They look nice. Very similar to "Echo Busters" panels. I don't know what you have on the rear wall, but you might benefit from a combination of "reflective/absorption" sound treatment. I've used clear, wide packing tape, equally spaced on the the foam of the rears, to achieve a 50/50 ratio. It made a big improvement in my small room. BTW, did you dye the neutral colored cloth? I think a BOM for each panel would be helpful to others wanting to construct them. Nice job!

  2 Cases of Owens Corning 703 sound insulation - 6 panels in each case - some local hardware store $120
  1 1/2" Dry Wall Screws - Home Depot $3-4 per box
  20 yards of Burlap Fabric - Joann Fabric $2.99/yd
  20 - 1"x3"x8' lumber $0.94 each Home Depot
  Staple Gun with 1/2" staples
  
  Total Cost around $200 [I used a coupon at the fabric store]
  
  Just make your frames to fit the insulation inside, cut your fabric and staple. Done deal.

    If anyone decides to build these I would suggest the use of Adhesive spray on the fabric. This would help with positioning on the panel as well as holding the material close against the frame [no bulges].
    Also you should have the wood cut at Home Depot, I had them cut half of it to 4' lengths and then cut pieces to 27", the 27" accounts for the 2' width of the panel plus 1 1/2" of wood on each side. Make sure to drill pilot holes in the wood so it won't split.

    - What did you use to hang the panels? Any special treatment to keep fiberglass fibers from shedding? - Sboez 06:56:59 05/09/09 (0)
