Hi - I hope you don't mind me jumping in on this thread but I'm considering the option of filled corners instead of straddling the corners and I thought this was the most relevant place to ask my question. The reason for opting for triangles is I'm tight for space and straddling is going to take up a lot more rrom.

My question is, would corners filled with triangles at 300x300x420mm (11.75x11.75x16.5") be effective for low end absorbtion? I see the sizes quoted in this thread are using larger triangles but my dimensions are based on using 1200x600mm slabs of insulation (8 triangles).

My room dimensions were posted in this thread and so far I've constructed 4 traps for the walls (1200x600x100mm). Also, slightly off-topic sorry, but these 4 traps will currently sit 25mm off the wall - is that gap better than nothing or would they be better off flush to the wall if a bigger gap isn't possible?

Thanks,

Andy
