Good Morning All,
I have yet another Duct board question (s), My plan is to put to cover the lower half of my room with linacoustic insulation, and the entire front wall, then cover it with GOM. I have been reading many threads here for months, I believe this is a good starting point, then I was planning on adding additional bass traps etc, if necessary later on.
I have been looking for the insulation at some local contractors, I found one that is planning on retiring, turns out, he was a Friend of my fathers, before he passed away. I was asking him about the insulation, he took me to his storage area, and showed me 12 sheets of 1" thick, 6# density foil backed rigid fiberglass board. It was 4' by 10 ' sheets. He said he would sell them to me for $150.00.
I was not planning on using this type of insulation, and I don't have time to study up on it , he plans on auctioning everything off, and they are doing an inventory , and I wont be able to by it after that.
I do know that there should be an air space behind this type insulation for the sound to pass through, How much space would be recommended, also as I mentioned, this is foil backed, will sound pass through the foil backing and into the air space, or should it be removed , it seems th pull off easy, and finally, can I stick to my original plan, and use this type insulation instead of linacoustica, and sill do the wall coverage liked I planned, or is this type better used to make panels
Thanks ED
