Wool
Batts and Wool Rope
Available in both
"rope" for notches and laterals, and "batts" for notches, peak walls,
attics, floors.
Environmentally friendly, flame resistant, superior insulation, natural
sound blocker, repels pests, non-carcinogenic, recyclable. The additive
used to make our wool fire resistant and to repel vermin and insects is
Boron a naturally occurring element found in the earth.
Estimating Amounts Needed
Log laterals and notches:
Take the length
of each log wall and add 3' to the length to compensate for the notch
area (if using in the notch area). Add all log wall lengths
together to get a total lineal
feet of log per round. Multiply by the number of logs high to get a
total lineal footage.
- If
using original
wool rope, divide by 50'/Lb. (if only 1 length of rope is needed to
fill the lateral). Double or triple that if two or
three lengths of rope are being used.
- If
using the
newer denser style wool rope (actually wool batts cut 4"
wide and lofting to 2" tall), figure on 11' per pound and only in the
rarest cases will you need more than 1 run of rope in a
lateral.
Cathedral
Ceilings, frame/stud
walls:
- The
original batt is approximately 1-3 lb. batts,
measuring approximately 6'L x 1.5'W x 3"...(when you open one up fully,
it looks like it could be used to stuff a comforter). Good for using in
notches.
- The
newer batt is
available in either 14-1/2" or 22-1/2" widths and rolls are 24' long.
Thickness is approximately 2" (R Value is roughly calculated at R7.5
per 2" of thickness).
Wool
Batts for
Frame and Timber-Frame Homes:
- Add
separately the total wall, roof and floor square footage to be
insulated.
- For
16" centers divide the square feet by 87 to get the total number
of 14-1/2" bags needed and then multiply by the number of 2"
layers needed.
- For
24" centers divide the square feet by 90 to get the total number
of 22-1/2" bags needed and then multiply by the number of 2" layers
needed.
NOTE:
Wool
is light enough that approximately 20lbs ships as a 30lb package (UPS

Wool Rope
cc0013-rope-original
Original wool rope
insulation is
2-3" wide x
1-2" high
and has 50 lineal feet per pound.
(measurements are approximate)
With this style rope you'll
use 1-4 layers to fill a lateral depending on the lateral width.
NOTE:
We'll fill the order as close as we can, however bags are often filled
to a partial pound quantity (e.g. 7 lbs-12 oz.), thus we'll adjust
you're order (slightly) to show the true weight of product being
shipped.

be used in quilt making...you'll need to refold to get to fit into a
standard wall space.

We'll fill the order as close as we can, however bags are often filled
to a partial pound quantity (e.g. 4 lbs-12 oz.), thus we'll adjust
you're order (slightly) to show the true weight of product being
