""We are also committed to providing efficient properties that will have a direct benefit to our residents.
By using Black Mountain, Seddon met this brief by creating homes that are expected to lower energy bills for our occupants"".
"Jonathan Seddon, Director at the Seddon Group, says: "Wool insulation is a relatively new application within construction, and will totally revolutionise the way we insulate buildings.
Not only is it much easier and safer to handle, it is the only insulation that is able to manage condensation effectively - perfect for combating related illnesses for our clients - and is truly sustainable as a natural by-product of sheep farming".
""We are committed to finding sustainable solutions in our build projects and minimising our impact on the environment, as well as helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint, and we are therefore thrilled not only to be the first to use Black Mountain but also to take a small equity investment in the business".
Investing in Black Mountain will enable Seddon to offer a sustainable solution to energy usage and climate change to their customers, whilst supporting a natural resource that is both biodegradable and recyclable, in line with Seddon's environmental stance.
The Craven Street development of six, three-bedroom semi-detached houses was completed in March this year and Black Mountain sheep's wool was used to insulate the properties.
