Terra Lana is so safe that it is manufactured & installed without any protective clothing or mask. The fibres in wool are too large to be a respiratory threat, and if inhaled, they break down easily because they are a natural organic protein.
Healthier indoor air quality
Sick Building Syndrome is a common and well-documented illness caused by toxins such as formaldehyde vapour emitted over time from common building materials, airborne toxins from mould or mildew and from sulphur & nitrogen dioxide combustion by-products from gas stoves or fires.
Thankfully—and remarkably—wool absorbs much of these toxic vapours by trapping them within its cellular structure. It literally filters and purifies the air you breathe for a healthier, non-irritating and non-toxic building environment!
Well insulated homes are much better for your health
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of asthma and respiratory illness in the OECD countries, proven to be related to cold, damp homes. Research shows that poorly insulated houses lead to many health issues such as asthma, bronchitis, rheumatic fever and infectious skin diseases.
Wool helps guard against damp
The structure of sheep wool fibre is 'hygroscopic', meaning it absorbs & releases moisture in the form of vapour - helping mitigate against the risks of damp and condensation in a home.
