Aislamiento Havelock Wool PRO Batt - R14 | 16" OC

After seeing this product on line we decided to purchase for our new home. We compared to conventional insulation and felt like we were making a responsible choice. We loved how easy it was to handle and after building the cutting jig the install went smoothly. One drawback is that we didn’t know about the R-value in the attic. We failed to calculate the depth needed to achieve what we wanted in the attic. Because we used our budget we couldn’t afford to order more so we paid to have insulation blown in. Which was lesser in comparison. If I had to do it again I would gladly buy Havelock, I would be sure to budget it.

We had to use electric sheep shears to cut the insulation easily without compressing it. The insulation knife just didn't cut it. Even though it has a tiny amount of polyester I truly enjoy the quality of the insulation. It is warm and fuzzy and definitely has sound abatement. I hope that it will transfer moisture seamlessly without causing rot as we chose not to use any form of plastic vapor barrier in our 200+ year old house whose hand hewn beams are still intact without previous vapor barrier. I tried burning the wool and it just went out! Overall an excellent product as we were able to borrow the shears and then it installed beautifully without toxicity.

In our older house in the cool and rainy Pacific NW there was no insulation in the wall shared with our single car attached garage. I wasn't looking forward to working with fiberglass, mineral wool or foam as an elderly do-it-yourselfer on an unfamiliar project. The wool batts were a pleasure to work with despite the many framing members that weren't on 16 or 24 inch centers. I would make the same choice again if I needed to despite the cost of shipping

this worked out great for me. I have had minimal exposure to fiberglass insulation and this is SO MUCH better to work with. I highly recommend.

It was really great to work with Havelock Wool and I’m very satisfied with the product. I have no experience with insulation and was able to install it myself. I used both the 16” and 24” bats in a ADU remodel and it was nice to not have to put on a hazmat suit for protection. A mask was helpful just for dust but no gloves were necessary. Havelock Wool is the future of home insulation!!
