Having good home insulation can help you save money on your energy bills. At the same time, it makes your home comfortable all year long through consistent temperatures. There are over five different types of insulation used for homes that can be reused or recycled. In addition, they have other characteristics and properties.
Fibreglass, cellulose, denim, mineral wool, and natural fibre are the types of insulation. Here, in this blog, we discuss whether they can be reused or recycled.
1) Cellulose
For those people who want to stay as eco-friendly as possible, cellulose is the optimal solution. Cellulose insulation can often be completely recycled and reused on-site.
When installed by professionals, hardly any excess material goes to waste. It allows extra material to be vacuumed up when special machines are used in the blown-in process and salvaged for future installation.
It consists of up to 80-85% recycled material. Cellulose is made from consumer paper products and is a renewable resource from planted trees. Cellulose is one of the most environmentally friendly.
2) Fibreglass
Fibreglass insulation is still manufactured from recyclable resources. It is not composed primarily of recycled materials. Fibreglass is an efficient option to save money on your needs.
This material could also be regenerated from demolition waste and turned into new products. Fibreglass reusing necessitates professional installation to remove and repurpose materials safely.
3) Mineral wool
Mineral wool insulation is wholly non-combustible and does not conduct heat. Mineral wool insulation can withstand temperatures of up to 1832° Fahrenheit(1000° Celsius).
This remarkable fire-resistant quality makes mineral wool the preferred material for critical applications and high risks like offshore oil rigs and petrochemical refineries.
4) Denim
Denim insulation is house insulation made from recycled denim jeans. It can be used in attics, walls, ceilings, floors, and crawl spaces. Denim is easy to handle and environmentally friendly and efficient. It is also a good inflammable material.
Denim is always treated with an EPA-approved solution during the process of producing denim that contains borate to increase the fire-resistance rating of denim. As a result, the material of denim becomes unaffected by exposure to severe external fires, and it will not contribute to the spread of fire.
5) Natural fibre
Natural fibre protects from cold weather, heat, and noise. In addition, it provides a pleasant internal climate, and balanced air humidity makes the property particularly suitable for allergy sufferers and those with respiratory conditions.
