Where to get Semi rigid insulation

[John Sayers]

Let's start a list of outlets. Here's one I found at HR that will help those in the NY area.

What about Australian sites?

[John Sayers]

James - in australia the product you want is Insulco semi rigid. It is available through any plaster supplier. it comes in 1" and 2" either plain or with a black cloth cover.

It looks like this.

And whats it actually made of?? rockwool,fiberglass,polyester

Is it just normally insulation?

Also for wall and ceiling insulation, is 75mm polyester blanket alright?

Thanks
James

[John Sayers]

It's made from compressed fibreglass James hence the semi rigid. It will stand up vertically on it's own.

What makes it superior to other products is the absorption in the low end relative to it's thickness.

Yes - the polyester blanket is OK but the 75mm is almost = to the 50mm Insulco. I assume you are refering to the grey Dacron blanket??

John,

Have you encountered CSR's "Acoustel"? It is (semi) rigid, with an aluminium foil on one surface.

Hey welcome ausrock - great someone to answer glass questions :)

No I haven't come across it and I can't find it on CSR's website. Have you got a link to it??

John,

Thanks for the welcome .

There is some CSR literature here somewhere so I'll try and find a website link, etc. I have/had 3 2400x1200x50 sheets of Acoustitel(sp) here which is gradually getting used.

I had surgery for a hernia on Monday afternoon , so give me a couple of days to find that CSR link.

John,

This is the link to CSR/Bradford. There appears to be quite a lot of info in their "Design Guide" section, as well as product info. I couldn't specifically see Acoustitel there, but that is what the Newcastle distributors told me it was called.

This link is from the [acoustics] newsgroup on Yahoo. I already posted it on HR.com, but I guess it can't hurt to post it here.
According to the guy that posted the link this supplier will ship to anyone on the internet.

I haven't bought (yet) so I wouldn't know a price on it.

Great link! - I had been wondering where to get 703 type insul from. That Reily place is like 2 miles from my house! What luck.

I've always purchased my semi-rigid fiberglass from these folks. Great service and fair prices. I thought I'd list it for anyone who is in Southern California and is looking for a source for fiberglass.

BTW John, nice websites.

I just bought a box (which contains 12 4x8 sheets) at CWCI in the City of Industry, Ca.

They Charged $.65 per sq. ft.

Hope this is helpful.
