Jeans-Based Building Materials

The UltraTouch Denim Insulation is Now Available at Lowe's

— August 26, 2012 — Eco
The next time you're re-insulating your home, you might want to consider using Bonded Logic's UltraTouch Denim Insulation. Cotton-based insulation is gaining ground in the home maintenance and building industry, and now Lowe's is set to carry this eco-friendly building product at 165 of its stores.

The UltraTouch Denim Insulation is a sustainable building material. It features recycled content, made with 80 percent post-consumer recycled natural fibers, says Jetson Green. What's more, it also doesn't contain any formaldehyde, chemical irritants and VOCs, nor does it give you that irritating itch that normal fiberglass insulation will.

Bonded Logic has also ensured that its denim insulation is easy to use: The product is pre-made with perforations so that you can tear off pieces the same way you would a paper towel, making for quick and simple installation.
