Naturally Healthy

Wool is a protein fibre similar in structure to human hair so even if wool fibres are ingested or inhaled they readily break down into their base proteins and cause no harm.

Terra Lana wool insulation is non-irritating to the skin and no special procedures or protective clothing are required for regular handling and installation.

Terra Lana wool insulation contains no harmful substances. It is non-irritant, non-allergenic, non-toxic and odourless. It uses pure and recycled wool that has been treated for insect resistance. Bioassay tests undertaken by AgResearch give satisfactory insect resistance to Tineola Bisselliella (common clothes moth).

The wool is blended with polyester melt bond fibre and thermally bonded to form a dimensionally stable structure. Polyester is the second most common clothing material after cotton and poses no health risks.

Terra Lana wool insulation is also naturally resistant to mould.
