Natural Air-Conditioner

A natural property of wool is it is always striving to stay in balance with the ever changing level of humidity within the atmosphere. When the external temperature drops and the amount of moisture in the air increases, wool absorbs this increase, at the same time releasing heat into the environment (warms up your house).

On a hot day the opposite occurs; wool gives off moisture into the air, at the same time absorbing energy, making the environment cooler (cools down your house). This is why wool is said to “breathe” as it absorbs and evaporates moisture. Inert mineral and synthetic fibres do not have this property and therefore do not act in the same way as a barrier to rapid changes in temperature and moisture.
