80 million plastic PET bottles are collected each year from the rubbish dumps and landfill sites of our throwaway society and end up as ISOTHERM Thermal Insulation in the ceilings and walls of buildings throughout the nation.

By using recycled PET bottles in the manufacture of ISOTHERM, Brits Nonwoven is not only manufacturing a safer, more people-friendly roof insulation, we are helping to create income for some of the country's poorest people.

ISOTHERM keeps building interiors warm in winter and cool in summer. Maintenance-free and made from 100% polyester, ISOTHERM is pleasant to touch and simple to install. There are no loose fibres that result in itching so therefore no protective clothing is required.

ISOTHERM complements 'Green building' the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use energy, water and materials; and of reducing the impacts buildings have on human health and the environment.

By its very definition ISOTHERM is an energy efficient product; reducing the warming and cooling needs of interiors and it also using less energy in the manufacturing process than fiberglass alternatives.

Humankind's imagination has created great innovation and, in turn, great waste. The challenge is, through the reuse of imagination, to recycle this waste into products that enhance lives and preserve our environment. ISOTHERM Thermal Insulation is one such product.
