Why Natural Insulation:
- Are more thermally efficient than mineral fibre
- Use less energy and emit less CO2 in manufacture than mineral fibre (particularly Thermofloc)
- Are safer to handle than mineral fibre
- Have the ability to absorb and desorb moisture without losing their efficiency
- They can store CO2 during growth (hemp)
- Help UK farmers find a market for their sheep wool (Thermafleece)
- At the end of their (long) life compost or incinerate for energy use
- Thermofloc makes use of recycled newsprint
