Beautiful timber flooring along with our 100% Pure SheepWool Optimal insulation

by

This is a gorgeous install of our 100% pure SheepWool Optimal insulation in a floor application. You can see how easy it is to lay these rolls between the joists, and the Optimal – being medium density – is really easy to cut to fit, no matter what the joist width.  The customer here also used our ‘SilentJoist’ again, 100% pure wool and this is really the natural and effective way to reduce structureborne sound transmission caused by contact between joists and floor / subfloors and is suitable for use with underfloor heating (as is the insulation also). Silentjoist is ideal for use, when you are then laying timber flooring directly on top of the joists. This beautiful job was done by https://the-sandman.co.uk/

1800’s cottage renovation

by

We moved into our new home in April 2023 and knew it needed bringing up to more modern standards so were advised to update the loft insulation as a matter of urgency. It’s an early 1800s cottage so the use of natural and breathable materials was high on our priority list so we did a lot of research for products to use and the Isolena brand was repeatedly recommended by a number of surveyors and renovation specialists.

 

The attic space was not a nice place to spend a few days – hunched over wearing full PPE (hazmat suits, respirators, goggles and gloves) to remove the old fibreglass insulation, rat nests and poo, rubble, straw, water tanks and more! The house had been re-roofed in the 80s so there was a lot to take out and we ended up with over 100kg of rubble and over 80 sacks of smelly insulation! The lath and plaster ceilings needed a lot of vacuuming so our two day job took us nearly a week.

 

Once everything was out we were able to leave the loft to breathe for a few (cold) days before we stuffed all the fluffy new sheep wool through the tiny hatch and began the enjoyable job of laying the new insulation. The relief at not having to wear as much PPE was lovely, we could breathe freely and handle the wool without skin irritation. Being so easy to cut with scissors also made it a much quicker process when filling in small spaces. Since we finished we’ve finally been able to put the heating back on and have noticed a significant increase in the temperature inside the house. We have lot more work to do elsewhere to insulate the property but the sheep wool is already making an impact and we will certainly be using it again when it comes to other areas in our house.

 

Delivery was speedy and we were able to arrange a specific date which makes such a difference when space is a bit limited with other ongoing jobs. Comfort

 

Customer Testimonials

January 2021, – a great start to the year, and another happy customer… sent us the image above, and this is what they had to say…

We wanted to drop you a line to let you know that last Thursday the installers fitted the sheep wool in our loft, 

We love it and the installation couldn’t have been timed better with these freezing temperatures.

Thanks a lot and we’ll definitely recommend your materials and services.

Happy Irish Customer :

Thank You for your  clear description of your Sheepwool Insulation , calculation of appropriate number of rolls ,  support in a swift delivery to County Cork, and Support on the day of installation via phone.

The insulation has completely changed the climate of the rooms. There was no problem with installation despite a very small access space . The beautifull composition of the product was a joy to work with and did not trigger any allergic reaction – I would highly recommend this product for the above reasons – Happy customer from County Cork

 

Happy UK homeowner : No such worry of having to wear masks etc to fit it. I have really enjoyed installing it in my place .

 

 

 

Wool insulation for Sloping Rafters and Ceilings

by

Insulating between sloping rafters and ceilings is so simple with our Premium and Optimal insulation. Both are high density so ideal for these areas. Our 100% Pure SheepWool Insulation is really safe and easy to handle and install in these tricky areas also.
Premium insulation rolls come in 150mm and 200mm thickness, and these high density, rolls are ideal for high insulation performance. Optimal insulation rolls available in 50mm,75mm, 100mm and 140mm, and  have a ‘felt backing’ giving a smoother install and finish.

Insulation for Attic Floor

Comfort Insulation rolls are ideal for Attic floor.
These are lower density, high performing rolls and can be laid down simply between and across joists to achieve maximum performance, ensuring that all heat generated downstairs, stays in the home, keeping you snug and warm during those cold winter evenings, as well as cooler in those summer months.
