Recycled Denim Insulation

Here is some green insulation for your home improvement projects. The primary raw material use in  Bonded Logic’s UltraTouch denim insulation is post-industrial recycled denim. This is all the scrap and waste material from the manufacturing process of blue jeans and other cotton based textiles.  It is treated with a non-toxic borate solution so it is mold resistant.

Their ultra touch R-13 denim insulation product costs about $60 for a 16in OC stud spacing. 10 batts per bag.  It is pricier than traditional insulation but much more green.

Attics should be insulated to R-30 standards, walls and floors to R-13, ducts and connectors to R-6.
