Ceiling Insulation - R19 or R30 - AVS Forum

R13 & R30 Insulation - Big Difference?? - AVS Forum
2005年11月26日 · It might fit, but it would have to be compressed so much that it would probably lose some of its R-value. I think R30 goes better between 2x6's or larger. R13 is pretty common for wall use, but if you have staggered studs or a 2x6 stud wall then R30 would probably be …

Ceiling insulation between floors R19 vs Roxul - AVS Forum
2017年1月28日 · I seen Teds posts where he recommends the R19 being that it's cheaper than the roxul but couldn't find if he's comparing that to one layer of roxul or two. In my case a bag of R19 is the same as a bag of roxul with a 10sqft difference. I would have to get one extra bag of the roxul vs the R19 so it would only be a $32 difference.
Insulation in Basement Ceiling. - AVS Forum

Soundproofing: Fiberglass vs. Rockwool - AVS Forum
2005年4月11日 · Actually "very" relevant. Without the insulation your wall will resonate like a drum. As far as O.C. 703 Rigid Fiberglass vs. Rockwool, I've worked with both. They both are very close to being the same as far as handling. It's called "rigid" figerglass, but it's not any more rigid than Rockwool.
insulation in ceilings for sound deadining? - AVS Forum
2009年3月31日 · Then put R30 above the ceiling tiles. The posterboard prevents HF absorption, while allowing the bass to pass thru. While this was a lot of work, the improvement in bass smoothness (along with putting several exposed bass traps in the room) is amazing.
Riser and Soffit Insulation - AVS Forum
2014年10月20日 · In general, insulation should be stuffed loosely for maximum effectiveness. Therefore, you would want to get the R value that matches your depth of cavity.
