What is it?
Ecofleece® is available in two product options — natural or recycled. Natural Ecofleece® consists of 100% virgin New Zealand sheep’s wool, whereas Recycled Ecofleece® consists of coloured sheep’s wool sourced from New Zealand wool product manufacturers. Recycled is approximately 2/3 the cost of natural. Ecofleece® complies with the insulation standard AS/NZS 4859.1.

Products
Supplied as a blanket ready to roll out over ceiling joists or fitted under or between floor joists, rolls are cut to length when fitting to wall framing cavities. Special runs can be manufactured to order — a roll width of up to 2 m is possible.

Identifying it
Natural Ecofleece® insulation is white in colour. Recyled Ecofleece® insulation is grey. Individual Ecofleece® packs are labelled to identify the specific R-value, coverage per pack in m2, material width, unit number or length of material, nominal thickness, minimum weight and date of manufacture.

How much do I need?
Coverage per pack of Ecofleece® insulation depends on the product and its thickness. Typical roll lengths and coverage per pack are summarized in spec sheets.

Where it can't be used
Ecofleece® insulation must not be installed if the moisture content of timber framing exceeds 24%. Around areas of high humidity, such as swimming pool halls or saunas, Ecofleece® insulation must be isolated from the moisture by a vapor barrier.

Sustainability
Ecofleece® and its packaging is fully recyclable. Recycled Ecofleece® reuses wool as an integral part of product manufacture. Ecofleece® is Enviromark Gold Certified, ensuring continuous improvements in the field of environmental sustainability.
