Chatterblock Acoustic Wool Interior Wall and Midfloor Insulation
Description

Chatterblock® Acoustic wool insulation provides thermal and acoustic insulation for interior walls. It provides a strong sound barrier between walls, thanks to wool’s remarkable sound-dampening qualities, as well as excellent thermal insulator properties.

The semi-rigid construction of Chatterblock is specifically formulated with a high density of at least 18kg/m³, giving a high flow resistance suitable for a wide range of specialised sound control.

Chatterblock® is locally manufactured from sheep wool from Canterbury farms and is safe to handle and easy to friction fit install, providing a solution that meets modern acoustic and environmental compliance standards.

Key Features
  • Excellent sound barrier — This acoustic insulation provides a strong sound barrier for walls and midfloors, thanks to wool’s remarkable sound-dampening qualities and high density of at least 18kg/m³
  • Thermal performance — Wool is an excellent thermal insulator
  • Moisture control — Terra Lana insulation is hygroscopic (can absorb and release moisture vapour) so it can help to mitigate condensation risks and mould formation within buildings whilst still maintaining thermal performance.
  • Customisation — All widths and lengths can be customised to suit the specific framing requirements of each project.
  • 50 year warranty — the combination of New Zealand wool and thermal bonding technology using polyester creates a robust, structurally stable product that will never slump nor lose its loft over the lifetime of the building. Meets the durability requirements of the NZBC.
  • Zero waste — made from recycled offcuts from the manufacturing process and offcuts we receive back from the installation process. The product is 100% recyclable on return to the factory in Christchurch
  • Safe — Terra Lana is safe to touch and can be handled without protective clothing, and has negligible VOC emissions
  • Declare Red List Free — certified toxin free
