Wickes Heavy Density Insulation

hello, I have been searching threads re diy bass traps and have found some really helpful posts. I have found this product in Wickes (UK) which is 200kg/m3 density. from reading post I understand that this might be too dense for bass traps, is that right?. what I like about this material is that it is relatively rigid (would stand up on its side). it comes in 30mm sheets (pack of 5). my idea is to wrap in plastic (to stop fibres leaking out), then cloth (decorative) then velcro to room corners. I want to avoid making frames and really make it as easy, quick and cheap as possible.If this is too high density would it be better to just use 1 or 2 sheets instead of the 3 together I was planning (ie 90m total).
one other question is whether there is a more fire-safe way of sealing them without using spray glue etc?, maybe fireproofed fabric wrapped round with parcel tape?

any thoughts are well appreciated.
many thanks
Joe.
