Hi Stuart, I post you again the room drawing with the new layout. This week I'll do the work on the wall and moving the door, and I'll upload new pictures after that. Room internal dimensions will be 2,46m wide x 3,40m deep x 2,40m high Tips for the plastic on the panel and the french clear are great! Thanks again for giving help. Stay tuned for upcoming pictures and rew measurements after room modification! Giacomo

OK, theoretically you need a total of 237 sabins of absorption for that room, which means the equivalent of 22 square meters of open window. (A window that measures one square foot has exactly one sabin of absorption. One square foot is about 930 square centimeters). So, you need at least 22 m2 (square meters) of "perfect" absorption in that room. The total surface area (all walls, floor and ceiling) is about 42 m2, but the floor and doorway take up about 10 m2, so you have about 32 m2 of possible surface. So you need to cover about two thirds of the entire surface area of the room. The front wall is about 5 m2, and so is the rear wall, so if you cover those completely then you have about half of what you need. If you do a ceiling cloud of about 4m2 then you should be getting close to the right amount of absorption, (considering the treatment you already have on there). - Stuart -
