Source for Micore 300 in SE MI

Anyone know of a local source for Micore 300 in metro Detroit area?

I can get it from Amazon, but the price is high and I don't need as much as the minimum purchase amount.

Might check around and see if you can get some Roxul RockBoard (R=4.1/in.) in your area as an alternative or some Fiberfrax-Duraboard (R=2.2/in.) : http://www.fiberfrax.com/files/Fiberfrax-Duraboard.pdf

Check with acoustic isolation companies as well as insulation companies and the big box stores.

Would the Roxul Rockboard, or the fiberfrax Duraboard be acceptable as an underlayment material for a tiled hearth extension?

Yes, in Rockboard you'll want the higher density version if available.

I have seen others mention that Home Depot can order 4 x 8 sheets of Micore, might want to check with the contractor desk.

Hi, I posted a thread earlier today about Micore 300. If you don't mind it coming in two foot pieces you can order 20x72 sheets of 1/2" board for $37.45 each from mantelcraft.com and it will ship to you. My two sheet order is coming via UPS.

If you have any used office supply or building supply stores you can try to find old office cubilce walls. Most are made with fabric covered Micore 300. It will look like pressed newspaper but will have Micore stamped on the panel. I got a 5x5 panel (so two 5x5 sheets) for $5.
