Fire Resistance
Our New Wool Batts are CSIRO tested in accordance with BS 5803
and meet the requirements of this stringent Fire Test.
Natural Protection Against Cold, Heat and Noise
For centuries, wool has protected sheep from extreme weather
conditions, and has been used as insulation in Europe since the
eighteenth century. Due to wools intricate structure, it has a
major advantage over man-made fibres it breathes and traps
air, giving higher thermal and acoustic ratings over other
insulators.
Higgins Insulation has researched and developed a natural wool
insulation product suitable for the varied Australian conditions
while focusing on the need to conserve our precious energy while
still providing effective insulation solutions to the market.
When you install Higgins New Wool Insulation (Fire Retarded),
you are installing a completely safe and effective Australian
product, manufactured by a 100% Australian owned Company.
All products are fully tested and carry a life time
guarantee.
Why Wool?
Research by the CSIRO shows that wool performs better as an
insulator. Wool is a natural, active fibre and traps large columns
of air that provide high resistance to heat flow. The embodied
energy of wool is one of the lowest of all insulating materials,
making it one of nature's natural wonders of insulation. Made in
Australia from Australian wool, there is a wide range of thermal
and acoustic woollen insulation products to suit individual
requirements and budgets.
Product Description
Higgins New Wool Batts (Fire Retarded) are manufactured from
natural wool fibre and treated with Disodium Octaborate to provide
a fire retardant and insect proofing, in accordance with BS
5803.4
Wool has the ability to shed water, yet readily absorbs and
desorbs water vapour. Wool can therefore act as a buffer or
stabilizer to reduce peak humidity levels and condensation this has
been confirmed in research conducted by the International Wool
Secretariat. These special water regulating qualities of wool make
it an ideal choice when using natural paints on natural wall &
ceiling surfaces to enhance vapour permeability of buildings.
By selecting Natural Paints together Natural Wool
Insulation you helping to reduce concentrations of interior
pollution that are typically associated with modern building
practice.
