I did 3 layers between on my Drum room wall. and isolation is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
Can I plasterboard the other side of my walls?

Are you filling the entire cavity with fibreglass insulation? I am not sure I can afford that...
Not necessary; you can use an adaptation of this method

(check my post on Nov. 8)
And just use slightly thicker than stud depth, retained against the gypsum by the strapping across the studs.
If you're using wood studs, build the frame on the floor first, fasten the strapping across the backs of the studs using large head roofing tacks (at least 1" long) then stand the frame up, fasten in place, insulate, and put the gyp layers on... Steve
Excellent, perfect information again. Many thanks.
Just thought:
Would I just be better off building the inside wall out of bricks or concrete blocks again? Seems much denser and cheaper than 4 layers of plasterboard...
