NATURAL INSULATION

Condensation Control Building Towards a Brighter Future Condensation is one of the biggest challenges facing the building industry today. Excess moisture can not only have a detrimental effect on the structure of a building but it is also a root cause of mould which can have an adverse affect on the welfare of its inhabitants. Black Mountain has a factory dedicated to manufacturing natural insulation products. The factory requires minimal energy to operate and is one of the most modern in Europe. Our NatuWool insulation has over 90% wool content, providing high performance and maximum benefit...

Indoor Air Quality Black Mountain NatuWool has a unique ability to absorb noxious gases emitted from some building products e.g. formaldehyde; a carcinogenic gas emitted from various man-made building materials.

A lack of ‘breathability’ in buildings can cause various problems, including health issues as a result of damp and mould. The term ‘breathable wall’ refers to a structure’s ability to manage internal moisture levels, providing a more comfortable internal environment. Durability and Longevity...
