i have two rolls of fiberglass im not using for anything so im going to try this,
is it ok/safe to use fiberglass in a small room, my room is about 13ftx10ft
i was thinking of making 4 frames at 90cmx50cm, wood 120mmx22mm
ant a 5th frame at 150cmx90cm, wood 120mmx22
with holes drilled out on all 4 sides
when these are packed with the fiberglass and only covered with weave frabic is that alot of fiberglass to be using in a small room that wont really be ventelated apart from opening a door or window when its not in use
Well i'm not gunna say i'm a professional on the physiological effect of fiberglass. In fact, I'm not even sure if what i have - glass wool - is the same as fiberglass. I can tell you that you'll need to ventilate the stuff for a few hours (it was a windy day when we had it out..not sure if that makes any difference) as it smells pretty bad.
What's going to make a big difference in the frequency spectrum that the abosrber affects is the depth of the trap. I believe the ratio is somethig like the depth equals a quarter of the total wavelength of the lowerst frequency absorbed:
depth/4 = lowest frequency absorbed
You may also want to consider building some bass traps? It's quite easy to do soe, using the "pizza slice" method.
