Mike Holmes and ROXUL Launch Partnership

It was announced yesterday that North America's leading manufacture of stone wool insulation products, ROXUL, is now part of the Holmes Approved family of products and services. Any fan of Mike's shows is familiar with the ROXUL brand and knows that Mike Holmes stands behind the products he promotes.

PS -- I met Mike's good buddy Scott McGillivray earlier this year in front of the ROXUL booth at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Note the "Make It Right" T-Shirt!)

Mike Holmes & Roxul Launch Partnership
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MIKE HOLMES & ROXUL LAUNCH PARTNERSHIP

Toronto, ON (June 9, 2014)—The Holmes Group, in association with ROXUL Inc., is pleased to announce that ROXUL has been officially named a HOLMES Approved Product.
“I’ve been using ROXUL for years,” stated Mike Holmes, President of the Holmes Group. “It’s been an important part of building homes right. It helps make homes more energy-efficient, comfortable and healthy. I’m happy to finally have them on board as a HOLMES Approved Product,” added Holmes.
The partnership launches with ROXUL batt and board products that are specifically engineered for use in exterior/interior walls, cathedral ceilings, attics, basement walls, exposed floors and heated crawl spaces. Effective thermal performance, fire resistance, water repellency, mold resistance and sound absorption are a few of the features that make it stand out as quality insulation.
ROXUL is North America’s leading manufacturer of stone wool insulation products and offers a wide range of insulation solutions to help achieve energy efficient homes. From the summer heat to the frigid winters, ROXUL presents homeowners with far better options and results than any conventional insulation.
The HOLMES Approved Products program was designed to help homeowners choose products that support proper construction principles, such as improved indoor air quality and building more durable structures.
“As a trusted contractor and ongoing supporter of the ROXUL line up of products, the decision to partner with Mike Holmes and his HOLMES Approved Products was a natural progression,” said Mike Benetti, Segment Manager, Building Insulation – Residential, ROXUL. “As an industry leader, homeowners, contractors and builders can rely on ROXUL for insulation solutions that help save energy and create quiet and safer homes.”
Sustainability is fundamental at ROXUL. As a fully owned subsidiary of ROCKWOOL International, ROXUL is guided by the same corporate mission and responsibilities. This is especially true in the area of sustainability. The ROCKWOOL report on sustainability is global in scope and includes the group’s efforts in North America. Additionally, ROXUL produces its own Sustainability Report for North America.
ROXUL has versatile product offerings applicable to most applications on the home. When a home is properly insulated it uses less energy for heating and cooling, and adding insulation is one of the most effective ways to save on energy costs and reduce our carbon footprints.
ROXUL is a member of the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) and has received Greenguard’s most stringent certification for indoor air quality.
