what is it?
Ecowool® is available as natural Ecowool® and recycled Ecowool®. Natural Ecowool® insulation is 100% pure New Zealand fine, white wool. Recycled Ecowool® is coloured wool sourced from New Zealand woolen product manufacturers.

Identifying it
Ecowool® is white when manufactured from new natural wool and grey when manufactured from recycled wool. Typically, recycled Ecowool® is 60% of the cost of new wool material.

How much do I need?
The insulation provided by Ecowool® depends on the thickness of the installed product. Typical coverage rates for given R-values and density are set out in spec sheets (hot link). Eco Insulation will provide a written installation certificate giving the installed thickness and density.

Where it can't be used
Ecowool® must not be installed if the moisture content of timber framing exceeds 24%. Ecowool® must be isolated from high humidity, such as in swimming pool halls or Saunas, by a vapor barrier. A suitable cover and space from downlight is required.

Sustainability
Ecowool® insulation and packaging is fully recyclable. Eco Insulation is committed to the development and fostering of sustainable building products and practices.
