Green Insulation Options

Nu-Wool - GREEN Since 1949

Nu-Seal Foam Insulation System

High-performance and eco-friendly, Nu-Seal is a hybrid foam insulation system formulated with high biological raw materials and low embodied energy. These attributes make it one of the greenest foam insulation systems on the market.

Nu-Seal passes all ASTM testing for foam insulation products and carries a Class 1 fire rating.

Unlike traditional foam insulation, which is made solely from petroleum-based materials, Nu-Seal uses renewable resources such as natural agricultural oils and sucrose, reducing petroleum usage by 40–50% compared to most other foam insulation systems.

The result? A product with lower embodied energy that still maintains the strength, performance, and physical properties of conventional petroleum-based foams—making Nu-Seal a truly GREEN insulation solution.

Nu-Wool Cellulose Insulation

Nu-Wool Cellulose Insulation is one of the most sustainable insulation solutions available today. Made from 100% recycled paper and requiring up to 10x less energy to produce than fiberglass insulation, Nu-Wool is a naturally green product from a manufacturer committed to sustainability.

Because it requires less energy to manufacture and helps buildings consume less fuel, Nu-Wool significantly reduces atmospheric emissions that contribute to global warming—making it as good for the planet as it is for your home.

ECOCELL™ by CMS Green

ECOCELL™ is an innovative, environmentally responsible alternative to fiberglass insulation. Made entirely from recycled and renewable fibers using a zero-waste manufacturing process, ECOCELL™ is the first insulation batt and blanket product primarily composed of recycled cellulose fibers.

The result is outstanding thermal and acoustic performance in a sustainable, renewable package.

Owens Corning - Pink is Green

Manufactured with approximately 40% recycled glass, Owens Corning fiberglass insulation is Green Approved by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and is proven to help conserve energy.

BASF Eco-Efficiency

By minimizing air leakage, BASF COMFORT FOAM® and SPRAYTITE® help create homes that can use right-sized HVAC systems—systems that work more efficiently, run less frequently, and last longer. The result is lower up-front mechanical costs, reduced maintenance over time, and a more comfortable, consistent indoor environment.

Since 1996, BASF has utilized its Eco-Efficiency Analysis to ensure the ideal balance between performance, cost, and sustainability. This comprehensive approach—applied to more than 350 products and manufacturing processes—guides BASF in producing materials with minimal resource use, reduced energy consumption, and lower manufacturing-related emissions.
