We’ve been enjoying Marmol Radziner Prefab’s new blog quite a lot.  This entry is quite a humorous and interesting one.Marmol Radziner Prefab » From our pants to your house: Denim insulation at the Venice House

Jeans come in all styles - skinny jeans, boot cut jeans, “Mom” jeans, and now, one more cut can join the pantheon: home insulation. That’s right, we now use insulation that comes from none other than the good ol’ blue jean. The insulation is made from 85% post-industrial denim and cotton fibers that are sourced from factories that make jeans. The insulation contains no chemical irritants and requires no warning labels compared to traditional batt insulation. Our factory staff likes working with the cotton fiber because it is not itchy, unlike traditional fiberglass insulation.
