"The lightweight recycled paper modules can be installed temporarily with double stick tape or permanently with wallpaper paste." ... 8)

You could create movable panels by gluing or tacking a number of modules to  lightweight plywood for experiments with placement. What could be easier? :)

... and I wonder how much sound actually gets bounced off the 'lightweight paper' and how much goes right through it like it's not even there.

 You could also cover the complete panel with a good acoustic grill cloth for a more appealing appearance. At $30 for 12 pieces, it doesn't seem like too much of a risk :scratch:

 Hmmmm.... I wonder just how transparent or effective a 1mm cardboard really is?

Perhaps with the acoustical pattern, if there is space behind the pattern, it could be filled with acoustical recycled cotton that would add to the absorption qualities although I think that the pattern is meant to disperse more than absorb sound.

Cool product.

Bryan, I wonder if those would accept some sort of urethane where it would actually reflect the waves. After you applied a thick coat of urethane, you could then paint them the color of your walls.

So many good mod possibilities at $2.50 a pop I might have to try these! :drool:

I think with the design intended to reflect rather than absorb, there should not be too much concern about the sound bouncing off whatever hard material is used behind them.

 This reminds me of people using fast-food drink trays for panels but I think the drink trays are much thicker and denser.

 My final concern would be fire issues. I wonder if they need to or would provide a MSDS (material saftey data sheet) with them

Reminds me too now that you mention it but IMHO they look nicer than drink trays.
My final concern would be fire issues. I wonder if they need to or would provide a MSDS (material saftey data sheet) with them
Good point about the fire issues but not much different than most wall paper I would suspect.
Better than most polyurethane foam.

Scott.

I'd want to see the product and see how dense/stiff it really is.  A coating on the front might help the paintability.  If there are cavities in the back, which I suspect there are, then I'd likely try something like fiberglass resin in the back to fill in the cavities and provide more stiffness.  Anything water based would likely be an issue with a paper based product.
