Natural Insulation
Natural insulation, otherwise known as sustainable insulation, is manufactured from renewable materials and designed to reduce the amount of heat loss in a building. These materials include sheep’s wool, hemp, and wood fibre. Each of these insulation types can be reproduced with minimal environmental impact compared to other man-made insulation.
Hemp insulation is made from the hemp plant. This is a fast-growing plant that rapidly absorbs CO2, making it carbon negative as well as renewable. A versatile upgrade to any property, hemp insulation can be used on a range of applications, including walls, floors, and ceilings. It is often used as a substitute for glass or mineral wool thanks to its heat-trapping fibres and flexibility.
Wood fibre insulation is made from wood chips and sawmill, which are by-products of harvesting timber. This means that it is a material that would otherwise go to waste, but is consciously used to make an efficient, breathable type of insulation. What’s more, Steico wood fibre insulation is made from FSC and PEFC certified timber, meaning all of the wood is sourced from environmentally responsible forests.
Sheep’s wool insulation is another sustainable and renewable insulation type, made from annual sheep shearing that would otherwise be discarded. The coarse, fibrous material is well suited to slowing down heat transfer, and can even be more thermally efficient than less sustainable insulation such as glass or mineral wool.
