denim insulation
Denim insulation has been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few years. Sometimes when looking at houses online you can see people even advertise that they have denim insulation in their home. But why is denim insulation so popular? What are some of the benefits of denim insulation? Here are just a few:

It's Sustainable - Usually about 85% of the denim insulation is made from recycled materials. These items would ave previously been sent to the land fill but were used to make this great product.

Great R-Value - It has great R-Value and usually results in lower energy bills.

Better Home Acoustics - The acoustic rating of denim insulation is around 30% higher than other types of typical insulation and creates a quieter home atmosphere.

Better for Your Health -  Denim insulation typically contains no/low VOC. It also doesn't irritate the skin like traditional fiberglass insulation does.

Denim insulation is a great product. But there is a down side though... it's expensive. It costs almost twice as much as traditional insulation. But if you are able to handle the cost, denim insulation is a fantastic product that I hope will be around for years to come!
