Thanks for the response Glenn, sorry, I think I was a little unclear, I meant the types that are like a normal 4" thick panel trap except they have beveled edges to fit in the corners nicely (I considered the filled-in style like your Tritraps but ultimately decided on the straddling panel for cost effectiveness.)

I'm wondering about the difference between these beveled traps and a normal rectangular panel trap where the sides sit off the wall. Is this a cosmetic difference only, or does the additional exposed fiberglass provide any additional absoption? I'd like to do this for the looks aspect, but I don't want to sacrifice any absorption for the sake of appearance. Does beveling the side and having it fit flat against the two surfaces reduce the total amount of absorption?

Thanks,
