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.

Larry,

Thanks for your response and your studio is beautiful - I have viewed it many times as a reference.

The "trap" above me is more for high frequency damping with regards to the 703 on the ceiling - I have several 1" by 5" boards between each joist at 30 degree angles - towards the front of the room which actually act as a diffuser. So I think it accomplishes both objectives - high frequency damping and diffusion.

I am building floor to ceiling bass traps in 4 corners of the room.

My contractor is concerned about the fiberglass, so now he has me thinking!

Thanks for posting your experience with your room - it must sound awesome.
