Metisse Cotton insulation
Metisse cotton insulation is a sustainable and effective insulation solution. It offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties and helps reduce textile waste. Fibers & Foams offers cotton insulation under the name Ecosorb. You can choose from sheets of various thicknesses that are delivered from stock.
What is Metisse cotton insulation?
Metisse cotton insulation, also known as cotton fibre insulation, is a sustainable insulating material made from recycled cotton fibres, primarily sourced from used denim, such as old jeans. These fibres are treated and compressed into insulation boards or rolls that can be used for both thermal and acoustic insulation in buildings.
Environmentally friendly insulation
Cotton insulation reduces textile waste by repurposing recycled cotton fibres. This recycling process not only decreases the amount of waste in landfills but also helps conserve natural resources, thereby reducing the construction sector's ecological footprint.
Processing cotton insulation
Cotton insulation is easy to handle and install. It can be cut to fit a variety of construction applications, such as walls, roofs, and floors, making it a versatile choice for insulation projects. Moreover, Metisse insulation is suitable for both thermal and acoustic insulation.
Metisse cotton insulation is safe to use and is non-irritating to the skin, making it ideal for installation by both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. It contains no harmful chemicals and contributes to healthy indoor air quality.
Overall, cotton insulation is an appealing option for those looking for a sustainable and effective insulation material that not only performs well but also promotes environmentally friendly building practices.
Benefits of Metisse cotton insulation
- Sustainable: Made from recycled textile fibres, contributing to a circular economy.
- Excellent insulation value: Metisse provides high levels of thermal and acoustic comfort in buildings.
- Sound absorption: Thanks to its dense fibre structure, Metisse offers high sound absorption, reducing noise pollution.
- Easy installation: The material is flexible, lightweight, and easy to cut, making installation straightforward.
- Safe to use: The material contains no harmful substances and doesn’t irritate the skin, unlike some other insulation materials such as glass or rock wool.
Comparison with other insulation materials
Glass Wool: While commonly used, glass wool can be irritating to the skin and is less environmentally friendly. In contrast, Metisse is safe and non-irritating.
Rock Wool: Although rock wool offers good insulation properties, it is heavier and less sustainable compared to Metisse.
