Green Building Materials Make Good Reuse of Blue Jeans
When you think of denim, you probably imagine a pair of blue jeans—not a durable building material. But rugged denim fibers are being used as a natural alternative for insulation. And with no chemicals or volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) cotton insulation made from recycled blue jeans is a wonderful option for keeping your house warm this winter. Ultra Touch insulation contains over 85% recycled denim and cotton fibers. Best of all, it’s not itchy and anyone can install it. Ultra Touch has an R-value from 13 to 30, depending on the thickness and width of the roll. R-value is the resistance a material has to the flow of heat. The greater the R-value, the higher the resistance. In addition, Ultra Touch is formaldehyde free.

It is nice to see green building products being used nationally and worldwide, and also the demand for such materials has risen dramatically. We should all be thinking of our planet Earth in any way we can. Just look at the auto industries, bucket trucks, boom trucks, and even crane trucks are going green.
