John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

Hi, I'm the guy with the rockwool question.

Still thinking of the cheapest way to treat my room. Now, I'm thinking of fibreglass board.
I read the coefficient chart in the John Sayers' recording manual, which stated that the 100mm thick fibreboard would absorb very even at most frequencies.
I wonder, is this a solid fibreglass board?
Because I was talking wih my friend about my ideas of treating my room, and when I said that most people use fibreglass board, he told me to buy fibreglass material, which is look like a stack of hays, the color is white, and the chemical liquid, that if they are mix together, and let them dry, they provide solid fibreglass cast.
Can I use them to make fibreglass board? If yes, it would be wonderful, they're cheap here.

The fiberglass board is dense fiberglass - same as the pink stuff in walls but much more dense. It's not the same type of fiberglass you make a fiberglass cast out of. You buy it in sheets ready to cut to size and use.

If you check the studio construction pages in Johns site there are a lot of photo's where you can see the dense fiberglass installed in walls.

Owens Corning 703 is a typical make but there are other manufacturers also.

Ari - you are not talking about this kind of product are you??
