We made the Home studio kit for small home recording studios. We do have much bigger and better bass traps the AFBT02 and AFBTX and both have independent acoustic test results from SRL Technical Services.
And the reviews are genuine taken form our customers who have purchased our goods via Amazon. We have recently had our tiles tested against the market leaders for an article by Sound on Sound ( due out soon ). The reason we are cheap is that we manufacture the tiles and dispatch direct from our factory and only sell online and via our factory shop.
Cheers

foam part can be seen on the facebook page

It does absorb very high frequency content granted, but I doubt much below 1kHz in most applications, which makes for a very uneven sounding, boxy room with maybe an overbearing mid range due to the lack of top.
I did bugger about with foam at one point, and have since moved on to proper trapping. The difference is night and day.
The proper 1200x600mm Rockwool or Knauff traps are faaaarrrr superior to any foam. I got mine from GIK.
Foam is really not a good purchase IMO.

We are already looking in to using Rockwool type composites amongst other materials in our bass traps, Its quite easy for me to make sample products in the factory, as we already have upholstery, fabrication, lamination, foam cutting, screen printing and sewing sections in the factory. and we are underway with developing new bass trapping products.
Having read quite a few SOS articles on making bass traps we are thinking of trying a few new options to see how they work, I know the standard is rockwool and / or the use of heavy layer vinyl material. However I was reading some SOS articles where it was mentioned materials as diverse as sand could well be a good medium as it is both dense yet still flexible as to allow the absorption of lower frequency energy, the analogy “bouncing ball thrown against sand as opposed to a wall” was used in one SOS article.
So we intend to test various combinations of material composites against each other and against some of the most well known products out there.
Obviously Rockwool is the product everyone looks to so we do intend using it however their data sheets don’t look to impressive especially for the density,

It shows the RW5 100 Kgm3 Rockwool as having quite low absorption figures for a 75mm thick section “they didn't show the thicker 100mm results” I didn't see the Knauff NRC values on their website.
RW5 75mm Rockwool 125HZ 0.40 250HZ 0.75 500HZ 0.90
If I compare this with a slightly thicker foam tile 100mm in 25 kg foam I was expecting vastly better results from Rockwool
foam 100mm thick
BLOCK100 acoustic foam tile 125HZ 0.42 250HZ 1.07 500HZ 1.10
http://www.proacoustic.co.uk/nrc/block100.pdf
both figures taken direct, without an air gap at the back , I do understand the air gap behind the trap alters the figures dramatically
As with all our acoustic products when we get the final test results we will be supplying only online and direct from our factory to keep our prices low.

You could make frames to fit the windows as you said with MDF and put layers of insulating material on them, we did used to make sound insulation for the floors of cars with our old company, and used recon foam as one layer which is much denser than standard foam similar to carpet underlay maybe this in conjunction with other layers may help along with some thick acoustic tiles Our BLOCK100 have the best overall NRC values
As I said above we make in large quantities.around 1800 tiles each tile we do a run, and now and again we have a blip
15 boxes going very cheap if anyone wants them . posted in the classified section

Pyramid tiles now on sale on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KNV72H0/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_fcS6...
We have put them in at the same price as our wedge tiles, even though they are much more expensive to make due to the machine time and stripping, the tiles are a smaller version of our standard pyramid tile the AFP45 however are 305mm (12") square,
The microphone screens have also been made and we will have them online next week w/c 7/09/2015
we only made 80 as a trial run, we are not sure how well this new product for us will sell.
