Product catalog summary
Overview
Black Mountain Sheep Wool Insulation is a natural fiber insulation product with a thermal conductivity of 0.039 W/m².K. It is suitable for use in loft spaces, suspended floors, partitioning walls, and timber frame structures.
Key Features
  • Thermal Efficiency: Offers excellent thermal insulation with a thermal conductivity of 0.039 W/m².K.
  • Moisture Management: Can absorb and manage over 35% moisture without affecting performance, reducing the risk of damp and mold.
  • VOC Absorption: Capable of absorbing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from building materials, improving indoor air quality.
  • Fire Resistance: Achieves a Euro Class E fire performance rating, indicating fire resistance.
Environmental Impact
  • Uses only 10% of the energy required to manufacture compared to some man-made insulations.
  • Biodegradable at the end of its life cycle, unlike man-made mineral fiber insulations.

Sheep Wool Technical Sheet-1

Black Mountain Sheep wool Insulation Technical Data Sheep wool insulation is a natural fibre material with a thermal conductivity of 0.039W/m².K. This product is suitable for loft space, Technical Sheet suspended floors, partitioning walls and timber frame structures. Sheep wool has the ability to help manage moisture levels which minimises the risk of damp and mould. Completely natural and safe to install without protective clothing, natural wool fibre insulation will notably improve indoor air quality by allowing the structure to breathe. Insulating with sheep wool will significantly reduce heat loss, lowering energy costs and increasing internal comfort. Natural fibres are also highly resilient and durable ensuring that the product will likely span the entire life of the building. Sheep wool has a unique ability to absorb VOC* gases which can be found in various man-made building materials. VOC: volatile organic compounds
