Benefits of Wool

Natural

Wool is nature’s miracle fibre. Individual wool fibres have hollow spaces or medulla, which decreases thermal conductivity and gives it outstanding insulation performance. The wool fibre has a natural crimp or “springiness” which gives it natural loft and ability to entrap air which makes it the perfect natural insulator.

Healthy Option

Wool is a protein fibre similar in structure to human hair. It is biodegradable and non-toxic. Wool insulation is the preferred option for people who suffer allergies. Unlike fibreglass products, wool will not release small fragments of fibre into the air which can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people. Wool does not produce toxic fumes and unlike fibreglass, wool can easily be installed without any special safety equipment.

The natural air-conditioner

Wool has the unique ability to moderate the humidity inside your home. When the external temperature drops and the amount of moisture in the air increases, wool absorbs this increase keeping the indoor environment stable and comfortable. In summer wool helps to create a cooler, pleasant living environment.

Absorbs Toxin

Wool acts as a natural filter. It also has the ability to absorb formaldehyde and other indoor air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide (which come from gas appliances) thus providing a clean and healthy indoor air environment for your home.

Environmentally Friendly

Wool is a renewable and sustainable natural resource which is biodegradable, and New Zealand grows the best wool in the world. Most of our wool insulation products can be recycled and some of them have already been recycled, so it is the perfect green solution for home insulation needs.

Sound Absorbent

Our natural wool products possess excellent sound absorbing qualities effectively reducing noise transmission from within and outside of your building.
