Who is Sheep Wool for?

Who is Sheep Wool Insulation for?

Home owners

Insulating your home properly will reduce heat loss and cut your heating bills. Sheep’s wool is nature’s most effective insulator, and here are five of its key benefits…

1. It's safe

Unlike many other insulation products, Sheep Wool Insulation is totally safe and allergy-free. It is not irritating or itchy to the skin, eyes or respiratory system, so you won’t have any health concerns. Sheep Wool Insulation does not support combustion and it will extinguish itself in the event of fire.

2. It's eco-friendly

Sheep Wool Insulation is made from 100% pure wool and is the environmentally friendly, green way to insulate. It is a sustainable and renewable resource, reducing your carbon footprint.

3. It's efficient

Sheep’s wool is very energy-efficient compared with other insulation materials on the market. Sheep Wool Insulation acts as a buffer between the cold damp weather outside and the warm dry environment inside your home. As wool is breathable, it absorbs moisture to keep you house warm during winter, and releases moisture in summer to keep your house cool.

4. It's easy to install

Because the wool is natural, it is safe to handle and does not require special equipment or safety clothing. Sheep Wool Insulation fits around shapes and joists easily and comes in a variety of product types and sizes. 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.

5. It saves you money

Sheep Wool Insulation and other energy-efficient products are a great long-term investment because green buildings make increasingly good economic sense. Major international studies such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' "Green Value" report have found clear links between green buildings and their market value. So Sheep Wool Insulation doesn't just save you money by reducing your heating bills and cutting the running costs of your home. It also increases your energy rating and adds value to your property.

Builders

Sheep Wool Insulation is totally natural, environmentally friendly, and quick and easy to install. It has many advantages for builders – and plenty of indirect benefits too. Here are some of the reasons why you should make Sheep Wool Insulation a key part of your plans for a highly energy-efficient building.

1. It adds value

Sheep Wool Insulation makes sound economic sense because it immediately adds value to your development. Major international studies such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' "Green Value" report show clear links between green buildings and their market value. Wool insulation and other eco-friendly products appeal to the growing numbers of home owners and buyers looking for green buildings with an excellent energy rating.

2. It's safe

Because the wool is natural, Sheep Wool Insulation is perfectly safe to handle. Unlike many other insulation products, you don't need special equipment or safety clothing to install it. That means a faster, hazard-free installation – and lower construction costs. Sheep Wool Insulation is quick and easy to work with, following the shape of the rafters, studs and joists for a tight fit. Sheep Wool Insulation is also ideal for refurbishments and restoration projects. You can roll it over the existing insulation instead of having to remove it. This is quicker and much safer than removing hazardous material, minimising health and safety risks on site.

Wool and moisture

Wool fibres are hygroscopic, absorbing and releasing moisture without reducing thermal performance. The fibres are breathable, with a moisture weight content of up to 35%, depending on the relative humidity of the surroundings. While absorbing this moisture, the wool releases energy in the form of heat, raising the temperature of surrounding areas. In warmer weather the process is reversed – as the wool releases this moisture it creates a cooling effec
