MILTON, ON, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Roxul Inc., the producers of Roxul insulation are drastically expanding their product availability in the U.S. this Independence Day weekend. Roxul has partnered with Lowe's to bring Roxul products into 227 Lowe's stores in 13 states, covering much of the east coast, starting July 1^st.

Roxul insulation has been available through Lowe's by special order only, but will now be readily available in store. "American homeowners are looking for high quality, energy efficient insulation that delivers comfort beyond what traditional residential insulations can offer," said Rory Moss, Vice President, Residential & Interior Solutions, Roxul.

Availability at Lowe's means homeowners can purchase the product when they need it."

The high quality of Roxul products are sought after by homeowners and contractors because of the fire resistant, water repellent and sound absorption properties. Home renovation television shows such as Income Property and Holmes on Homes, have increased the awareness of Stone Wool insulation such as Roxul.

Starting on July 1^th, Lowe's will offer Roxul's Safe 'n' Sound fire and soundproofing insulation, that significantly reduces noise transfer between rooms.
