Architectural Record Names Henry UltraTouch™ Recycled Denim Insulation Product of the Year for 2025

UltraTouch’s performance, sustainability, and ease of installation earns top honors in the Building Envelope category.

Kimberton, PA (December 11, 2025) – Henry, a Carlisle Company, North America’s leader in building envelope products and solutions, is honored to accept the Architectural Record Product of the Year Award for UltraTouch™ Recycled Denim Insulation.

UltraTouch was awarded top honors in the Building Envelope category by a panel of architects, designers, and industry experts who evaluated entries based on inventiveness, functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics.

Made from recycled cotton denim, Henry UltraTouch offers exceptional acoustic and thermal performance in safe, easy-to-install batts.  UltraTouch Recycled Denim Insulation has become a top choice for builders, contractors, and homeowners due to its no-itch natural fibers, strong soundproofing, and sustainability benefits.

“We thank Architectural Record for recognizing UltraTouch with the prestigious Product of the Year Award,” said Jim Wueste, Vice President of Waterproofing at Henry. “UltraTouch Denim Insulation offers a groundbreaking alternative to traditional fiberglass and mineral wool insulation, delivering the high-performance builders demand in a sustainable, easy-to-install solution.”

UltraTouch features thousands of tiny air pockets that provide strong soundproofing and thermal protection. The denim insulation is Class A fire-rated and treated with a borate solution that retards flames and inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Because it’s manufactured from natural fibers, UltraTouch eliminates the need for specialized installation tools and protective gear. Crews can work more comfortably without navigating potential irritants from chemicals, fiberglass, or mineral wool. UltraTouch helps divert approximately 20 million pounds of textile waste from landfills each year.
