As I said in another thread, I'm gonna start building my own garden studio in September.
For the construction of the room, I've been advised to use wood rather than
parpen, as it is more breathable, thus letting low freq escape.
What's your opinion?
Building a new studio using wood?

dj, parpen translates as masonry in english - is this correct? If that is the case - I have to answer that yes - an exterior wall constructed with concrete will have more mass than a wood frame wall- and will keep ALL frequencies from passing through as easily as a wood wall - but I have to ask - aren't you concerned about outside noise getting in as well?

The right French spelling should be "parpaing" but French is not an easy langage. Parpaing means concrete block / breeze block.parpen translates as masonry in english - is this correct?
Well actually I checked in the dictionnary, and parpen is the US translation for Parpaing.. Thanks for the concrete block translation anyway, that sounds more appropriate.The right French spelling should be "parpaing" but French is not an easy langage.

The nearest neighbours are 15 meters away. The building will be isolated in a garden, I'll build a room in a room, with the help of your book that I've bought, though it left me puzzled as I haven't yet found explanation on how to build a room from scratch, ie what type of material to use for the outershell (structure), and how to design the inside of the room (walls shape etc..)but I guess I need to do more reading!parpen translates as masonry in english - is this correct?

More reading will help you some with the later - but not the former. I don't explain how to build a shell because that wasn't the goal of my book - there are plenty of god books out there in good building practices for buildings in general. Perhaps you should purchase yet another book.
