Havelock Wool produces natural, high performance wool to promote a healthier, more sustainable ecosystem. All information about wool is from their website.

IMPROVES AIR QUALITY

• Wool insulation does not off-gas harmful chemicals.
• Wool fibers serve as an air filter.
• The amino acids in wool insulation bond with harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide on a molecular level.
• Wool is hypo-allergenic – making it well-suited for those who are chemically sensitive.
• The EPA suggests that indoor air quality is 2-5x worse than outdoor.

ABSORBS SOUND

• Wool exceeds other forms of insulation as an acoustic buffer.
• Sheep’s wool absorbs 90 & 95% of airborne sound.
• Unique visco-elasctic properties of wool assist in the conversion of sound energy to heat
• The fibrous nature of a wool fiber means that, unlike many other materials, wool products can reduce airborne sound, surface noise and sound transmission all at the same time.

MANAGES MOISTURE

• Wool fibers manage moisture by absorbing and releasing moisture against 65% relative humidity.
• Wool prevents condensation by generating heat from energy, making it warm when wet.
• Moisture is inevitable; wool’s inherent management capabilities allow for longer lasting products.
• Wool is a keratin and will not support the growth of mold.’
