Owens Corning 703 Semi Rigid Fiberglass Board 2 Inch Thick 6 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Owens Corning 703 semi‑rigid fiberglass board is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of acoustic and thermal performance in a wide range of environments. Each board measures 24 inches by 48 inches with a precise 2‑inch thickness, providing a consistent R‑value of 8.7 that significantly reduces heat transfer while maintaining structural integrity. The board’s Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 1.0 ensures that virtually all audible frequencies are absorbed, creating a quiet, controlled acoustic environment. Certified to ASTM E84 Class A fire rating, the product offers the highest level of fire resistance for safety‑critical installations. Additionally, the boards contain an average of 53 percent recycled glass, reflecting Owens Corning’s commitment to sustainability and responsible material sourcing.

Manufactured by Owens Corning, a leader in insulation technology, the 703 series has been trusted by professionals for over a decade. The unfaced surface allows for flexible installation in both wall and ceiling applications, and the semi‑rigid composition provides easy handling without sacrificing durability. With a product weight of approximately 30 pounds per board, the material is robust enough for demanding projects yet manageable for on‑site installation. The boards are designed to interlock seamlessly, reducing gaps and ensuring uniform performance across large surface areas.

Technical specifications include a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot, a compressive strength that exceeds industry standards, and a moisture resistance that helps prevent mold growth in humid conditions. The board’s dimensional stability ensures that it retains its shape and performance characteristics over time, even when subjected to temperature fluctuations. These attributes make the Owens Corning 703 board a versatile solution for commercial studios, home theaters, recording booths, and industrial facilities where both sound control and thermal efficiency are paramount.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of applications, the Owens Corning 703 board excels in professional recording studios where precise acoustic treatment is essential for accurate sound reproduction. Its high NRC rating eliminates reverberation and standing waves, allowing engineers to capture clean, uncolored audio. In home improvement projects, the board can be installed in walls, ceilings, and floors to improve energy efficiency while reducing external noise intrusion, making it an ideal choice for residential renovations, multi‑family housing, and office spaces.

Industrial users benefit from the board’s fire‑rated Class A classification, which meets stringent building codes for safety in factories, warehouses, and processing plants. The material’s thermal insulation properties help maintain consistent interior temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs. Additionally, the board’s recycled glass content aligns with green building certifications such as LEED, supporting projects that prioritize environmental responsibility.

Installation is straightforward: the boards can be cut to size with standard utility knives, and their semi‑rigid nature allows them to be mounted directly onto framing members using mechanical fasteners or adhesive. For acoustic applications, the boards are often paired with fabric coverings to enhance aesthetic appeal while preserving acoustic performance. The versatility of the 703 board makes it suitable for DIY enthusiasts, contractors, and acoustic consultants alike.

FAQ

What is the recommended installation method for the 703 board?

The 703 board can be installed using mechanical fasteners such as screws or nails, or with construction adhesive designed for insulation materials. For acoustic applications, it is common to attach the board to framing members and then cover it with acoustically transparent fabric to maintain its sound‑absorbing properties while providing a finished appearance.

Can the 703 board be used in humid environments?

Yes, the board’s moisture‑resistant formulation helps prevent water absorption and mold growth. While it is not a waterproof barrier, it can be safely used in areas with moderate humidity, such as interior walls and ceilings, provided that proper vapor barriers are installed where required by local building codes.

How does the fire rating of the 703 board compare to other insulation products?

The Owens Corning 703 board is rated Class A under ASTM E84, which is the highest fire‑rating classification for insulation materials. This rating indicates that the board exhibits low flame spread and smoke development, making it suitable for applications where fire safety is a critical concern, such as commercial studios, public buildings, and industrial facilities.

Is the 703 board compatible with fabric coverings?

Absolutely. The semi‑rigid surface of the 703 board is designed to accept fabric coverings without compromising its acoustic performance. Acoustic fabrics allow the board to blend aesthetically with interior décor while preserving its NRC of 1.0, making it a popular choice for visible acoustic treatment in studios and performance spaces.

What warranty does Owens Corning provide for the 703 board?

Owens Corning offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and guarantees the board’s performance specifications, including R‑value and NRC, for the duration of the product’s expected service life. Detailed warranty terms are available through authorized distributors and the Owens Corning website.
