After numerous unsuccessful attempts to locate a supplier of the Owens - Corning 703 or 705 acoustic insulation product who would permit me to bring it into Australia ( I was prepared to buy it by the container load if necessary ) I have now given up trying. Contacting the so-called specialists at the head office of the major brands distributing acoustic insulation products has also been somewhat fruitless, as most of these guys don't seem to have a handle on their product range, and even less knowledge about the acoustic insulation industry The simple rule seems to be: if they dont sell it by the truckload every five minutes, it simply isn't worth their time bothering with. Therefore: IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A SIMILAR PRODUCT TO THE 1 INCH THICKNESS 703 OR PREFERABLY 705 MATERIAL THAT IS AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA - I WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE IF THEY COULD SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH ME. Many thanks, Wayne P. ( N.S.W. Australia )

Ask for 3 (or 5) lb/ft^3 density glass wool or 4 (or 6) mineral wool. Tasman and Bradford are two in Australia. No doubt there are more companies.

I did some research on this recently and spoke with a company called Haddon Insulation.

They seemed to know what I am talking about and gave me the number of a Technical guy in CSR/Bradford. Name is Joe TIMMI 03 9265 4000.

I never got around to going further with this as my studio hit a budget hurdle and I keep the research i'd done to date in the hope of pickup up again soonish.

My aim was to speak with this guy and then get names and phone numbers of distributors all over Australia for the local guys on the forum.
If someone wants to pickup where I left off, go for it...

For info..
