Lammöneristeiltä

Lammöneristeiltä is a term of Finnish origin that can be translated as "sheep's wool insulation." It refers to the use of processed sheep's wool as a material for thermal and acoustic insulation in buildings and other applications. Sheep's wool has been used as an insulating material for centuries, prized for its natural properties.

The processing of sheep's wool for insulation typically involves cleaning the wool to remove lanolin and any impurities, followed by treating it to prevent insect infestation and fire. The wool can then be formed into various products, such as batts, rolls, or loose-fill insulation, which can be installed in walls, attics, and floors.

The advantages of using sheep's wool insulation include its excellent thermal performance, its ability to absorb moisture without losing insulating value (hygroscopic properties), and its natural breathability, which can help regulate indoor humidity. It is also considered an environmentally friendly option as it is a renewable resource and biodegradable. Furthermore, sheep's wool is a natural sound absorber, contributing to improved acoustic comfort. While often more expensive than conventional insulation materials, its long-term benefits and sustainable nature make it an attractive choice for many.
