We were attracted to Sean Desmond’s Bonded Logic display at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Francisco last week because it was full what looked like blue sponges.  The material is a new and natural insulation product, and it gets its color and character from recycled blue jeans.

We may still be selling our old blue jeans in Russia, but brand new scraps and clippings from the manufacture of denim clothing in the United States goes to the Bonded Logic factory, where it is spun, quite literally, into a material that looks like blue cotton candy before it is compressed into a more durable form of insulation—UltraTouch Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation, to be precise.

The insulation comes in sheets, to be cut and put in place—making it an amateur-friendly product for the weekend remodeler.  The recycled product also has no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and doesn’t use formaldehyde in its manufacture.  It comes in a number of R-ratings, appropriate for different regions of the country.
