I rec'd my "foam" yesterday....
I bought 48 1' square tiles of the "Wedgies" in blue for $64, w/ no S&H fees off eBay. (using Buy It Now, the deal is there...)
I called Carlos at the company after ordering to confirm the free shipping, and see if any colors were out of stock. He was very nice, confirming all colors available, and tellling me to just deduct shipping fees in PayPal.
After shipping, he sent me an email w/ a UPS tracking number. (I like that..)
The foam arrived yesterday in a little, tiny package....
I opened it, and it looked like a blob of solid blue spray in "hard foam", wrapped in 60 layers of Saran Wrap.
After unwrapping *POOF*, it inflated to about 4 feet tall, 2 feet wide.... It was worth the price of the foam just to do that... My cats freaked out!!
The foam looks deformed at first, but takes overnight to restore it's proper shape. The tiles are perfectly square, the color is nice and consistant. I thuinbtacked a bunch of them to the wall (temporary test...), and they DID reduce the ringing I hear when clapping my hands in the room. This was using only about 10 tiles.
My only gripe is that the tiles are actually 11 3/4" square, not 12" as advertised. I plan on mounting them in groups of 8 (4x2) on pegboard or something similar, and was hoping it would cover edge to edge.. Not really a big deal, just a caveat...
My only question is this... This is a "spongy" (though kinda dense) sort of "foam rubbery" foam, which is good because it can't be "dented". Is the Auralex foam like that too, or is it more like styrofoam? (stiffer, ridgid...)
Also, the acoustic and properties and fire safety properties are posted on the manufacturer site, and compare favorably with Auralex. (Fire safety is "self extinguishing, good enough for California class B...)
Just an FYI for anyone looking for inexpensive mid/high frequency acoustic treatments that are "ready to go" out of the box....
