When purchasing drywall, one of the most important things to ask about is insulation. This is something you may not think about at the time of purchase, but may greatly regret later on.

Luckily, Capco are drywall insulation experts and are here to give you some information on both thermal and acoustic insulation so that you can understand how important this feature is for your next drywall purchase.

Thermal Insulation

Thermal insulation prevents the escape of hot or cool air from the inside of a house to the outside. Therefore, thermal insulated rooms stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Insulation has become an essential part of the building process. CAPCO provides insulation products that are lightweight and therefore, prevent stress on the roof.

 

Thermal insulation is what will make a space cool in summer, warm in the winter, and generally just more comfortable all year round. It is highly recommended that you have your drywall thermally insulated if you don’t want to freeze when it’s cold and sweat when it’s warm. Even spaces in temperate climates could greatly benefit from thermally insulated drywall.


Capco understands the importance of thermal insulation, and that is why we provide the following, lightweight, thermal insulation products:

Acoustic Insulation

Acoustic insulation or sound proofing prevents the escape of sound waves from a room or sound transmission from room to room in a house. Acoustic insulation is designed to deflect, absorb and dissipate noise to keep sound levels at a more manageable level.

 

Acoustic drywall insulation is not spoken about as often as thermal insulation is, but it is just as important. When drywall is not properly insulated, it can give the room it is partitioning simply awful acoustics. This means that conversations and phone calls may sound tinny and echoey. It could also means that you may have very little privacy and people on the other side of the partition may hear your every word.

 

Good acoustic insulation absorbs and dissipates sound, making the noise level within the partitioned space far more manageable. Capco offers various acoustic insulation products such as:
