Old Mineral Wool – The Work of the Devil?

Anyone who’s had to work in an attic with old mineral wool insulation has felt the enduring, burning itch for days afterwards.  Likely, you’ve suspected this diabolical insulation was the work of the devil but never had any proof.

Well, it turns out you’re right! Mineral wool is the work of the Devil, and we now have proof.

BlueGreen Group has uncovered evidence in a dark Etobicoke Ontario attic that Mineral Wool Insulation IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL, if not manufactured by devils. Not only is it itchy, but it’s heavy and only covers 30 square feet!

 

Mephistopheles – likely the inventor of Mineral wool – once wrote:

I must confess, my stepping o’er
Thy [attic] threshold a slight hindrance doth impede;
The wizard-foot [mineral wool] doth me retain.

 

It all makes sense now! What better way to end the year than by burning all your attic clothes encrusted with the infernal fiber? As an antidote, we highly recommend wearing P100 breathing masks and a string of garlic to ward off the effects!
