  • AndreasB, 8 January 2006Hi all! Just wanted to post a sketch on a partition of a wall/floor construction i've been considering building. The thing is that I have another studio neighbouring…
  • AndreasB, 8 January 2006thanks for the fast reply. So I could actually just build the wall floated against the concrete wall? And that would give me more isolation from that direction? (TL…
  • sharward, 8 January 2006In short, you need mass-air-mass. The concrete wall is pretty good mass by itself, so you probably won't have to do anything to increase the mass on that wall (something…
  • AndreasB, 8 January 2006Gee Sharward you really are fast! :shock: I completely understand what you're saying. I must admit that I just found out about the fact that all the results on the STC…
  • sharward, 8 January 2006Cool -- that's better. However, we have no idea what kind of floor you're building this on. We need details, details, details on that. You may need a structural engineer…
  • AndreasB, 8 January 2006OK this sketch will show you.. it's about half a meter or more..I know this since I plugged an old sewerpipe that was left open in the floor. My guess is it'll hold..…
  • AndreasB, 8 January 2006This is the onlt english .pdf I found on their products, not sure if the Noisekiller Yellow is in there, but it be worth the time checking out.. They also have a…
  • sharward, 8 January 2006Nothing about Noisekiller Yellow Glue or anything even close... But it's Fascinating stuf nevertheless! :D . I was especially intrigued by pages 70-77. So much so that I…
  • AndreasB, 8 January 2006Yup the CDM was what I first ordered from Vibratec, but for a 16 m2 floor they would charge me 1000 Euros; that would include the elastomers, metal studs and a bucket…
  • AndreasB, 9 January 2006And here's a pic of the whole studio... you may wonder why I put the "live" room to the right, but it has to do with the fact that that's as far away I can get from the…
  • AndreasB, 9 January 2006errr. no, do you mean that if I would angle, say the walls in the right room a couple of degrees that would give me a higher reduction of sound? I'm not looking for a…
  • knightfly, 9 January 2006Angled walls (as in, opposing walls NOT parallel to each other) has two main purposes - one, when angled a total of 12 degrees or more from each other, it stops flutter…
  • AndreasB, 9 January 2006Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I understand the idea of having a room without constant distances between walls but I mean, we talk 16m2, it's not big, so I need…
  • AndreasB, 10 January 2006So it's better to do it as depicted or could I just add angled walls inside a squared isolated room? Well the first sketch was wider than 700pixels and larger than 150kb…

  • knightfly, 10 January 2006So it's better to do it as depicted or could I just add angled walls inside a squared isolated room? You can go either way; for compactness' sake, making your inner mass…
  • AndreasB, 10 January 2006Cheers! I can see why it would be more expensive, but what if the angles or not enough or something is missed in the calculations, isn't it a lot easier if the walls are…
  • AndreasB, 10 January 2006"NoiseKiller Gul är ett giftfritt vattenburet dämplim med mycket hög förlustfaktor avsett för laminering av bl.a. golvskivor. Det är möjligt att minska utstrålningen av…
