Insulation Supplier

[jpq]

Does anyone know a reasonable (cheap) supplier of a soundslab (e.g rockwool flexi or alike) insulation? It's for stud wall insulation and must have good sound deadening properties.

Thanks

Cheers! I've found a number of suppliers on ebay but all seems to be loft roll... not dense enough for a stud wall sound barrier.

I've also found extruded polystyrene ebay but i'm not sure of it's sound properties... any ideas?

Thanks

Eps is a lot cheaper but is not as dense as the slab so will not be as sound proofing.

I did some extensive sound reduction work on my bedroom ceiling 9 months ago, so I looked around for the cheapest suppliers. I live in London so thats where I was looking.

You can buy several densities of rockwool from the following places:

1. Kitsons: http://www.kitsonsthermal.co.uk/contacts.htm
2. NoiseStopSystems: http://www.noisestopsystems.co.uk/Price_List_Page_2006_Page.htm
3. http://www.customaudiodesigns.co.uk/soundproof_pl.htm#amw
4. sheffins: http://www.sheffins.co.uk/contact.htm
5. ccf: http://www.ccfltd.co.uk/contact.asp

I found CCF and sheffins to be the cheapest, but remember to phone around different branches as not all branches offer the same prices.
