Re: Acoustic/Thermal insulation

Stel,

Have a look at the threads in this section, plenty of information available.

Also check out Custom Audio Designs website, its full of information on all the different aspects of sound proofing.

Re: Acoustic/Thermal insulation

Using Rockwool will be fine and will give you good thermal insulation as well as soundproofing. From what I remember they are available in different thichnesses.

Once completed you can also use rockwool to make sound absorbing panels in your HT. Have you looked at the Rockwool website, loads of information.

Hope that helps,

Pemberto
