Feeling the heat in an older stone or brick home right now? ☀️

Breathability isn’t just a winter damp issue. In hot spells, buildings that can’t 'breathe' can trap heat and moisture, making rooms feel heavy and uncomfortable. Vapour‑open, natural insulation helps traditional fabric manage moisture in cold months and slow heat build‑up in summer.

We’ve put together a quick guide to breathable insulation for older buildings, with simple checks and practical tips.

Who benefits from natural insulation?

More than you might think.

We're working with architects, house builders, self-builders, retrofitters, and merchants who want something better than the standard offer.

In our latest blog, we break down why Sisalwool works for each of them and why natural insulation isn't a compromise anymore.

We also dive into our partnership with @hooseltd and the incredible maquette they've created....showing timber structure, insulation layers, and window detail in full cross-section.

It's a brilliant example of what's possible when natural materials and intelligent design come together. They kindly let us use it at next month's @royalhighlandshow Come along and check it out!

It’s been a busy and rewarding spring for Sisalwool 🌱

We’ve been out across the UK connecting with architects, builders, retrofit specialists and sustainability leaders...sharing ideas and learning from others driving change in the built environment.

From the goodgreenfutures Reuse Hub in Stirling (alongside the brilliant team championing circular construction), to the @homebuildingshow in Glasgow, it’s been great to see growing interest in natural fibre insulation.

In London, @futurebuildnow brought together the best of the industry, where our founder John Ferguson joined the @aspb_uk to explore how regenerative materials can move into the mainstream.

We’re also proud to be part of the Small Scale Big Ideas exhibition at The Building Centre, working alongside @hooseltd and @hsapics on innovative approaches to retrofit, housing and community-led regeneration.

Next up: the @royalhighlandshow where we’ll be teaming up with creators, farmers and rural businesses...transforming a grain silo into a live podcast studio lined with Sisalwool 👀

If you’re interested in collaborating, partnering, or learning more about natural insulation, drop us a message! We’d love to connect.

The countdown to the @royalhighlandshow continues 📆

Time to share a little more about Sisalwool and what makes us different.

Natural insulation that actually works:

🌱 Sustainable... Natural fibres, low carbon, fully recyclable

💨 Breathable...Healthier buildings, no condensation risk

✅ Non-toxic...No chemicals, no nasties, just clean air

🔥 High-performing...Thermal + acoustic performance that delivers

Our Founder, John Ferguson, is speaking at @futurebuildnow tomorrow...

Join us at the Buildings and Materials Stage.

The programme is CPD accredited....a great chance to learn and get inspired.

#Futurebuild #BuiltEnvironment #CPD #ConstructionEvent

Futurebuild open's today and we’re here 🎉

Today’s the perfect day to come and see Sisalwool in person... feel the material, ask questions about your projects, and chat with our team about how natural fibre insulation can support low-carbon, people-first buildings.

Whether you’re working on retrofit, new build or fabric-first strategies, we’d love to talk through real-world applications, performance and practicalities.

If you’re at @futurebuildnow today, come and find us, say hello and let’s explore how Sisalwool can fit into your next project.

When thinking about products for the sauna, I wanted to use suppliers and products that hold similar values that I promote in my regular sustainable building work. So when it came to choosing an insulation @sisalwool was the obvious choice.

I have used Sisalwool on a number of projects, most recently on an extension for @haven.breadandwood on the Isle of Raasay.

Produced in Scotland from sheep's wool and sisal fibrereclaimed from coffee sacks. The dense batts are a pleasure to work with, with non of the irritation associated with some insulations.

Sisalwool helps to buffer any moisture in the structure of the sauna helping to keep your sauna safe from unwanted condensation risks.

With great acoustic properties the sauna also feels quiet and calm just the perfect place to relax.

We’re excited to share that Sisalwool Founder, John Ferguson, will be speaking at Futurebuild as part of an ASBP panel on regenerative materials in construction.

📍 Futurebuild, Excel, London
🗓 Wednesday 13 May
⏰ 4:15–5:00pm

Across this 45-minute session, John and fellow panelists will focus on real-world case studies - from retrofit to new build - showing how natural, regenerative materials can scale from niche to the mainstream. They’ll explore themes like material compatibility, breathability, health and wellbeing, and what it really takes to bring these materials into everyday practice at scale.

The discussion will also tackle the big questions we know matter to consultants, main contractors and sustainability leads: fire performance, pests, certification, and how to maintain robust environmental and social values as demand grows.

Huge thanks to ASBP for the invitation and to @futurebuildnow for providing a platform to spotlight regenerative materials and the role they can play in better buildings. We’re looking forward to John sharing his experience.... and to a lively, practical conversation with the audience.

If you’re at Futurebuild, we’d love you to join the session and bring your questions.

Podcast Studio... Incoming 🎙️

We're doing something a bit unusual at the @royalhighlandshow this year.

We're building a live podcast and content studio inside a full-sized grain silo....lined with Sisalwool to prove just how well natural fibre insulation handles acoustics.

The result? A proper recording space in the middle of the showground chaos.

And it'll be free to use across the four days for creators, exhibitors, and anyone who wants to record something great.

Interested? Drop us a message or comment below and we'll be in touch 👀

Case cracked: we’ve found our new favourite film 🎬🐑

#TheSheepDetectives is out today and we feel seen. Sheep, mystery and more wool than our warehouse… what’s not to love?

If you’re off to the cinema, make it a nicely insulated one...drama on screen only, please. 😉

No detectives (or sheep) are harmed in the making of Sisalwool!

Breaking news: Sisalwool wins by a landslide. 😉

Warm rooms, calmer spaces and an approach that’s kinder to people and the planet – that’s our kind of winning manifesto. 🏆

If you’re at the @homebuildingshow in #Glasgow this weekend, come and find the Sisalwool stand and see why natural insulation gets our vote every time.

While oil companies continue reporting enormous profits during periods of global instability, construction costs keep rising for builders and homeowners alike.

One reason is simple: many modern construction materials are tied to fossil fuel extraction.

In our latest blog, we explore why rising oil prices may accelerate the shift towards natural, biogenic, and locally sourced building materials, and why products from brands like Sisalwool | Sisaltech Ltd | B Corp™ are becoming increasingly competitive alongside wood fibre insulation in high-performance homes.

Regenerative construction is starting to look less like an alternative and more like the future.
