These were a great idea, now they don't appear to sell them, or do i have the wrong company?

I think thay have been discontinued. I am thinking about something similar to make use of some excess RW3 I shall have after making some traps. I was thinking of just making something myself, but I know it wont quite be as neat a looking product.

i'd hazard a guess at issues relating to the stretchy nature of the fabric, and maybe fire safety rating....


i recently had the misfortune to be asked to re-use 2 dozen of the things....


trying to accurately hang them from ceilings, or to get them to stay tight in a corner..... an absolute PITA


never again.

Right company, and it was a neat idea, but they have stopped making them, and probably for all the reason that others have suggested.

They were difficult to assemble neatly, difficult to hang neatly, almost impossible to get multiple panels to align neatly...

They were undoubtedly very effective acoustically and very cost-effective too, but cosmetically they left quite a lot to be desired in most cases.
