There is some seriously great information on this board! That wall construction pdf is great. Just wondering if anyone has used this stuff. I have used the older stuff--703?--and I have a client who needs to tame a too live recording space. I'm a recording engineer/mixer and I sometimes get called in to consult on client's room construction. I called Owens Corning and was surprised to find out that they won't sell to anyone other than licensed contractors. I have some contractor friends, so I suppose I can get some, but geez... I couldn't even get a price out of them! I'm in LA, so someone must have it in stock. Thanks for the help Steve
I've not used this, got a link to specs? Couple of possible sources in this thread - http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... 57&start=0 If you find other sources, please post in the materials area (link above) HTH... Steve
Looks almost identical to unfaced 703 in performance, but probably better aesthetically - looks like we might have a new "holy grail" to search for... Steve
Hi I bought several bundles of the 1" SelectSound from CWCI Insulation in City of Industry, [removed]. Ask for Brian, it was 78¢/ sq ft for the 1", and $1.14/ sq ft (or so) for the 2". The black facing is a bit fragile, but installation is a lot quicker than making fabric-covered frames, and since my place is an old movie theater is was perfect for the projection wall. Hope this helps, good luck!
Joe, thanks for the source. I see you posted it in the materials section too, we appreciate it almost as much as the guy from that area who's gonna be looking for it next... Steve
