Why Choose Montana Green Sheep Wool Insulation?

• Wool insulation prevents Sick Building Syndrome.  As defined by the EPA Sick Building Syndrome refers to a set of symptoms that affect some number of building occupants during the time they spend in the building and diminish or go away during periods when they leave the building.

• Montana Green Sheep Wool Insulation can permanently trap formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

• Wool insulation is hygroscopic which means it absorbs or attracts moisture from the air.  It can absorb up to 40% of its weight in water without feeling wet to the touch.  This characteristic is unique to wool and has never been successfully replicated by a man made product.

• Getting wet does not compromise wool's insulating ability.

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

• The natural crimp of Montana Green Sheep Wool allows it to hold its structure and thickness, meaning it will not break down and settle like conventional wools.
• Montana Green Sheep Wool is the product of wool that is harvested from Montana sheep ranches.  Each sheep produces 6-10 lbs of virgin wool.
• The wool is safely and humanely 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.
