There needs to be some sort of way for me to attach hooks to the panels in order to hang them (with spacing) like a picture frame. Now I havent handled a Rockwool batt before, but Im assuming I cant just go screwing in hooks into it. It would have to break or crumble, hence the wodden frame idea.
Its very difficult to find the best solution. There is so much info out there, and Ive seen so many wood base panel desgins, and so many without that I dont know which to do. Worst thing is, most dot really have pictures of how they are being mounted. :(
Not to mention the material to cover the things in. Ethan mentioned Burlap in another thread and I was scratching my head silly til he pointed out its also referred to as Hessian in the UK. HAHAHAHA!! Now I know wtf Burlap is!! LOL!!
Also, this 703 stuff is near on impossible to find here in my City. Rockwool yes, but then I have the problem that the only stuff I seem to be able to find is 80kg - 100kg density, and I have read MANY times that it should be around the 40-50 mark and that any more could have an adverse effect.
Tis soooo hard. But Im tryin to soak in as much as possible, and try to make the BEST decision/choice.
So yeah, all info has been greatly appreciated. The more the better.
Oh yeah, and pics would be FAB!!

It is not that wood sides are wrong, but you have to understand that it is covering up the sides. With the sides open it is going to absorb more sound.. If all you can do is wood sides then I would go for it. One thing you can do is cut holes in the wood to let sound in.
