Why Wool?
How Does Havelock Wool Improve Air Quality?
As the quality of building materials declines, an increasing amount of chemicals and glues are used to reduce costs to attract consumers’s attention. These chemicals and glues are the major source of harmful substances like formaldehyde, SO₂, and NOₓ
What is the Environmental Impact of Havelock Wool?
Havelock Wool is a truly sustainable building material, from its production to the end of its life. Our overall carbon emissions stack up extremely favorably compared to any other insulation material. It’s easy to understand, as our raw material is n
How Does Havelock Wool Absorb Sound?
Havelock Wool is not only a great insulator but it excels at absorbing sound.A Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is a rating for how much sound a material absorbs. Like a sponge absorbs water, insulation absorbs sound and the NRC tells us just how mu
Why Is Wool the Ultimate Moisture Manager?
In the form of vapor, condensation, or water, moisture will inevitably make its way into your walls. You need an insulation that actively manages that moisture, helping keep your house dry and free of mold and mildew. Unlike any other insulation, woo
What does moisture management mean?
Simply put: to temporarily absorb excess moisture and then release it back into space when conditions change. Moisture in a cavity is inevitable, even an airtight one, given the simple properties of condensation and vapor drive. Taking its presence a
Do other insulations manage moisture?
NO! Cotton absorbs water and is treated with chemicals to be temporarily hydrophobic. Fiberglass acts like a sponge and then turns into a moldy science project gone bad. Cellulose is paper, attracts moisture and this too will become a moldy disaster
