Hi all,
The civil works for my dedicated home theatre on 3rd floor is completed and have painted cement primer on the walls. Electrification work with concealed pvc pipes for speakers for a 7.1 system was already done during construction.
Room Dimensions:
===========
24 feet length and 14 feet wide.
No windows. 2 wooden doors for entrance.
Second row for seating has been raised by constructiing a platform with a passage through the middle of the platform.
Room accoustics:
==========
I am about to start treating the room. I have gone through several threads, including that by santhosh, which was very informative. But I am confused regarding certain aspects:
1. Material to be used:
============
Whether to go in for Glass wool or Rock Wool or Wood Wool.
My son is a medical student and he has warned me against using glass wool as it is not good for health in the long run, even if we use glass wool tissue to cover it. A accoustic consultaint who is doing large studio projects has recommended to use Rockwool covered with RP Tissue.
Rockwool Slabs consist of long fine fibres spun from molten natural rock and bonded with a thermosetting resin. Rockwool Slabs have the best combination of thermal insulation and fire protection properties.
RP Tissue is a non woven, thin, flexible, uniformly bonded mat composed of technically resistant suitable Glass Fiber, distributed in a random, open porous structure, bonded together with an inert material.
Is rock wool brittle and will it get powdery ??
Opinion about using Wood Wool ??
I have contacted a dealer at Chennai to supply Rockwool and RP Tissue at the following rates:
Rockwool Slabs from S.Elumalai Insulation Services,Chennai,Tamil Nadu,India,ID: 4392372730
Rock wool slab 48kg density 50mm thick @ 135/square Meter + 5% tax
1 Bundle = 8.4 sq: meter
1 square meter = 10.417 Square Feet
So square feet rate is Rs. 13.16/- square feet
RP Tissue is Rs.15/- per square meter
Wood Wool is supplied by a company at Bangalore:
VINARDAX - WOOD WOOL BOARDS
They have quoted Rs.250/- + 5 % tax
Per sq: feet will come to approximately Rs.31.25/-
I am confused regarding selection of the material?? Requesting help..
Will post photos soon...
