RMWessels, 6 November 2011Hello everybody, For some weeks now I have my final planning for building a new garage, with a "studio" on the top floor. I have been reading this forum for the past few…
Soundman2020, 6 November 2011Hi RM. Please check the rules for posting: you seem to be missing something... :) Also, you double-posted this, so I removed one of them as they were identical. Anyway,…
RMWessels, 6 November 2011Hey Stuart, thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for the double post, did not notice that! Thanks for removing one. And yeah, I kinda skipped the "Read this before…

Soundman2020, 7 November 2011Yep! So maybe bow would be a good time to take a look at it? This is the one I'm talking about, (click here) . It's not the interior that I'm talking about! It's the…
RMWessels, 7 November 2011Wow, you really take your time for this mate, thanks! Let me explain things more properly. Well, you got a point there. The base design for the building will be so that…

BriHar, 9 November 2011Perhaps a quick description will help. A leaf is a mass-layer . In your diagram, starting at the left, you have your first mass layer comprised of the concrete tiles…
RMWessels, 9 November 2011First of all, the layer of wood will be placed under the roof tiles, since thats normal.. according to my contracter. After the wood, I place only the rockwool and then…
Soundman2020, 10 November 2011Both will work, both are correct two-leaf systems. But the one on the right will work better, because there is a much larger gap between the two leaves. To make that…
BriHar, 10 November 2011Now I've lost the picture. You show concrete roofing tiles with an inner layer of wood. Where does the drywall figure in this? When I refer to outer layer I mean't the…
