The Beauty of Wool

Wool is a natural air conditioner because it breathes…

Wool is a natural insulator, providing high performance for many years.

When the external temperature drops and the amount of moisture in the air increases, wool absorbs this increase, at the same time releasing heat into the environment (warms up your house). On a hot day the opposite occurs; wool gives off moisture into the air, at the same time absorbing energy, making the environment cooler (cools down your house).

The natural crimp (springiness) in wool assists Terra Lana insulation to maintain its loft (height) and therefore its ability to entrap air (insulate) over the lifetime of your building.

Terra Lana natural wool insulation also naturally resists rodents, insects and fire. If exposed to strong direct heat it may smolder and will try to self extinguish. It will not emit toxic gases in a fire.
