Portland, OR -- Oregon Shepherd, a leading Attic, Roof and Ceiling Insulation company is proud to announce its alternative to traditional insulation products. The new PermaLoft® and PermaBatt11® product lines are made of sheep wool and give consumers a choice in natural home insulation. According to Bob Workman, general manager at Oregon Shepherd: "Our PermaLoft insulation is perfect for horizontal spaces such as attics, roofs and ceilings and can be hand placed or blown between framing members."

"In this economy, homeowners looking for ways to save money and help the environment have found sheep wool insulation to be an economical and eco-friendly way to keep their home warm in the winter and cool in the summer," continued Workman. "Our natural attic and roof insulation is ideal for remodeling or retrofit projects because it's safe and easy to handle, requiring no protective equipment typically used during traditional fiberglass insulation." The ceiling and loft insulation can be hand placed or blown into its final location by DIY homeowners. The depth of the installation provides the criteria for any R-factor appropriate for the particular installation.
