How to hang acoustic treatment from the ceiling...

[ParsonsMatt]

in an apartment?

I've been doing a lot of research, and since I am in a fairly large room it appears that the biggest problem area for my room may indeed by the first reflection point located on my ceiling. I live in an apartment, and I don't want to ruin the place, and I REALLY don't want anything falling out at an inopportune (ie any) time.

Any ideas?

in the crafts area in walmart they have these pins that apparently quilters use. They're like a thumb-tack but way longer and look like a little "T". I've never used anything else to fasten auralex. Just like big push pins basically.

Depends what you're attaching to the ceiling? Will it be foam or rockwool? Will it have a frame? Ie- how heavy?

I haven't actually made the panels yet, but if I am hanging it it will probably not be in a frame -- unless I can make something really light that would be suitable. It's just foam that I am planning on currently. Specifically Ultratouch insulation.
