WOOL INSULATION

  • Filters air and improves indoor air quality – harmful chemicals are in your walls. The amino acids in wool irreversibly bond with formaldehyde, NOₓ and SO2 on a molecular level.

  • Moisture and climate control – moisture and mold happens in your walls. Wool absorbs and adsorbs it against 65% relative humidity.

  • Suppresses mold and mildew – natural keratin prevents against the spread of mold and mildew.

  • Absorbs sound – wool exceeds other forms of insulation as an acoustic buffer.

  • Thermal conductivity – wool batts are industry standard at 3.6 per inch; loose-fill outperforms at 4.3 per inch.

  • Resists fire – wool will not support a flame below 1100F; conforms to Class A of the ASTM E84 test.

  • All natural – wool insulation is entirely renewable and sustainable.

  • Long lasting – inherent characteristics allow stated R-values to exceed other forms of insulation.

  • No off-gassing – natural characteristics make our insulation devoid of harmful chemicals.

  • Installs easily – blow-in and batts are installed like other mediums but with no protection required.

HIGH R-VALUE

Wool’s natural structure make it incredibly effective as an insulator. Each fiber of sheep wool is composed of protein molecules (keratin) organized into five follicles. These fibers effectively trap air, moisture and harmful chemicals. Using wool as insulation actually helps keep your van warm in the winter and cool in the summer, while improving indoor air quality.

R-value denotes resistance to heat flow. The higher an insulation’s R-value, the greater its insulating power. Sheep wool insulation R-value equals or often surpasses that of other insulation materials. Havelock Wool offers both wool batt and blow-in insulation. The R-values of each product are 3.6 per-inch and 4.3 per-inch respectively.
