Thanks for the info Paul.. never thought about ceiling tiles that have insulation .. I know that Home Depot does not have Owens Corning 703 ridgid fiberglass boards.. they are very hard to find in Ottawa, in fact, I found only one place, but they would not sell me a dozen pieces or so.. I have to be a contractor and purchase in the 60 + range of pieces..

From what I calculated, I would need 6 ATS panels of 2X4' to cover 80% of my wall surface.. and that can be had for about $400 Canadian all in. So, I might just bite the bullet and save myself the headache and get them.. I to am pretty handy and I have already built floor to ceiling Bass Traps in 2 corners of my basement, but this time, I'm going to take the easy way out and just purchase them..

Cheers,
Stephane
