Heard about UltraTouch, a recycled insulating batting made of denim. How does it compare in R value, cost, availability with other insulation especially fiberglass and blown in insulation?

Can it be blown in or does it have to be put in when walls, ceilings are exposed?

Anything--price, availability, durability, etc.--against it?

Thanks
