Owens Corning 703

I am using this material to build out a music room in the basement - I have glued/tacked 1 inch sheets to my open ceiling between floor joists. My designer has suggested covering the ceiling with cloth to use the whole ceiling area as diffusion.

My question is will this keep fiberglass from floating around since there will be approx 5 inch gap between the fiberglass and cloth? I know most applications for bass traps for example, involve adhesion of the cloth to the fiberglass board...thanks.

I would not hesitate to cover your entire ceiling with cloth to prevent any loose material from falling your way. I have been in the insulation business for over 40 years and you don't want any insulation fibers falling your way. They also make metal rods to help support the insulation. They are inexpensive, probably 20 dollars for your room, and extremely easy to install, just place between the studs and they are made pre cut to almost any size you need. The glue will loose adhesion over time so you should do something more to keep the insulation in its place. Owens Corning 703 is fairly rigid so I believe you will be fine if you cover the ceiling with cloth. Good Luck and make sure to post some pictures when your done.
