I want to wrap with cloth to make sound absorbing panels for my living room. Do I need to build a frame, or can I wrap "as is" and use a staple gun?

You will need to make a frame. I made sound panels out of these and the material is relatively soft and will break apart without a frame. Staples will not be able to hold if applied straight to the roxul.

I would recommend making a frame. The material is a bit too soft by itself. I made frames and covered them with burlap and they turned out great! Cheers.

In my opinion, the Rockboard 60 needs a frame for structural support. It is not rigid enough to just wrap with fabric.

I suppose you could just wrap it as it is fairly stiff. However I placed mine in frames, which took no time to construct wrapped them in material and placed a professional and unobtrusive panel on the walls.

You will need to make a frame if you intend on attaching the cloth with stables. While the rockboardis quite firm it is not firm enough for the stables to hold. The frame will help you hang or attach the rockboard to a wall. I used a frame with inside directions of 24 x 49 per a book I read but I believe 24 x 50 will work without having to cut the rockboard. If you make smaller panels the rockboard is easily cut with a carving knife.

It would be flimsy to wrap it without a frame and I don't think it would hold its shape over time. I built a frame for mine following instructions on a youtube video. Pretty simple to do.

They are cloth-like, I think you would have to cut out the magnets to make them lay flat to staple to wood. I love how they make the room look and feel.

No. For fabric you need iron-on vinyl. This is more like what you would use to make a window sticker or letters for a vinyl banner.

The instructions say to use fiberglass which I did but the distal end of my tape is embedded in spray foam with no ill effects so far. The foam could be a fire hazard so be careful where you install it.

Yes you can. The frame I used is a bit thick but I'm sure you could use a thin one also.

I don't think that would work, unless you used something really strong, like duct tape. There's enough weight to this table cloth that regular tape wouldn't hold it.

I have used plexiglass (from local home improvement store...sometimes they will give you pieces leftover from a big cut for free) in place of the accordion thing. It is much prettier and gives you light. On one front window, I have even put Glad Press n seal wrap on the plexi to make it look "frosted" for privacy. I just use clear tape to hold it on and keep bugs out from the edges. Neither are very safe from break ins, btw. Just an idea if your accordion is too short or damaged.

Fold the material about 1/2" at the end and then you should be able to put 3 metal screws through the fabric into the frame to hold it in place . The screwing location would be ideally on a different plane than the one you'd sit on. Wrap around the frame and then screw it in, pull tight and do the same on the other side. Could use a washer or small drilled plate to provide additional support...just a thought

Hello, i install warps in the screened in porch and in house. i hand sew a seam atone end of the plastic and hang it either with a tension rod, or twine fastened to 2 woodscrews on the top, outer edge of the window frame.for the porch i sew seams at top and bottom.

Do not cut into fabric. Put a slanted board (cardboard is fine) in your cube, cover with one of your fabrics, place clothing on top and snap away. Adjust your lights for best effect.

I agree with Mr Simmons... too thin. Unless you folded it, which you will unless your windows are huge... There is probably foam you can buy for this purpose

I am sorry, I can not. We did not frame it. We used a foam insulation board.

I see no reason why you couldn't do that as long as you don't cut the hard supports. Cutting the cloth should be fine. They work very well. Hope this helps.

Cut a hole in the fabric before you insert the grommet. I use a hole punch specifically designed for making holes for grommets.

I have never tried but I agree with the other two comments, use a micro fiber cloth and you should be fine.

Let me save you the time. This is purely cosmetic. These panels are no where thick enough to absorb any real frequencies. Only the very high ones. If you are tryn to treat brick you need to go with something serious like the rockwool made panels. But to answer your question yes you can stick them to brick or really anything with the 3m tape tabs. And as far as spreading them you can do it again for looks. It's not going to make a noticeable difference unless you covered the entire space and even then it would just sound dead and boring because you would block all the highs and leave the mids n lows to roam freely.

Mine came folded up like any other cloth would be. So its up to you if you want to build some type of frame. I just hung mine up with nails.
