"Denim insulation is a soft thermo-acoustic material comprised of 85% cotton and velvet fibres,"
"The raw material is sourced by collecting, sorting, and shredding unwanted denim and cotton textiles. The fibres are then bonded using a small percentage of polyester fibre to form the final insulation product."
"Recycled denim clothing is stripped of items such as zips or buttons and is then shredded into small pieces which are then treated and pressed into insulation mats,"
"This means the final composition is primarily cotton."
Denim insulation is a soft thermo-acoustic material made primarily from recycled cotton textiles, typically about 85% cotton and velvet fibres. Raw denim and cotton garments are collected, sorted, stripped of hardware like zips and buttons, then shredded into fibres. The fibres are treated and bonded with a small percentage of polyester to form insulation batts or loose-fill. The product is available in forms suited to different installation locations, offering thermal and acoustic properties while repurposing unwanted clothing. The final composition remains predominantly cotton, making the material an environmentally friendly insulation option for homes.
