Eco-Friendly Insulation: When It Comes To Insulation Don’t Think Pink, Think Purple!

Deciding on the best way to insulate your home or project can be a daunting task.
You want the most bang for your buck but you know that traditional pink fibre glass insulation is not the most healthy, ecological or easy to use material.  Don’t feel that this choice has to be one of compromise, there are effective products on the market that are eco-friendly, health safe and do not carry the risk of that terrible itch.

WALLTITE ECO™, made by BASF, is a purple, medium-density polyurethane insulation/air barrier system.  It was designed to improve upon the energy deficiencies of fibreglass, cellulose and rockwool insulation by addressing the issue of convection current heat loss.  This industry-leading product also boasts the rights of being a more ecologically-friendly choice as it is made from recycled plastics, renewable content and contains a zero ozone-depleting blow agent.  Testing has proven that Walltite ECO™ does not off-gas any harmful toxins of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) supporting the fact that this product is not only a safe option for the environment but also creates a healthy environment for family and future occupants alike.

This alternative does carry a higher initial cost but like most eco-products, cost savings are seen over time, after the initial installation of the product.  One of the most attractive features of this product is that it doesn’t pose the threat of that pesky itch, an added treat for those undertaking DIY insulation projects.

Don’t feel you have to compromise, Walltite ECO™ is a highly effective product that will provide you with substantial energy savings over time and will eliminate the environmental and health hazards of traditional insulation products.  Klondike Contracting will keep you posted on the latest eco-friendly products and contracting solutions.
