Silk facing for absorption?

Posted by tpcarter (A) on January 22, 2007 at 10:34:34

I'm planning to make some absorption panels which have high WAF ...

*Three 2.5'x4'x3" boxes spaced across a 9' wall

*the wavy "over the veranda" fiberglass panels as backing

*2" of fiberglass insulation

*topped off by pillow bunting to prevent fiber escaping

*covered and prettified with a silk scarf, stretched over the frame

*each box held out from the wall about 1.5" or more

Questions: Does this sound feasible in general? And will silk work as the first layer, allowing sound in to the box (or does it have some reflective quality?)

Thanks!

Tom
