Insulation From Denim Jeans

Jun 2 2003

People the world over would agree that their most comfortable and treasured item of clothing is an old pair of denim jeans. Now Americans can give that snug and comfortable feeling to their entire home with cotton insulation primarily manufactured from denim scraps.

Ultra Touch cotton insulation batts not only meet the highest fire resistance rating and are of a higher insulation value than most fibreglass batts, they are also easy to install with none of the handling problems of fibreglass such as itching and respiratory problems. The denim used in cotton batts has traditionally ended up in landfill.
