I have been searching for acoustic materials for bass traps and the like here in the UK. Corning 703 is not really available over here but Rockwool makes a very near equivalent called RW3. The easiest and, so far, the cheapest place to get it is from studiospares www.studiospares.com

Just done a complete studio build and got most of my bits through these guys. I'm based in London - I think they are in hampshire.

www.makingwavesaudio.com

Extremely helpful and did me an unbeatable deal on my soundproofing and treatment materials. Website not the easiest to navigate so get them on the phone 01962 884266

I'm off to make some music!

Very cool.

It may be helpful to list the products, (rock wool, Knauf, mineral fiber, type of fabric and framing, if any) that you purchased from them. Also, listing costs for each will help as well.


Thank you!
