Terra Lana Wool Insulation has been appraised as a thermal insulation material for framed or part-framed walls, ceilings and roofs of domestic and commercial buildings.

Installation options:

• Install between I-beams: Terra Lana Skillion Ceiling wool insulation can be installed from inside, suspended between timber I-Beams. Installing Terra Lana I-Beam Fillet insulation in the I-Beams is recommended before friction-fitting the skillion blankets.
• Installed from above prior to roofing: Terra Lana wool insulation can withstand exposure to weather and will dry out even after roofing is installed
• Installed from below: skillion insulation is quite rigid and will friction-fit between rafters when installed from below after roofing. Strapping can be used to ensure it stays in place while building.

• Must be installed in accordance with the Installation Guide and Terra Lana technical literature
• Terra Lana Skillion Ceiling wool insulation should be fitted between rafters, leaving a ventilation gap above (as per the building code) — which can be created by purlins. This further allows the wool insulation to vent moisture out of the building structure.
• Must be stored under cover and in dry conditions, and in a way that avoids excessive compression

In the opinion of BRANZ, Terra Lana Wool Insulation, if designed, used, installed and maintained in accordance with the statements and conditions of Appraisal 682, will meet or contribute to meeting the following provisions of the NZBC:

• Clause B2 DURABILITY: Performance B2.3.1 (a) not less than 50 years and B2.3.1 (b) 15 years. Terra Lana Wool Insulation meets these requirements
• Clause E3 INTERNAL MOISTURE: Performance E3.3.1. Terra Lana Wool Insulation contributes to meeting this requirement.
• Clause F2 HAZARDOUS BUILDING MATERIALS: Performance F2.3.1. Terra Lana Wool Insulation meets this requirement.
• Clause H1 ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Performance H1.3.1 (a) and H1.3.2 E. Terra Lana Wool Insulation contributes to meeting these requirements.

• 50 year warranty — Terra Lana wool insulation comes with a 50 year warranty to meet the durability requirements of the New Zealand Building Code. 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.
• Recyclable — As part of Terra Lana's commitment to zero waste, Terra Lana insulation offcuts can be returned to the factory in Christchurch, and are recycled into more insulation.
• Declare Red List Free — certified toxin free
