Architect’s comments

Max of Capacaccia Architecture said:

“It’s a real balancing act supplying homeowners with healthy, energy-efficient homes that are created using materials with a low carbon footprint. Specifying Terra Lana is the obvious choice for MCAS. there is no negative to Terra Lana. It’s natural, sustainable, and has superior performance.”

Builder’s comments

Nick of Parsons Construction said,

“The health and safety of our workers is paramount and I am always pleased when Terra Lana is specified as the insulation choice for a build. “It’s great knowing that my guys don’t need to wear protective clothing when handling Terra Lana insulation. I know I am not putting the health of my employees at risk of inhaling toxic fibres. Also as the owner of a construction company, I am well aware of the amount of waste that construction sites produce. The fact that Terra Lana takes back any off-cuts to their factory to be recycled into more insulation is fantastic. I appreciate one less waste product ending up in landfill.”
