Insulation as Nature Intended
Why Wool
Why should you insulate your van, bus, or camper van with Havelock Wool?
Moisture Management
Moisture happens. You need a hygroscopic insulation that actively manages moisture, helping keep your van dry and free from mold, mildew and rust.
Havelock Wool measures at an impressive R Value PER INCH of 3.6. 2″ batts are R7. Thicker walls = higher R value.
Sound Absorption
Havelock Wool excels at absorbing road noise and reducing unwanted noise. All this makes your van, skoolie, RV a more pleasant place to be.
Sustainability
Havelock Wool is renewable, sustainable, biodegradable and compostable. It’s overall carbon footprint is extremely low.
Easy on the Wallet, Easy to Install
Because Havelock Wool insulates, absorbs sound and manages moisture there is no need for additional materials like sound deadeners or vapor barriers. The wool works best on it’s own. The result? A lower overall cost to insulate completely and a much easier one step installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
The batts we make for vans are R7 @2” thick.
The amount of insulation is measured by the amount of wall, floor or ceiling / roof space you need to insulate. It is not the s/f of your house. Once you calculate the actual square footage of the space you need to insulate and the associated cavity depths you will understand how much insulation is required. We built a calculator here to help.
We only recommend using a vapor barrier on the ground in a crawl space. Vapor variable membranes can help create air tightness and in turn efficiency in the performance of a home but for sure a pure vapor barrier has no place in the walls or roofline.
No. We’ve not had an issue in over 10 years.
We apply a minor amount of boric acid (less than 1% by weight), which is all-natural and non-toxic, as an insect repellent. In addition, it is often the lanolin that attracts pests. Our wool comes from New Zealand where the most advanced scouring (cleaning) techniques in the world are employed to ensure a consistent, clean fiber that is provided for our process.
We’ve tried to make this as easy as possible. First and foremost you can buy everything we make on our website here. In addition, we made our PRO batts with professional installers and builders in mind. The adoption rate is going quite well so we hope and expect you can also source our products from your local installer now or in the near term.
