Owens Corning 703


I am using this material to build out a music room in the basement - I have glued/tacked 1 inch sheets to my open ceiling between floor joists. My designer has suggested covering the ceiling with cloth to use the whole ceiling area as diffusion.

My question is will this keep fiberglass from floating around since there will be approx 5 inch gap between the fiberglass and cloth? I know most applications for bass traps for example, involve adhesion of the cloth to the fiberglass board...thanks.

Try rock wool instead of fiber glass, products such as Roxul Safe n'Sound. The rock wool is less of an iretant than fiberglass.

As for facing materials, for my bass traps I bought fabric from Ikea and used it to cover the Roxul. Just be sure that the material has a tight weeve.

For my ceiling I do the following, I suspended two layers of insulation between the joists and left an air gap between the insulation and floor above. The first layer looking from below is a 3/4" thick fiberglass ceiling panel which is faced with a thin dimpled sheet of plastic. The plastic provides a clean surface for the ceiling. The second layer is 3" thick Roxul. check out my system picks to see the end result.

This has deadened my room substantially but, my room is small and it needs it.

I hope this helps
Good luck with completion of the project. I hope you post some pics in your system page when it's done.
