Why Should I Use Wool?
For thousands of years sheep have been able to adapt to extreme environments, such as wool protects them through hot, cold seasons, wet and dry. At this time, man has also used wool for this property very protective and the many benefits offered by the material. Due to its nature as pressing where the wool fibers are crowded together, form millions of tiny air bubbles that trap air, and in turn serves to keep warm in winter and summer.
Unique advantage of wool is its breathability. It is its ability to absorb and release moisture in the air without sacrificing thermal efficiency. When wool fibers absorb moisture, they generate small amounts of heat. This heat acts to prevent condensation in construction cavities by maintaining the temperature above the dew point of humid conditions. This feature creates a natural buffer, stabilizing changes that occur in the heat with humidity. Practically, it reduces the need to continue to adjust the heating or cooling wool insulation levels will keep buildings cooler during the day and warm at night.
Curly wool fibers also gives strength to the product produced particularly good. This means that the wool insulation will keep its thickness, an important contribution to the effectiveness of the insulation. Because wool contains moisture, is resistant to fire off when the flame source is removed. It is also a very effective sound insulation and structureborne air, which reduces noise heard in a building.
It is made from a natural fiber insulation wool requires less than 15% of the energy needed to produce the fiberglass insulation. That can absorb and break down contaminants in indoor air like formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Wool is a sustainable and renewable, that does not contain ozone depleting potential and end of life can be recycled or biodegradable. Sheep wool insulation is safe and easy to handle without protective clothing or special breathing equipment necessary to install it.
Highlights:
Tangible benefits
Wool is a natural, renewable and sustainable
Sheep wool insulation is completely safe to use and requires no specialized clothing or protective equipment, so it is easy to install
It causes no irritation to eyes, skin or lungs and wool is not harmful to your health
The wool fibers are breathable, which means they can absorb and release moisture without reducing thermal performance, as opposed to fiberglass-based products
Lana does not support combustion and shut down in case of fire
Sheep wool insulation will not install due to the high elasticity of wool and avoiding loss of performance over time
Energy Saving
Wool is designed by nature to save energy
Sheep wool insulation also requires a fraction of the energy to produce than their human counterparts
This means that the sheep's wool insulation will pay back its energy costs by more than 5 times before (only 15 kilowatts of energy used to produce 1 m³)
Performance Advantages
Wool has a higher fire resistance than cellulose and cellular plastic insulation
Do not burn, but it singes away from fire and off (from a very high point of 560 ° C inflammation, due to its high nitrogen content of about 16%) of the Villa is self-extinguishing, due to its high limiting oxygen index (LOI = 25.2), which means completely burned in oxygen content of 25.2%, while the necessary air is only 21%
Wool fibers are hygroscopic in nature, can absorb up to 35% of its weight, depending on the humidity of the surrounding atmosphere, helping to preserve the surrounding trees.
While absorbing this moisture, wool releases energy as heat, raising the temperature of its surroundings. Naturally releasing this moisture in the warmer seasons, wool creates a cooling effect in the same environment.
Rolls of insulation wool of the sheep was produced with the standard width requirements - saves time during assembly
Several layers of wool to effectively reduce airborne sound transmission
