Today Westcott Homes made the decision to the switch to EcoBatt Insulation in our new homes. We’ve chosen this “green” product for energy efficiency, sound dampening and (of course) environmentally friendly reasons.
Energy Effiicient and Organic
Often times, even “environmentally friendly” products use a lot of energy to produce (solar panels for instance). Insulation, however, saves 12 times more energy the first year in use than it takes to manufacture it. EcoBatt is made from highly renewable organic materials and does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors used to make traditional fiberglass insulation. It is made from bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based products commonly used in insulation. Instead, EcoBatt is created with sand, one of the world’s most abundant and renewable resources, and post-consumer recycled glass.
