Our thermal sheep wool insulation are sold in packs of two or three rolls, designed to cover large areas. We often get asked by our customers if they can have ‘just a bit’ or a ‘small roll’ to use for various, smaller insulating projects. That is why we have added these nifty smaller bits of insulation to our range.
Sheep Wool Insulation is an effective and sustainable way to insulate your home and can be used as thermal insulation and sound insulation. The insulation products in the range can be used as wall insulation, loft insulation, roof insulation, floor insulation and underlay. Our insulation is made of 100% wool and contains no plastic additives. Instead, the wool is uniquely layered during its manufacture to ensure the insulation remains ‘lofty’ over the lifetime of the product. All of our insulation is treated with Ionic Protect® to ensure it is 100% resistant to moth infestations.
Sheep wool insulation is a more environmentally friendly insulation than mineral rock wool insulation or foam board insulation. his is because sheep wool is a renewable resource and when eventually disposed of the wool insulation can be composted down.
Wool is a fantastic natural insulation! Not only does act as a thermal and sound insulation but it also has a whole host of other benefits for your home:
Whatever you need your insulation for and wherever you intend to use it in your property, our Sheep Wool Insulation range will have something suitable to ensure you can insulate your property sustainably! Due to its breathability, Sheep Wool Insulation is particularly good for older properties. Take a look at our house graphic to see which insulation product is most suitable for your project.
