickly and release some valuable nutrients into the ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic free\u003c\/strong\u003e - many other sheep wool insulations on the market have around 25% of plastic additives added to give it “loft” and make it perform effectively as insulation. To ensure our 100% wool insulation remains “lofty” the wool is carded (combed), so all of the fibres are running in the same direction. This extremely thin layer of carded wool fibres is then layered numerous times to give the end product its desired thickness. These layers are mechanically bonded to produce a thick, strong roll of insulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParasite protected\u003c\/strong\u003e - the insulation is treated with IONIC PROTECT®. This is exactly the same treatment as we use on our Chimney Sheep® draught excluders! It is a really clever technology which causes a slight alteration of the ionic charge of the wool fibre through a plasma-ion treatment. This means that moths don’t even recognise it as wool and fly on by! Other moth deterrents rely on the moth larvae eating a little bit of the product in order to be poisoned by the treatment – this means a little bit of it deteriorates each time a moth larvae chews on it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy efficient\u003c\/strong\u003e - wool is designed by nature to save energy. Our Sheep Wool Insulation requires only a fraction of the energy to produce compared to that of manmade 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).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to install\u003c\/strong\u003e – our Sheep Wool Insulation is safe and easy to install. It fits around shapes and joists easily and comes in a variety of product types and sizes. All our insulation products are made to roll widths that fit standard joist gaps generally - 400mm and 600mm. It is available in rolls that are 380mm and 570mm wide respectively. You can fit it anywhere – from external or internal walls, under timber or concrete floors to the attic\/loft or between the rafters. If you want to make existing attic\/loft insulation more effective, you can roll out Sheep Wool Insulation over the existing insulation rather than having to remove it. This can also be safer than removing hazardous material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation instructions (loft, ceilings and floors)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure the area is clean and dust-free.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnroll the insulation between the joists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut to the appropriate length either by tearing is using your hands or using a decent pair of scissors.

They roam the fells (Cumbrian for “mountain”) all year round, popping down to get shorn once a year. This is an opportunity for the farmer to check the sheep’s health as they can look chubby and well with all the wool on but once “clipped” the shepherd can see properly whether they’re in peak condition or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool is stuffed into bags that we provide. We buy direct from the farmers so we can guarantee a fair rate for the wool. We take all types of wool so long as it is Herdwick – if it goes to the auction every fleece is graded which adds to the cost which takes away from the farmer’s profit. Once we’ve collected it all up, it goes to Yorkshire to get washed and baled, then shipped to Austria where it is made into wool felt according to our specification. It is moth-proofed during this process. This is a chemical-free moth proofing treatment that is patent protected and only available in the one place. They invented it and they deserve the credit for it. We’re often asked if we can figure out how it’s done and do it here. No! It’s not as simple as it looks, it takes skill and know-how and I wouldn’t want anyone to steal my ideas so why should we steal theirs? No! So that’s why it has to go to Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen it comes back as lovely felt. One type we use for our Chimney Sheep®, and this type we have made specially as a moth proof pure wool underlay. It will last for decades. It will help to draught-proof your floorboards and will give a lovely bounce with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is so special about pure wool underlay?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is very durable, and is selected for pubs, hotels, cruise ships and the like because it can cope with more heavy traffic than synthetic carpets and underlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is sustainable – it is grown naturally by sheep which have to be shorn for welfare reasons. Sadly, wool is virtually a waste product these days. It’s the processing that makes it so expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool also has other remarkable properties. It’s hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb a lot of moisture without feeling damp. When the air is dry, it will wick the moisture away. This way it helps to regulate the moisture in your home, helping to regulate the atmosphere. Even more remarkable, I think, is wool’s ability to absorb high volatile compounds (VOCs). These are in everyday household items like varnish on your furniture, paint, nail varnish and nail varnish remover, some cleaning products…. all of these enter the home environment and can cause health problems. The VOCs bind with the wool fibres and are locked in permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chimney Sheep","offers":[{"title":"1 Linear Metre","offer_id":48035412082994,"sku":"HWU001-02","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490019194,"sku":"HWU001-04","price":56.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490051962,"sku":"HWU001-05","price":84.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490084730,"sku":"HWU001-06","price":112.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490117498,"sku":"HWU001-07","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490150266,"sku":"HWU001-08","price":168.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490183034,"sku":"HWU001-09","price":196.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490215802,"sku":"HWU001-10","price":224.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490248570,"sku":"HWU001-11","price":252.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Linear Metres","offer_id":55844490281338,"sku":"HWU001-12","price":280.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full 12.5m Roll","offer_id":48035412050226,"sku":"HWU001-01","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7322\/5010\/files\/SheepFellRoll12048.jpg?v=1710846580"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7322\/5010\/collections\/CS_Categoryshots_15.jpg?v=1695112310","url":"https:\/\/chimneysheep.co.uk\/collections\/home-energy-efficiency.oembed?page=4","provider":"Chimney Sheep","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
