1. Wool insulation should not be exposed to
sunlight or allowed to remain wet for extended periods; store
it under cover and clear of the ground.
2. Wool
insulation is lightweight and easy to handle and install. The
material can be easily cut to shape and size with a sharp
knife or scissors.
3. Take care to use a sharp or new
auger when drilling logs with our wool already installed. Wool
gains incredible strength when spun. A long-handled pipe
wrench will usually free the tool.
4. Narrow and
shallow laterals with tight-fitting notches are the most
economical applications for wool rope. Builders using these
methods have claimed our wool to be cheaper than fiberglass
and emseal in material costs. Builders are finding that the
savings in labor costs alone more than pay the extra costs of
wool in larger gap construction methods. An even greater
savings is achieved by pre-insulating the logs in the yard
before moving them to the building site where crane rental
costs are very high. The superior holding strength of wool
compared to other fibers allows it to be pre-insulated and
hauled to the construction site mainly intact.
