  • A naturally better installation. Pure and simple.

All over the world people are rediscovering the amazing thermo-regulation properties of wool. Wool is nature's wonder fibre. Outdoor enthusiasts now wear wool “layers” to stay warm and also to keep cool. They know that wool knows the difference. So if we are putting natural woolen garments on our bodies why shouldn’t we be putting natural wool insulation in our homes?

This is a natural alternative to synthetic insulation. Many other wool insulation products use a wool polyester mix. Latitude®  insulation utilises 100% natural fibres and the natural air-conditioning qualities of wool to properly protect your home from extreme weather, noise and harmful toxins.  The process that enables us to manufacture Latitude without the need for the use of polyester fibres is covered by a patent in New Zealand and a number of other countries.

Latitude®  Insulation is made from natural recycled sheep's wool which is bonded together with a non-toxic acrylic resin using a patented spray bonding process. The unique resin bonding process gives Latitude® excellent structural integrity allowing it to be self supporting in building cavities. This attribute sets it apart from all other wool insulation products which utilize a wool/polyester mix that results in a softer, less rigid product. Latitude® is the original wool insulation material and has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1994, previously under the WoolBlocTM brand.

The only disadvantage of Natural Wool is that it is a quit expensive insulation material.
