Improve Indoor Air Quality

JM makes a difference in the air that you breathe

Recent research shows that more than a third of U.S. homeowners believe the air inside their homes is cleaner than the air outside. However, the Environmental Protection Agency says a growing body of evidence suggests that the opposite may be true. Studies have shown that indoor air quality can actually be worse than the outdoor air found in the largest and most industrialized cities.

To address the growing concerns about indoor air quality, and sensitivity to environmentally-responsible building products, Johns Manville revolutionized the building insulation industry by offering the first complete line of Formaldehyde-free™ fibre glass home insulation. These products deliver the superior thermal and acoustical performance you expect. They also help promote improved indoor air quality and the healthier and safer home you want by reducing your overall exposure to formaldehyde.

Why is Formaldehyde-free™ insulation so important?

Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free™ fibre glass insulation is naturally white and helps you improve indoor air quality and achieve a healthier and safer home by reducing your overall formaldehyde exposure. And using Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free™ fibre glass insulation can help you achieve that reduction and follow the California Air Resources Board's recommendations to use formaldehyde-free building materials, including insulation, so that it emits little or no formaldehyde.

Make sure your ducts deliver only clean air.

The quality of your indoor air can be affected by growth of mould or mildew in the ducts of your HVAC systems. There are hundreds of types of moulds that can induce moderate to severe symptoms in allergy sufferers. Learn more
