Acoustic Treatment-Wall Panels As Artwork

There isn't batting as such - but there is another layer of material (can't be too specific - sorry) between the external cloth and the mineral wool. In the case of the GIK's, if there was batting involved and exposed to the outside, it would increase the upper mid/high frequency absorbtion of the panels.

Does this extra layer reduce the amount of shedding?

Please post pics, I know I'd be interested in seeing how your turned out. That design sounds like something I was thinking of trying myself.

o.k. if I did this right, here they are:

Here is a source for cotton insulation in bulk.

This would solve the shedding problem completely and be much more pleasant to work with.

If you're interested in cotton based products, PM me. I have a source for quite a bit at more reasonable prices.

I am trying address a highly sibilant room with lots of windows-which also doubles as a living room, play room and dining room here in NYC. (ahaaa the pleasures of Manhattan inches). Id like to try some wall treatment which wont get me divorced. In searching, I recently have come across two firms out of the UK who are doing wall panels with an artistic bent-exaclty what i would like to do. they are:

kbuzz: did you ever pursue the acoustic art panel route? cost? effectiveness?

The first ooks particularly compelling, I am not sure or pricing but shipping to the states will probably be cost prohibitive. Does anyone know if anyone is offering a similar arty acoustic panel here in the states. I am not a DIY and would not even try to attach fabric to say a gik panel. Thanks all for suggestions

I can get these but they're very expensive. The only way they're even remotely affordable is if you buy several of the same print. Each print has a $100 setup fee in addition to the cost of the panel itself.
