NATURAL FIBER INSULATION
ultratouch cotton insulation

Better for the Planet

Our natural fiber insulation is 100% recyclable, so it helps to reduce overall landfill waste. Made from mostly recycled cotton, the manufacturing process uses far less energy than non-decomposable fiberglass insulation.

Better for Your Health

Because it's made from natural fibers, it feels as soft to your skin as your own clothing; there's no itch or irritation. While fiberglass is listed as a possible cause for cancer, our insulation is so natural THERE IS NO WARNING LABEL of any kind.

Simply a Better Choice!

Compared to fiberglass insulation, our natural fiber insulation:

  • Doesn't require a warning label
  • Has mostly recycled content
  • Non-toxic; no respiratory or other safety equipment recommended
  • Retains R-value in colder conditions because it is denser
  • Has superior acoustical properties; controls airborne noise such as airplanes
  • Requires less energy to manufacturer
  • Does not contain formaldehyde
