Hi all:)
Been watching and reading this site for a long time, getting lots of great ideas and such.. thanks a lot..
Hoping someone can help me answer some questions:)
I looked everywhere in my area and cannot find any rigid fiberglass.. But I can find lots of Roxul Safe and Sound...
I would have preffered getting Rigid fiberglass because the info on here and elsewhere tells me it works great when layered together 4" and wrapped to make very good low frequency bass traps.. Plus it is simple, I like simple:) ..But since all I can get is Roxul I guess I'll have to build a frame to put this stuff in right? I think I can do that easy enough..
I would like to make 7ft tall traps and stand them across my corners just like I would have done if I had Rigid Fiberglass...(I am unable to secure traps to walls) But obviously If I just stack this stuff 7ft high and wrap it it probably won't stand up to well..
First question, If I do use 6 inches thick of Roxul, 2 ft wide and 7 ft tall would it be just as effective or better than 7ft of 4" thick 2 ft wide Rigid Fiberglass?
Second question, If it is just as good or better , do I have to build a frame for it (not a big problem) or is there another way of somehow making them stay together..(stand up) maybe a wire mesh type frame? probably too complicated:(
If I do make a frame (1"x6" board) could I just cover them up with good material and thats it, or should I go with the plywood in the front type and seal them leaving a space in between the plywood and Roxul.. And how would I seal them (so air won't escape)? just cover the entire trap with plastic to make it air tight? that would be easy enough I think:) Comments suggestion, would be greatly appreciated.
