What is Sheep's Wools Insulation?
Sheep wool insulation is a natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly premium insulation material made from the wool of sheep. It is used to insulate homes in Scotland, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by reducing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
Sheeps wool insulation is a premium home insulation product that is especially ideal for homes in Northern Scotland such as Inverness, Highland, Moray and Caithness.
All of the sheeps wool insulation our partner installers install is ThermaFleece sheeps wool, from their wide range of products including CosyWool, CosyWool Slab and UltraWool.
On this page you will find out more about sheeps wool insulation including the different types you can choose from the benefits of each one.
How does Sheeps Wool Insulation Work?
Sheep's Wool Insulation Installation
Batts and Rolls:
Sheep’s wool insulation is typically available in batts or rolls, which can be easily cut to size and fitted between wall studs, rafters, or joists.
Loose-Fill:
It can also be installed as loose-fill insulation, which is blown into cavities, making it ideal for retrofitting existing buildings or filling irregular spaces.
Benefits Of Sheeps Wool Insulation
Sheeps wool insulation offers a range of benefits that make it an attractive choice for homes in Scotland. Here are the key benefits of installing sheeps wool insulation:
Energy Efficiency: Sheep wool’s natural crimped fibres create air pockets that trap air, providing excellent thermal insulation. This helps maintain a stable indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating in the winter and cooling in the summer, which can lower energy bills.
Hygroscopic Properties: Sheeps wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, helping to regulate humidity levels inside a building. This prevents condensation and reduces the risk of mould and mildew, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
Renewable Resource: Sheeps wool is a natural, renewable resource, as sheep are sheared annually, and their wool regrows. Using wool insulation reduces the reliance on synthetic, non-renewable materials, supporting sustainable practices.
Biodegradable: At the end of its life, sheep wool insulation is fully biodegradable, minimising environmental impact compared to synthetic alternatives.
Non-Toxic: Sheep wool is a natural material that does not contain harmful chemicals or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This makes it a safer choice for indoor air quality and overall health, especially for those with allergies or sensitivities.
Air Purification: Wool fibers can absorb and neutralise harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, helping to purify indoor air.
Noise Reduction: The dense structure of wool fibres makes it an effective sound insulator, absorbing and dampening sound waves. This makes sheep wool insulation ideal for reducing noise from outside or between rooms.
Resilience: Wool is naturally resilient and can retain its shape and effectiveness over time without settling or compacting, unlike some other insulation materials. This ensures long-term performance and durability.
Pest Resistance: Sheep wool is naturally resistant to pests, such as insects and rodents, particularly when treated with non-toxic agents. This reduces the need for additional pest control measures.
Flexible and Safe to Handle: Sheep wool insulation is easy to cut and fit into place, making it suitable for various applications, including walls, roofs, and floors. Unlike fiberglass insulation, it does not cause skin irritation, making it safer and more comfortable to work with.
Suitable for Various Applications: Sheeps wool insulation can be used in different parts of a building, including walls, roofs, lofts, and floors. It can be installed as batts, rolls, or loose-fill, making it adaptable to various construction and renovation projects.
Low Carbon Footprint: The production and processing of sheep wool insulation have a relatively low carbon footprint, especially compared to synthetic insulation materials. Using wool insulation supports sustainable agriculture and helps reduce the overall environmental impact of building construction.
CosyWool Sheeps Wool Insulation
Thermafleece CosyWool Roll, crafted from British sheep’s wool, is an ideal insulation solution for floors and lofts. Its design makes it easy to install between and over joists, providing both thermal and acoustic benefits.
Key Features:
Durability and Performance:
Made with a wool rich blend of fibres, the insulation is thermally bonded to ensure maximum durability and prevent slumping over time. A small percentage of recycled polyester fibres is added to enhance resource efficiency and maintain exceptional breathability.
Natural Benefits of Wool:
Wool is a remarkable natural fibre that not only insulates but also improves indoor air quality. As sheep’s fleece grows, it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When used as insulation, wool binds and neutralises harmful airborne chemicals, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
Energy Efficiency:
Insulating with Thermafleece CosyWool Roll is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption and lower heating costs, making it a sustainable choice for your building.
Compressed Form:
Thermafleece CosyWool Roll is delivered in a compressed form, reducing transport impacts by up to 50% compared to other natural fibre insulation. This also makes it quick and easy to install.
Regains Thickness:
Once unpacked, the rolls expand to their original thickness, ensuring excellent thermal and acoustic performance.
Vapour Open and Breathable:
The insulation is both vapour open and breathable, allowing it to buffer moisture during periods of high humidity, contributing to a comfortable and healthy living environment.
UltraWool Sheeps Wool Insulation
ThermaFleece UltraWool is a premium, high density insulation product designed to deliver maximum thermal efficiency in spaces where every inch counts.
Wool Rich Composition:
Made from a blend of wool-rich fibres, ThermaFleece UltraWool is thermally bonded to ensure exceptional durability and prevent slumping over time. A small amount of recycled polyester fibers is incorporated to enhance breathability, resource efficiency, and overall performance.
Environmental Impact:
Wool is a remarkable natural fiber that actively removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it grows. When used as insulation, it binds and neutralizes harmful airborne chemicals, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
