Hello Eveyone,

Looking for suggestions. I have an unfinished basement, with unfaced
fiberglass insulation in between the floor joists. I hate the stuff.
Anytime I add a circuit, soon I will be adding bridging, or just
walking on the flooor, I get fiberglass on me, boxes, and in my air.

I will be removing the fiberglass to shore up a bouncy floor, I want
to NOT put it back, and wondered what are my alternatives. I want
insulation that won't be declared a hazard on a couple decades(yeah
fiber glass is heading there). So after this ramble, can anyone offer
a suggestion?

What about that denim/cotton insulation? I've heard that it's pretty decent
stuff really, and it doesn't shed microscopic particles of irritating glass.



I saw something like that on "this old house", now my memory serves
me, they said it offered sound dampening properties above fiberglass
because of its density. Might be an option, I have a 4 year old that
jumps too much and an office in the basement. I wonder how 'readily'
avalible this stuff is. Thanks for your suggestion.
