The wool batts could start to split (pull apart like what we did for the floor insulation) over time and we felt the mold-resistant string held up the insulation very well until we put up the walls.

Hey, very much appreciate the video. Just one thing, unless they have changed their way of processing havelock have 8% borate chemicals which they try not to mention all that much. It doesn't seem to be any harm to humans, but it does make it less sustainable and reusable.. in saying that, I still found it to be one of the best options out there.
@twowanderingsoles 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Michael, you're right, Havelock does add 8% boric acid to the wool as a non-toxic insect repellant. Boric Acid (or Hydrogen Borate) does occur naturally in water, soil and plants and Havelock is definitely not trying to hide it as, with a quick google search, they mention it in several blog articles, some of which I've linked below: havelockwool.com/2018/05/why-we-are-still-such-a-small-business/ havelockwool.com/2016/12/insulating-homes-with-sheep-wool/ I do agree with you that Havelock Wool is one of the best options out there. I hope this clears a few things up.
@JoannaPCarey 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Joanna, the insulation is made out of sheep's wool (yes, like 🎶 ba ba black sheep 🎶), but in this case, the wool is from a company called Havelock Wool. I encourage you to watch the entire video because we walk you through the whole install process (subfloor, walls, and ceiling) and explain why we chose Havelock Wool.

Hi! Were three bags enough ? I have a ram high roof 136 wb, ordered three bags and don’t plan on doing the floor, but I’m starting to have doubts now. I’ve seen videos where people didn’t say what havelock recommended on their site is enough or people have folded it in half to double it. What do you recommend? Should I add another bag ? Thanks!
@twowanderingsoles 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Estefania, great question. 3 bags of Havelock Wool batts for our ProMaster 136" Wheelbase was perfect for us. Havelock even recommends 3 bags for a ProMaster 159" WB (check out the link in the description). If you're planning on just doing the walls and ceiling, then you'll have plenty. Just make sure your nylon string is tight on your walls and you measure out your wall cavities first. Then use the rest as loose filling in the framing. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers!

True, the little bit that ribs touch the wood on the inside can get slight more hot or cold depending on the weather. It was barely enough to notice tho. To combat this in our latest van, we actually glued a felt carpet-like material to the exposed ribs. Therefore reducing the heat transfer to the wood interior. It was a cheap and simple fix and works great!

We decided against glue because the wool batts do peel apart. So if we did glue, part of the batt could potentially stay while the peel would fall down. Also a major advantage of the wool is to be chemical free for insulation and adding glue defeats that. For us, the string held the wool batts up very well (we also stuffed a few more layers of wool in the top after we put the walls up too, before sealing it completely) I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

Your use of Wool battens indicates a very casual approach to funding. Wool batts have been used for longer than I have been on this earth. (90 yrs). You must have the softest hands from handing this material and in addition you may even have softer walls to absorb minor dents and scratches. What about re-sale value to those with allergies? Did the Havelock people provide the wool batts or financial incentive?

Hi Andy, we acknowledge that wool insulation is not for everyone, especially vegans since wool is an animal product. However, wool insulation is one of the more environmentally friendly options for insulation. I'd also encourage you to check out Havelock Wool's FAQ section where they state, "Animal welfare is one of many reasons we source our wool from New Zealand. Their Animal Welfare Act 1999 governs how animals are treated and is enforced quite strictly.". The have more information there if you have time to check it out.
