Product Features

Proven Performance

Engineered for high thermal and acoustical performance, helping maintain temperatures, absorb excess noise and provide more comfortable room conditions.

ECOSE® Technology

Our patented, bio-based binder is a smarter alternative to using phenol formaldehyde. It’s been foundational in our commitment to sustainability.

Easy Install & Handling

Highly resilient insulation recovers quickly to full thickness for a snug fit. Cuts easily, resists tears and installs quickly with low dust.
