Sideau AgraWool®
Quantity Box of 6 Plates
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 offers the strongest support and water retention, making it ideal for most arrangements.
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.
