One of the most important aspects of a yurt is the canvas cover - this is what keeps the yurt dry and allows moisture out (breathing). We have our canvas specially made to order. We have the canvas proofed to a very high standard to ensure the canvas will not leak whatever the climate. We go the extra mile with proofing so you can relax knowing you have the best proofed canvas available.
Once you have a waterproof outer cover you might consider adding some insulation. Felt insulation transforms a tent into a home. It gives a feeling of strength, warmth and security. Once a person has used a felt insulated yurt they will never want to go back to a thin canvas cover. In Mongolia and central Asia where canvas is readily available ALL yurts used as homes are felt insulated.
Insulation is very important in the summer and winter. If you want to be warm and cosy in winter you will appreciate felt insulation. If you want to be cool you will also appreciate felt insulation. In addition, in Mongolia they said the felt is the muscle of the Yurt. It is important as it gives strength to the structure.
When inside a felted yurt you know this to be true as it can be felt.
Our felt is 100% sheep’s wool treated to be fire resistant with natural salts. The thickness is the minimum we believe necessary for Europe. Many of our customers insist on felt and are very pleased with their choice.
On the interior of the felt is a bright liner that can be washed. This is invaluable to keep your yurt looking clean and bright year after year. It is made of a fire retarded material that (with fire certificate) which is especially important if you having a stove in the yurt.
