Montana Green Insulation

Natural Insulation for Home and Commercial Use

Montana Green sheep wool insulation is the ultimate green and sustainable insulation. It is made from sheep wool from the ranches of Montana. The wool is sheared off the sheep in the spring and washed and carded into Montana Green insulation.

Sheep wool offers loads of advantages for your insulation needs. It has higher R-values then conventional fiberglass insulation. Wool is naturally mold and mildew resistant, Non-carcinogenic and almost completely fire proof. We make 48”, 24” and 16” batts, wool coils for log homes and blow-in insulation for ceiling and enclosed areas.

Wool insulation is the Healthy choice for your building needs. Wool prevents Sick Building Syndrome. Montana Green Wool Insulation can permanently trap formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. It locks these chemicals up at the basic atomic levels and makes your home safer.

If allergies bother you, try wool, it is a naturally non-allergenic fiber.

Wool is hygroscopic can absorb up to 40% of its weight in water without feeling wet too the touch. This process is unique to wool and has never been replicated in a man made product. Being wet does not compromise wools insulating ability.

Wool can be used as an acoustic insulation as well with a reduction rate 44dB for 2.5 inches of wool.

The natural crimp of wool allows it to hold its physical structure and thickness and not break down and settle like conventional insulation.

Installation is a breeze as it requires no special equipment, no safety gear and is quick and easy. The batts are held in place by friction and the blow in holds the shape of the cavity it is in. Most builders use an interior house wrap or vapor barrier to help hold the insulation in place. Then the interior finish is installed.

Montana Green sheep wool insulation is the consummate renewable resource. Each sheep produces 6-10 pounds of wool each year. The wool is safely sheared off the sheep each spring. This allows the sheep to go into the summer with a light shirt, growing out into a heavy sweater as the weather cools and winter approaches.

Montana Green Insulation is treated with a natural boron product that keeps pests out of the wool and insures a long life for your healthy investment.
