dodiano, 3 October 2009Oh they are decoupled... there is more than an inch of space between the Concrete walls and the the inner leaf... But we ought to build to the level of the Concrete…
dodiano, 4 October 2009Actually I am wrong it is not an Inch it is a bit more on the side walls I have basically as air space the Lenght of the pillar like 5 inches the wall on the far end…
dodiano, 4 October 2009Oh Crap... I did manage to cover the whole thing in the roof with Isolation... Ok Basically I am making a copycat of this project: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3743&start=15 Peel…
dodiano, 4 October 2009Oh Ok got the RC term now! You think I should decouple the hole room?? Just for te ceiling? I am more concerned on the Air Conditioning I am basically copying what it is…
dodiano, 4 October 2009I know... Unfortunatelly when the ceiling was laid it could not go higher due to Construction restrictions in the House Complex we live in... I wanted it to be 4 meters…
Soundman2020, 5 October 2009That depends on how much isolation you need! But basically you have a direct flanking path from the inner leaf to he outer leaf, so you won't have very good isolation at…
dodiano, 6 October 2009I'll be using 2 Ducts actually for the room One for the Air coming in and the other for the Air coming out!! I am planning to have some fresh Air into the Mix coming…
dodiano, 6 October 2009Hey Soundman2020 Could you explaim me a bit more the Silencer Concept and I mean using the 4 silencers as you suggest?? Is there a clear example in the Forum? Here is a…

Soundman2020, 7 October 2009From the sequence of photos you posted, you started out with one long room, put up inner-leaf walls down both sides of the long room, one long continuous wall down each…
dodiano, 7 October 2009Ok Stuart, The partition or division that is One of the 2 leafs I am building... Basically that is not going to be my only wall on the other side of the room there is…
Soundman2020, 7 October 2009I don't think you are seeing the big picture here. The problem is not the partition: The problem is the side walls and the ceiling that you are going to attach the…
dodiano, 7 October 2009Thank you Stuart... I can see my mistake now.. I am basically screwed.. Although I think I can Decouple at this stage the side walls at least and I will have to Lower…
Soundman2020, 7 October 2009That's the idea, yes. You need to cut both walls (and also the ceiling) at the places you marked in red, within the partition, to decouple the rooms. HOWEVER! It doesn't…
dodiano, 7 October 2009Hi Stuart, Actually this is what I plan to do... Basically will cut where we marked Red and will lower the actual ceiling... I don't think the pictures show it clear but…

Soundman2020, 8 October 2009Hopefully not "everything", Roberto! I think if you just remove some of the drywall then you should be able to fix the framing fairly easily, without taking it ALL…
