Where to get rock wool insulation

Where to get rock wool insulation


Anyone know where I can pick up rock wool insulation? Home Depot and Lowe's don't seem to have anything except fiberglass and cellulose. I'm in Los Angeles. This is for a home studio, so I really do want the denser, more soundproof stuff. Thanks! Geoff This is for a home studio, so I really do want the denser, more soundproof stuff. Dont know how much denser you can get. The cellulose insulation when you blow it in a wall can take the panel right off the wall. Dont know how much denser you want. ED I know Roxul is a brand of rock wool - see if you can find someone who carries it or check their website ( http://www.roxul.com ). If you are looking for noise control I came across called AcoustiBlok that may be worth investigating in addition to the insulation. Haven't used it yet myself but thought I'd mention it. They are at http://www.acoustiblok.com . Thanks, guys. I am off work tomorrow and my goal is to find a contractor supply store that carries rockwool. As to why rockwool and not cellulose, I am not 100% sure. I believe it has something to do with the density of the actual material. Most of the studio construction websites I've visited say to use rockwool and not fiberglass or cellulose....
