SISALWOOL™ is a blend of sisal fibre, a sustainable fibre crop, and sheep wool.  We are currently producing using recycled materials, so the sisal fibre is sourced from recycled coffee sacks, and the wool is sourced from waste from the wool carpet making industry.

SISALWOOL™ has a similar thermal performance to stone wool type products and a better thermal performance than glass fibre.

SISALWOOL™ uses natural and recycled fibres so has a very low carbon footprint.  Offcuts can also be recycled.

Typically wherever you have timber studs, SISALWOOL™ can be used in-between.  this could be in a wall, a pitched roof, or even under a suspended timber floor.

yes, SISALWOOL™ has passed the Euro-class E surface spread of flame test.  This test involves holding a blowtorch to the insulation, and when the flame is removed, the fire self-extinguishes. Click Here For Fire Resistance Video

Yes, SISALWOOL™ is ideal for acoustic insulation, and particularly for preventing the reverberation of sound within internal stud walls between rooms

We recommend using SISALWOOL™ insulation internally within the building, for a wide range of applications including roof, wall and floor insulation.  It is particularly suited to use in traditional buildings due to its breathability.

No, it is much safer and more pleasant to work with than most insulation products

Yes, although due to fire regulations it is not certified for use in buildings more than 18m tall.
