Insulation Products and Support for Drywall Contractors

From fire resistance to sound control to general comfort, drywall is a crucial part of building performance. Insulation is a natural partner to drywall and is often included as part of many drywall scopes. Many ambitious contractors see this as an opportunity — a way to expand services, boost the value of every job, and stay competitive as more contractors add insulation installation to their drywall projects. 


IDI partners with drywall contractors who want to intentionally incorporate insulation jobs into their work, whether that’s expanding into new scopes, tightening coordination with other trades, or improving overall performance outcomes.

Combining Insulation and Drywall Work

Drywall contractors work in assemblies — walls, ceilings, shaft walls, and partitions — that must meet specific performance standards. Drywall insulation is the key for achieving benchmarks for fire ratings, sound control, and higher-value assemblies. Combining insulation with drywall work allows crews to fulfill performance requirements without changing the fundamentals of how they already work. Partnering with IDI makes adding insulation to your jobs simple. We understand sequencing and coordination, which allows us to help contractors find smooth and efficient ways to integrate insulation into rated and non-rated assemblies. This ensures your projects remain compliant, on-spec, and on-schedule, while still improving your bottom line.
