This is similar to cellulose insulation (also available as loose-fill and wet-spray), in which fragments of paper are visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, sheep&rsquo;s wool is available in batts that are white, gray, or brown with a characteristic woolen appearance. It may also be used as loose-fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sheep's Wool Insulation Guide: Pros, Cons, and FAQs\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1e_LNIw-64w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Straw may be used in bale form or fused into boards with heavyweight kraft paper covering each side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cork, hemp, and wood fiber insulation are also used as batts or rigid boards and are brown with textures characteristic of the materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural fiber insulation can be installed in the same way as synthetic insulation within floor, wall, and roof buildups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inherent R-Value of Natural Fiber Insulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/insulation-r-value-what-it-mean\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23233\">R-value<\/a> of a type of insulation determines how effective it is at preventing the transfer of heat. The higher the R-value, the more resistant it is to heat flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is often the case that loose-fill insulation has a lower R-value than batts or boards of insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most synthetic insulation types have an R-value ranging from 2.5 to about 8 per inch of thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average R-values of common natural fiber insulation types range from about 2 to just over 4 per inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Cellulose typically has R-values ranging from 3.2 to 3.8 per inch of thickness<\/li><li>Sheep&rsquo;s wool ranges from 3.6 to 4.3, depending on the form used<\/li><li>Hemp and cork have similar average R-values of around 3.7 per inch<\/li><li>Cotton is slightly higher at 3.8<\/li><li>Straw has a lower R-value at just under 2 per inch.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thickness Guide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine how thick insulation needs to be to obtain an R-rating, one can divide the target R-value by the R-value of the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table below gives a range of the likely thicknesses of natural fiber insulation types needed to

Advertising API<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Easy to Install?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ease of installation depends on the material and form used, but generally, installation can be easier in the sense that protective clothing and masks are not needed, and cleanup is simplified because the materials are biodegradable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In batt form, insulation, such as sheep&rsquo;s wool and cotton, can be quite simple to install as they can be cut and trimmed to shape as needed. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/blown-in-insulation-safe\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23310\">Blown-in forms<\/a>, such as cellulose, can be installed using a suitable blower, but this may require more complex procedures to prevent settling and other unwanted effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rigid board forms, such as cork, can be tricky to cut to fit around other areas with awkward angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Straw insulation can also be fairly easy to install, but this type of insulation may be best installed during house construction, and not necessarily during renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Natural Fiber Insulation Dangerous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since natural fiber insulation is made from natural materials, it is much safer than synthetic insulating materials to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you might breathe in some fibers during installation, it is unlikely that this will cause major health issues, and certainly less so than synthetic insulating materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some natural fiber insulating materials, such as hemp, can be quite flammable, but they are often treated with fire-retardant chemicals, including borax or ammonium sulfate, to minimize this risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there may be concern that these fire-retardant chemicals themselves may be dangerous, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33485927\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">little evidence<\/a> to suggest this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheep&rsquo;s wool, hemp, or straw insulation may cause allergic responses in sensitive individuals during installation, but this is unlikely to be cause for major concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Natural Fiber Insulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to other forms of insulation, natural fiber insulation types have several advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, they are easier and safer to handle, without the requirement for major protective gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, they are environmentally friendly as they require little energy to produce since they are derived from recycled materials, result in low carbon dioxide emissions, and are biodegradable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\"

(so you won&rsquo;t have to suffer through the neighbor&rsquo;s dreaded violin rehearsals) and provide electrical resistance. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some types, such as sheep&rsquo;s wool, can absorb moisture and reduce condensation and may improve indoor air quality by absorbing harmful gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drawbacks of Natural Fiber Insulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, natural fiber insulation does have a few negative characteristics to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most natural fiber insulation types can last for a few decades, they are not as durable as synthetic insulation options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, their ability to absorb moisture may make them more prone to damage and swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can be more flammable than other types of insulation (but if they are treated with fire-retardant chemicals, this shouldn&rsquo;t be cause for concern).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, natural fiber insulations are often more expensive than other insulation types, and proper installation may require thicker walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a
