The insulation is one of the most important factors to consider in our eco-pod materials. We use a mixture of Warmcel™ fibre, Thermafleece™ Superquilt wool and hemp matting to guarantee amazing insulation in our bothies. We use Warmcel™ in the roof and floor. It’s light, strong, highly insulating and made from 100% recycled newspaper. Thermafleece™ is breathable, natural and used to form an inner ‘skin’ on the bothy.
We use Hemp matting in the face and rear of our bothies, which works in tandem with the other materials, which improves thermal and acoustic qualities. moreover, it can also absorb 20% of its weight in moisture without affecting its thermal quality.
Hemp has a low impact on the environment and performs much better than similar products due to its thermal conductivity and fire-resistant qualities. Additionally, it’s a durable material that does not attract rodents or provide a food source for moths and insects.
