Drywall Insulation

Acoustic and thermal cavity batts for steel stud drywall partitions. Friction-fit, no adhesive, no staples — in stock at our Edenvale warehouse in 51mm, 63mm and 102mm sizes.

Our Drywall Insulation Range

Drywall insulation fills the cavity between steel studs in a partition wall — dramatically improving the acoustic and thermal performance of the finished partition. A wall without insulation is just a wall. A wall with insulation is a proper barrier. Match the batt thickness to your stud profile and friction-fit between the studs before boarding.

Drywall insulation cavity batts

Drywall insulation (acoustic and thermal cavity batts) fills partition cavities for significantly enhanced acoustic and thermal performance. The most common size is 1200×600mm in 63mm batts for use in 63mm stud partitions — but we also stock 51mm batts for 51mm studs and 102mm batts for 102mm stud cavities. The batts friction-fit snugly between studs without any adhesive or staples, are pushed flush against the back board and then boarded over. Simple, fast and effective. Cuts noise transfer between rooms by over 50% and significantly improves the thermal performance of the partition.

Superior Acoustic Dampening

Cuts noise transfer between rooms by 50% or more — essential for bedrooms, home offices, boardrooms and any partition where privacy matters.

Thermal Efficiency

Reduces heat transfer through partition walls — keeps rooms at comfortable temperatures and reduces energy usage year-round.

Friction-Fit

No adhesive, no staples and no special tools required — simply push the batt snugly between studs and board over. Fast and mess-free.

Long-Lasting

High-density construction retains its shape and performance for the life of the building — will not settle, sag or compress over time when fitted correctly.

What is drywall insulation?
Thermal and acoustic material placed inside the cavity of drywall partitions between steel studs — keeps rooms warm in winter, cool in summer and quiet all year round.
Which batt thickness matches my stud?
51mm stud takes 51mm batt. 63mm stud takes 63mm batt (the most common). 102mm stud takes 102mm batt. The batt should fill the full depth of the cavity without being compressed.
Can I install it myself?
Yes — three steps: friction-fit between studs (no staples or adhesive), push flush against the back of the first board, then board over the front. Wear gloves and a dust mask during installation.
Does it reduce outside noise?
Yes — it cuts noise transfer by 50% or more. Excellent for bedrooms, home offices, boardrooms and any partition where sound privacy is required.
Will it settle or sag over time?
No — high-density batts stay firmly in position for years when fitted snug between the studs. Do not compress the batt as this reduces acoustic and thermal performance.
Do you stock insulation rolls as well as batts?
Yes — cavity insulation is available in both batts (1200×600mm) and rolls. Both are stocked. Contact us for current availability.
