4stringaxeman,

There is no such animal as sound proofing foam - it doesn't work - and it doesn't exist - and any company that is advertising their material in that manner either doesn't have a clue or is deliberately misleading their clients.

Roofing foam is no exception -

by the way - whose roofing foam are you talking about? I know that the firestone foam made for roof insulation is combustible - so if you're speaking about a particular maufacturer whose product is not (I am not aware of any) then you should name that manufacturer to save people from spending trying to locate someone.

Sincerely,

Rod

hello all you folks in Europe and worldwide check the links above

UK

Try this: Knauf Rocksilk

The variant number indicates the approximate density in Kg/m3. RS100 is roughly equivalent to OC 705 in that respect.

Easier to find than OC or Rockwool and available to order from most large builders merchants.

(Somebody please let me know if it's unsuitable and I'll delete this post)

Another in Los Angeles (Carson actually):
Pacific Insulation Company
323-278-8350
pacificinsulation.com

Roxul RXL 80 2'x4'x2" 6 pack for $32! 8pcf! (as of 11-2007)
They also have 1", 3", 4"...
Nice guys...

I'll second an earlier poster's recommendation of API in Roseville (N suburb of St. Paul) Minnesota. Nice folks there, and will sell small qtys down to a single piece.
$1.17/sf for 2" OC 703; $2.12/sf for 2" OC 705.

And another Twin Cities source:
Tri-Star Insulation
6095 East River Road, Fridley MN (N suburb of Minneapolis)
763-502-9977
Also good to work with for small qtys, although the smallest unit they sell is a bundle.
I got 8 pcf mineral wool for $0.62/sf.
They have Knauf rigid fiberglass board, but higher price than API.

Also read with interest an old post on ultratouch cotton insulation, did a search and found that there's a dealer only 3 miles away from me! So I will have to check out Acoustical Surfaces, Inc. The cotton looks like a good way to go; great acoustical properties, and looks like shredded blue jeans!

hy guys,
for those of you that are in Italy i found a manufacturer of pretty good fiberglass panels 3, 4, 5 and 6 cm thick with a weight of 105 kg/m3

contact them to find a distributer near by.

happy hunting!

I've been trying to find Johns Manville Spin-Glas Board in Reno. Can't even find a price. Look at the specs for the 2" 8 pcf boards: 125 .38, 250 .93, 500 1.10, 1K 1.07, 2K 1.07, 4K 1.07, NRC 1.05. Much better than several other products.

For Toronto I found OFI-48 2" at Glass Cell Isofab

http://www.glasscellisofab.com/contact_us.htm

It was only $1/sq' and comes in bundles of 6 panels (2x4' 2" thick). Great price and ready immediately.

Hi,
1st time poster here.Great forum.Here is where I placed my
order for fiberboard In the Richmond Virginia area.
http://www.mccormickinsulation.com/

People in Holland/Belgium

http://www.asbipro.nl/

they have the Rockwool 223 and 233 which almost have the same values as the OC stuff.

Bayinsulation.com

They carry all the OC, Roxul, etc. AND the "weighted vinyl" soundproofing sheet that Auralex sells, which the rep described as "awesome". Great location, Garland off LBJ & NW Highway. Got 12 pcs. of 703 for $119, great price.

Please note that they are primarily a wholesaler & to-the-trade resource, but the sale manager said they'd welcome small orders - they do sell to the home theater construction industry and know the business. I'd suggest you respect that, and don't get too "consumery" when you call; could put an end to a good thing. Know what you want and don't quiz 'em too much - do your research here.

Their main warehouse is in Tyler, TX, so it can take a few days to get stuff in if not in stock; mine took 24 hrs.

They didn't have rigid fiberglass comparable to density 703 or 705, but they do have rock wool of the following densitites:

60 kg/m3
100 kg/m3
120 kg/m3

I suggest calling them to get a quote.

I am working with Mike Loftus. The rigid is Johns Manville and specs identical to Owens.

I picked up a couple of 6lb, faced, 24x48 panels, and will use them to mock up my frames.

Good prices compared to online Owens.

Kenyon Noble Hardware in Bozeman, Belgrade or Livingstone stocks or can quickly get Thermafiber brand rock wool (distributed by Hilti). 2'X4'X4" 4pcf, roughly $15 sheet.

In the uk I bought mineral fibre (100KG and 60KG) from acoustipro turned up the next day. I think it was knauff stuff - did the job nicely. Also they do fabric with a foam on the back which I used for my absorbers.

Roxul RHT40 four inch board list out at better than 1.0 through the 125hz to 4khz frequencies. Is there any reason to use a thinner board that does not deliver in the low range? 320 square feet is $332.12 delivered.

I found the major sites on the web and emailed a request and received a list from each which I then went through until I found what it was that I was looking for. Roxul RHT40 4inch for 97cents American a square foot. What I am interested in is there any reason to use less that 4 inch? The four inch board delivers better than 1.0 125hz through 4khz. 320 square feet for $332.13 with tax delivered.
