Guest Marty Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I was researching the blow in insulation product and heard that it causes lung cancer, I thought about this when i was cleaning my box fan and i notice the blow in insulation stuff cake up on my fan. I wonder if they will treat this in the same manner as the asbestos contamination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingman Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Have you looked into this new Denim insulation product? It's basically recycled jean denim, no harmful chemicals, no itch, mold and fungus can't grow in it, you can literally lay your newborn on it if you wanted. The added bonus is that it's good at sound insulation as well. I believe they offer that blown in insulation of the stuff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
