Travis, I understand your point of view. What a consumer is paying for in a GIK panel is both a product and a service IMO. Therefore one might see more of a value in the GIK panels than another would. There was nothing wrong with you suggesting that Zetajazz build his own panels. However, I think that the overall tone of your original post was a bit cynical. Sure, anybody could wrap rockwool in fabric and attach it to a wall but, as Rod stated, the performance of that product is not certain. One could make an educated guess based on materials used but, at best it would still be a guess. It matters not to me wether someone buys their panels from a manufacturer such as GIK or goes the DIY route but, Glenn has stated in the past that he spends a great deal of effort (and money) training his employees to make the panels properly or better stated "the same way every time" and have the finished product tested for accurate absorption coefficients. There is value and consumer security in GIK panels that can't be attained DIY. Still for those DIY warriors such as yourself, There are commercially available products for you to peice together and be proud of your craftmanship and frugality.
I say all that to say: It's all a matter of preferrence.
PEACE!!
