What it is
RespiraWool is firm, flexible insulation batt made from processed hemp fibre. The fibres are mechanically tangled into a durable mat, giving you a breathable, non-toxic material that fits neatly into walls, ceilings and floors. It provides steady thermal comfort while supporting a healthier indoor environment.
Key Benefits over synthetic batt insulations:
• Dries out and desorbs moisture faster
• Insulates better under moist conditions that synthetics (think gore-tex in the rain versus cheap plastic garments)
• Holds shape, stays solid, and lasts for decades. Doesn’t sag like synthetics
• Brilliant for the planet and your lungs

How it works
RespiraWool sits within the wall or ceiling cavity, where its natural fibres trap air to moderate heat and dampen sound. Because hemp naturally manages moisture, the insulation helps keep the structure dry and reduces the conditions that allow mould or stale indoor air to develop. Once installed, it works quietly in the background to keep your home feeling settled year-round.

How to finish
As an internal insulation layer, RespiraWool is concealed within the cavity and is encased by your interior lining and external cladding.
It shines pairs with vapour-open linings such as lime or clay renders, timber boards or hempcrete, allowing the full wall system to regulate moisture and temperature as designed.

High thermal performance
Hemp fibres trap air in a consistent, natural layer, helping the home hold steady temperatures across the seasons with far less energy demand.
Effective acoustic buffering
The soft, open fibre structure absorbs sound waves and reduces echo transfer between rooms for a calmer indoor feel.
Natural and non-toxic
Made with pure hemp fibre with no chemical additives. It supports cleaner indoor air and helps prevent the damp conditions that encourage mould or pests.
