SIDEAU-AGRAWOOL

Sideau AgraWool® is an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional floral foam blocks. Made from 97% basalt mineral rock fibers, this non-toxic solution provides a sustainable option for your floral arrangements. Sideau AgraWool® is crafted by spinning powdered basalt rock into fibers at high heat and binding them with a patented sugar-based agent, offering a natural and eco-friendly choice for your floral needs.

Perfect for fresh, dry, and silk flowers, Sideau AgraWool® fits seamlessly into standard floral containers and can be easily cut to size with a serrated edge knife. Its quick water absorption properties ensure that your stems stay hydrated, while its sturdy construction securely supports them.

Sideau AgraWool®'s composition of thin layers of mineral basalt fibers compressed into sheets provides stability and durability. The ribbed side of the brick offers the strongest support and water retention, making it ideal for most arrangements. The softer side of the block can be used for delicate stems, with pre-perforation recommended for ease of insertion.

As the binding material biodegrades, Sideau AgraWool® transforms into rock dust, acting as a beneficial soil amendment that's safe for the environment. While handling, those with skin sensitivity should wash their hands afterward. Personal Protective Equipment is not required for normal use.

For optimal results, follow these steps when using Sideau AgraWool®:

  1. Preparation (optional): Cut the Sideau AgraWool® to fit your floral container with a serrated edge knife.
  2. Water Absorption: Place the Sideau AgraWool® in your container and add approximately 1.5 liters of water per brick. The wool will quickly absorb the water, supporting stems in place.
  3. Orientation: Position the Sideau AgraWool® with the ribbed side facing up for optimal strength and water retention. For delicate stems, consider using the softer side.
  4. Insertion (optional): Use a skewer or pick to "pre-perforate" and protect the stems, facilitating easier insertion through the layers of Sideau AgraWool®.
  5. Disposal: After use, Sideau AgraWool® can be reused, composted in small quantities, or safely disposed of in regular landfills, contributing to a more sustainable floral industry.

Good for certain installation set ups

These blocks worked well in long rectangular containers or deep pots where they where tightly packed. They did not work well in a small compote, as they tended to separate and fall apart if there was space between the block and the edge of the vase.

Not sold on the product

I love the idea of a non toxic replacement for the awful floral foam, but I couldn’t poke stems into it without breaking them which was a big problem for me right before a wedding I thought the product would work for- also I noticed when I was dumping out the pre-taped and wet product that it falls apart when saturated which I think could be a nightmare for any florist working with heavy blooms or more gravity than normal/ sympathy arrangement on its side… Id imagine any silk flowers would go fine into the material but I will not use it again for fresh flowers.

AgraWool bricks came quickly and worked well

I've been looking for an environmental substitute for foam. I've been using AgraWool, which is a different material, so it handles a bit differently. But it's easy to use, and composts easily and will order it again!

Environmental necessity

Love this as sheep farmers! I love how it even works well with silk and dried flowers! I will say that while cutting and placement almost has an itchy fiberglass shred.

It’s works great overall. Better than contaminating with continual use of oasis floral foam, a bit harder to work with but not impossible, practice before using.
