For the people shaping, supplying and improving our homes: hotter summers mean we need to think differently about building performance.

The Met Office has provisionally recorded summer 2026 as the UK’s hottest on record, with a mean temperature of 16.5°C across June, July and August.

That matters to:

-Policy makers setting housing, energy-efficiency and health priorities.

-Architects, designers and specifiers choosing how buildings perform in every season.

-Builders, retrofit teams and installers turning plans into real homes.

-Builders’ merchants and suppliers helping the industry access the right products and advice.

-Homeowners and housing providers looking for more comfortable, future-ready properties.

Keeping heat in during winter remains essential. But increasingly, we also need to consider how buildings slow unwanted heat entering during summer.

That is the principle behind Decrement Delay.

Our latest blog sets out what the term means, why it should be part of the overheating conversation, and how insulation choices can support more comfortable homes all year round.....

A lovely review from Thomas..... thank you for taking the time to share your experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s great to hear that Sisalwool worked well in a period-property project, providing a breathable insulation solution that was easy to cut and friction fit behind woodwool panels and lime plaster.

We’re particularly pleased that Thomas highlighted the product’s value, natural credentials and our quick customer service...and that Sisalwool will be back on the list for a loft insulation project next year.

Thanks again, Thomas. We look forward to helping with the next project.

Happy International Dog Day! 🐾

After our guide to Britain’s sheep breeds, we couldn’t leave out the hardworking dogs that help keep the flock moving.

Our new Fun Guide to Sheepdogs celebrates ten brilliant working and pastoral breeds from Border Collies and Welsh Sheepdogs to Kelpies and Huntaways.

Expect brains, stamina, mud, bark and a shaggy coat.

A quick note before anyone tests us on it: this is a bit of fun, not a dog-training manual. We’re experts in natural insulation, not sheepdog handling....but we do know a good four-legged colleague when we see one.

Have a read here: https://www.sisalwool.com/blogs/blog/sisalwool-s-fun-guide-to-sheepdogs

Tell us: who is the best sheepdog you’ve ever worked with or met?
