rigid fiberglass in the UK?

[protein]

I'm looking to buy some rigid fibreglass in the UK but "rigid fibreglass" seems to mean something else over here if you put it into search engines.

Has anyone located a cheap source over here?

Also look for rigid mineral wool and rigid rock wool, which are basically the same thing as rigid fiberglass. Knauf is a large manufacturer of these products, and they have sales offices all over the world. Here's their web site:

Thanks Ethan. You know I'm looking for the stuff because of your articles. You should get commission from these people.

copy paste from their pdf didn't work too well... try them or sheffield insulations.

Thankyou very much.

I'm looking at all this kind of thing for September when I should have enough money to build myself a reasonable temporary home studio.

I don't suppose anyone here lives in Reading and wants to go halves on a new studio?

I'm really struggling to find this stuff for under £100 (approx $180). Surely there must be somewhere selling small amounts for cheap.

Anyone here in the UK managed to find any?

join this site, check with Paul (here's his Studio Build Diary) - he's a bit over the top, but if he can't help you find things they probably don't exist.

Hope that helps - BTW, read the FAQ there before you ask much - these guys are overall pretty serious... Steve
