Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

But we alluded to this in the intro.

Odd Lots

Data centers in particular need insulation.

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

How much of this deal is the expectation that you're going to be getting a lot of business from the data center build out as well?

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

Oh, we will get a lot of business from data centers, but not just on the insulation.

Odd Lots

Data centers need roofs too.

Odd Lots

Data centers need waterproofing.

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

Very much so.

Odd Lots

Data centers often need lumber-related products.

Odd Lots

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

Wait, sorry, say that, how much exposure?

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

Single digit percentage of the revenue.

Odd Lots

But in terms of growth, it's growing very, very fast.

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

How much is it commercial?

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

And is there a lot of overlap or do companies tend to specialize in one or the other?

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

It's fairly evenly split.

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

They have a little more residential than commercial, but they have both.

Odd Lots
Brad Jacobs on His Big Bet on Building Insulation

They have both.

Odd Lots
