An Intro to Using Sheep’s Wool as an Insulator | Koala Insulation of N
By now you are probably well-versed in all of our traditional insulation materials. While we love and rely on batt, spray foam and blown-in insulation for many of our customers, we are constantly looking for new ways to innovate and bring you different insulation materials based on your home’s needs. We recently completed an insulation project for a homeowner in our community with sheep’s wool insulation! We are proud to bring new options like this to our community.
Check out more about sheep wool insulation below to see if this material is right for you.
Sheep Wool and Air Quality We all know that insulation can improve the air quality in your home by reducing the amount of dust and allergens in the air. Sheep wool can do all that and more!
Wool insulation can pull dust particles from the air that could contain toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide. The amino acids in the wool pull these chemicals out and bond to them, effectively trapping them.
Sheep wool insulation also offers traditional air quality control benefits by blocking dust and allergens from making their way into your home. If you have a sensitive person in your household or someone with respiratory issues, this material may be a great option for you!
Sheep Wool and Moisture Control
No home can function properly if humidity and moisture levels are too high. Wool fibers are incredibly effective at managing moisture levels and controlling humidity.
In addition, wool is considered a natural keratin, which does not support mold growth of any kind. This is unique to some of our insulation materials as blown-in and batt insulation can become compromised and moldy when they get wet.
Sound Absorption and the Impact on the Environment
Another benefit of using sheep wool insulation is its ability to cut down on excess noise transfer throughout your home. It can convert sound energy to heat, which can directly reduce airborne sound and sound transmission.
Are you convinced yet? In addition to all of these great benefits, sheep wool insulation is incredibly eco-friendly because it is a natural source of insulation! The insulation material we used is only sourced from reliable sources and uses premier wool fibers from a specific breed of sheep. Step into the future with us!
