Ron Lepard (403-845-4777)
of Blue Trail Log Homes in Alberta tells us: "We
have gained a competitive advantage by using wool insulation
in the laterals (grooves) and notches. Material costs are
similar, labor costs drop dramatically and there is a
substantial savings for crane rental costs at the building
site. Now we can offer a high-health, non-carcinogenic product
made entirely from renewable resources, and realize a
significant decrease in our costs. We use wool exclusively in
the laterals (grooves) and our crew loves it. If you try it,
you will like it too!"
Ridge poles come off a finished home and then the wool is installed.
"R values are similar to or better than other
products typically used in the laterals (grooves) and notches"
"In Germany wool is being used to remove toxicity in what
we call sick buildings."
"It repels water and doesn't turn into slop when working in
the rain."
"It has holding strength so logs can be pre-insulated
before moving."
"Finally no more glass in our hands, skin, lungs, and
nose."
