Did I buy the right stuff?

[CMonster]

Went shopping for supplies for the DIY absorption panels last night. Not sure if the <a href="http://www.armstrong.com/resceilingsna/prod_detail.jsp?item_id=44839">Armstrong ceiling tiles</a> I bought were correct as they are only 5/8" thick. What does the fiberglass look like? Soft? Hard? I was going to order Owens 703 from RealTraps but they aren''t selling it anymore (<a href="http://www.realtraps.com/products.htm">http://www.realtraps.com/products.htm</a>). Suggestions?

<DIV>I cannot tell if that is equivalent to Owens Corning 703 or 705. Being only 5/8" thick is not good. With 703 you need at least 1" to be effective below 2kHz. With 705 you might get by with 5/8", but you'd be much better off with 1" or 2".</DIV><BR>

<DIV>You should call the local Owens Corning dealers and order what you need. </DIV>

Go to the web and punch in Owens, there you will find how to contact your Owens dealers in your area.<BR>Took me a few tries to find the 705 I was looking for.<BR><BR>Al

Man did I get lucky with ordering the 705 from realtraps, I wonder why they stopped selling it?<BR><BR>

As much as we like to help the Do It Yourself community, we are no longer able to get rigid fiberglass in boxes small enough to ship by UPS or FedEx.<BR><BR>----------------</blockquote><BR><BR><BR>I stopped by Lowe's this morning and was told the minimum order was half a truck load (this was straight from Owens-Corning). I'm waiting to hear back from the local sales rep to see if I can get a single box...

Check out <a href='http://www.mcmaster.com/' target='_blank'>McMaster-Carr</a> and do a search for fiberglass sound insulation. They have many different sound absorbing materials and panels.

just double or triple layer the fibre panels within your acoustic panel
