New Zealanders have a soft spot for wool, with so many of us having grown up surrounded by this wonderful natural fibre.

Now, with Terra Lana’s new CHATTERBLOCK+® Acoustic Insulation, wool gets a new use, as the perfect sustainable acoustic insulation product for your next project.

CHATTERBLOCK+® Acoustic Insulation was created as a healthy, more sustainable alternative to other acoustic products available on the market. It provides a strong sound barrier between walls, midfloor and outside, thanks to wool’s remarkable sound dampening qualities and high density of at least 18kg/m3. It is also an excellent thermal insulator.
