Black Mountain Sheep Wool Insulation
Not only does Black Mountain use up to 90% less embodied energy in comparison to many man-made insulation products, the wool fibres used in their products permanently absorb significant quantities of carbon dioxide during their growth cycle. Therefore natural fibre insulations are ‘carbon negative’ – locking up a substantially higher level of carbon than used during their manufacture.
Black Mountain Sheep Wool Insulation Rolls are also a popular choice for van and bus conversions and RV applications! Sheep Wool handles moisture better than other insulation materials, and also handles road vibrations better. Our Van Conversion Page summarizes some information for and from people doing van and bus conversions.
This article addresses sheep wool insulation, pests, and treating sheep wool with Thorlan IW, which is how Black Mountain is treated as is common in the European Union: https://www.thegreenage.co.uk/is-sheepwool-insulation-resistant-to-moths/
Wall, ceiling, and floor insulation is often used as a component of soundproofing. Any insulation product will improve your soundproofing compared to a hollow cavity.
However, if you are attempting to address a serious sound control problem that is impacting health or relationships with family or neighbors, you will want to educate yourself on the intricacies of sound control problems and the corresponding solutions. We recommend you start by visiting our friends at the Soundproofing Company as they are the industry experts.

If installing within rafters right below a roof, make sure you have ventilation from soffit vents up through a ridge vent and/or gable vents, or a roof-mount fan, or else use a vapor barrier.
