wool insulation

Sheep-fiber thermal barrier

Wool insulation is building material made from sheep's wool, used to regulate temperature in walls, attics, and floors.

It absorbs and releases moisture without losing effectiveness, resists fire naturally, and appeals to those seeking sustainable alternatives to fiberglass or foam: We chose wool insulation for the cabin because it's renewable and nontoxic.
