• Totally safe and easy to install with no protective clothing required.
• Ensures a safe indoor air quality.
• Fully recyclable and uses recycled material in its production.
• Provides good acoustic properties to help keep your home or commercial environment quiet and free from noise pollution.
• Non-Itch is unaffected by water.
• Long term stability and durability 50 years +
• Every one tonne of plastic bottles recycled for the manufacture of Non-Itch saves one and a half tonnes of carbon emissions into our atmosphere and so has a dramatic positive impact in our efforts to save our planet.
