SPI quote for 3" OC703 and Roxul Rockwool
All,
I just got off the phone with a local SPI in Chicago area. They quoted me to following prices:
3" OC 703 (Plain) - $1.50/sqft
3" Roxul Rockwool - $0.95/sqft
I thought these prices were really high compared to what I have been reading here. What do you guys think? Can anyone give me a better place to get the insulation from in the Chicago area?
Do I really need 3" or is 2" good enough?

I would say if you're putting it in the walls, go for the mineral fiber (Roxul).
If you're using it for absorbers and covering it in cloth, go w/ the 703, it's more rigid.
The last bag of Roxul I bought (3" x 16" x 48") (64 square feet coverage) I paid about $17 a bag. The average is about $20 a bag. My supplier is giving me a good price.

OK, I called Roxul, they found only one distributor in the entire Chicagoland area. Called the number they gave me and guess what? The guy on the other end answered "Hello, this is McDonald's ..."
I'll call them again and see if the lady gave me the wrong number, I did verify the number twice though... I can't believe there is no one else that carries their products in my area.

OK, I finally found a distributor that carries Roxul in Chicago. Here is the info, their prices are very reasonable too.
A&I Supply
630-629-3009
They quoted me $20.29 for a bundle (64 sqft). (3" 3PCF stuff, 16" wide)
Resilient channel is available at Home Depot in Bartlett area (Don't have their phone # but do a search at their site)
Now the search begins for acoustic caulk, window glass and wall plates I think I have an idea where to get these, I'll post a list in the products section for everyone in Chi Town
Thanks all for your help, this forum is awesome!!

Cool! A&I carries the caulk, I had to ask for "Sound Caulk", they did'nt understand "Acoustic Caulk". It's $4.28/29oz tube.
Anyway, the construction on my studio starts next week. I had to hire a new contractor, the other guy never showed up.
All I need to decide now is the CR window, I might have to built one myself.
