A short guide to sheep wool insulation

Wool insulation is made from Sheep wool fibres which are either bonded using recycled polyester or are mechanically held together to form rolls, ropes and batts.

Thermal Conductivity of sheep wool insulation is between 0.035-0.4 W/mK which makes sheep wool a better insulator. Sheep wool insulation can be used throughout the entire house from loft, floors, external walls and internal walls.
