Benefits of "WOOLCELL"
4 Season's WOOLCELL insulation should add
more value to your home than any other commonly used insulation product due to
the foremost reputation wool has developed over the years as an insulating
material and as a natural and safe product. WOOLCELL also has the
following benefits:
Unlike Cellulose Fibre (CF) WOOLCELL contains wool which is renowned for
it's insulation qualities due to it's ability to rapidly absorb or release water
vapour. In winter wool can absorb moisture releasing energy (heat). In summer
when temperatures increase, the wool releases moisture that has a cooling effect
on the fibres.
Unlike CF, WOOLCELL is semi-bound for an enormous increase in stability,
no need for surface sprays as WOOLCELL is semi-bound right throughout the
insulation layer. Ideal for draughty roof cavities.
Wool is a very efficient absorber of indoor air pollutants. Woolen insulation
products can absorb and permanently retain high levels of formaldehydes, emitted
from some common building materials and furniture and nitrogen dioxide and
sulphur dioxide, which are normal byproducts of combustion processes (eg gas
stoves and heaters), which help fight the "sick building syndrome.
The
wool-fibres in WOOLCELL are by nature crimped'. Crimp gives the
insulation product more resilience which means that WOOLCELL will retain
it's loft better than CF in the long term and therefore should maintain a better
insulation rating.
As
WOOLCELL is a lot more stable than CF, it is highly recommended for
insulating raked ceiling construction.
WOOLCELL is a better insulator than CF as it requires 20% less material then
CF to achieve a similar R' (insulation) rating (and is therefore 20% lighter
than CF on your ceiling material).
WOOLCELL, unlike CF, utilises wool, which contributes to the economy of
Australia's rural industry.
