o2so Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Can anyone please advise on what I should use to fill the back of painting frames such as the one in the photo? It should be something very effective because there is not much thickness available inside the painting frame. And something relatively easy to cut to measure. These paintings go on the back wall.

BATMAQN Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I might have used acoustic insulation like they sell at Bunnings Earthwool I believe pretty easy to cut and it's light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 This is a motor or engine room insulation material that comes in sheets The air conditioning industry uses it to make compressor rooms quiet and can be used in wrapping air con pipes Is approx 15 / 20 mm thick Also has an adhesive layer Some variants also have a foil layer as well I use this insulation for speaker building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results may depend on what you are trying to achieve. Towels may be helpful with taming high frequency reflections, while higher density materials could be more effective for lower frequencies. The problem you may have is that the painting itself could be too reflective for highs and the frame may be too thin to be effective for lows. But by all means give it a go: it will work much better than a flat wall and the WAF should be pretty high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
