Thermafleece (Natural Wool Insulation) Applications
Thermafleece Handling Tips
Thermafleece should not be left exposed to sunlight or allowed to remain wet for extended periods, store the insulant under cover and clear of the ground.
Thermafleece is lightweight and easy to handle and install.
Cutting Tips
Thermafleece can be cut using a straight edge and a stanley knife, or simply torn apart. For more accurate cutting, however, we suggest the following method:
Sandwich the fleece between two pieces of solid 15mm board. Overhang the fleece where you want to cut keeping the two board edges exactly one above the other.
Compress the fleece as much as possible either by kneeling on top or clamping the boards together.
Using a sharp, scalloped edged knife and keeping the blade firm and square against both board edges cut using a sawing action. Trim any fine remaining fibres with large scissors or shears.

Safe to Install
Thermafleece Loft Installation at Leeds Metropolitain University
Thermafleece is harmless and can be installed without gloves or protective clothing, although we do recommend that you wear a dust mask in an enclosed space like a loft. It is not irritating to the skin, eyes or respiratory tract and causes no discomfort to site workers during installation. Any fibres which happen to reach the living space will present no hazard to health. The necessary insect proofing and fire resistance rating is achieved by the inclusion of naturally derived additives.
To retain the benefits of water vapour, absorption and release, Thermafleece may be used in conjunction with a vapour permeable underlay.
