Jeans for your dream home

 

 

Scientists say that jeans are ideal insulants as they are thick and also capable of holding in more heat. So out with your traditional fibreglass insulation – which contains the toxic element formaldehyde – and in with this new insulation material. The cost of the jean insulation would be 50 per cent more than the fibreglass insulation, but environmental engineers still prefer it as it’d help eradicate harmful toxins from the air. In fact, Hackensack University Medical Center is using recycled denim jeans for their hospital. Yes! Jeans could now well be a part of your newly constructed building!
