yofreshh, 18 January 2006Fellas, As of this moment I'm building a new studio in my house in Amsterdam ( 4.8 x 3.6 x 2.2m ), I choose for the double wall construction. I'm building it in this…
yofreshh, 18 January 2006Dan, thanks for replying so fast, the situation I'm in is as follows: The studio is going to be build on the ground floor, this is solid concrete, I have 2 neighboors on…
yofreshh, 19 January 2006Dan, I just build a floating floor in the room, now here's the thing. I have a big stereo in the kitchen which is next to the room I want to build my studio in. When I…
Dan Fitzpatrick, 20 January 2006the worry of something like this is what kept me from floating a floor. i chose instead to just use the concrete as my floor. concrete already isolates low frequencies…
len-morgan, 22 January 2006I think what this means is that the calculations for the floating floor (or the variables you plugged into them) are wrong somewhere. You should know that you can't just…

len-morgan, 24 January 2006yofreshh, The only part of the pink wall you might want to keep is the vertical part. As Steve said, the cement wall just as it is will be your outer leaf. Don't do…
yofreshh, 24 January 2006Steve, Len Wow this is great news for me thanks! Very usefull stuff, I allready started building so now I still have time and room to correct things. :oops: I have only…
len-morgan, 24 January 2006The only wall where you MIGHT want to put dry wall on both sides is the wall that divides your space from the rest of the house. The other three walls you want to leave…
yofreshh, 25 January 2006--- IF I drywall both sides of the orange wall instead of leaving them open, would this make MUCH of a difference or just a little bit ( let's say 3 layers on the…
len-morgan, 25 January 2006The problem you have is that the cement wall isn't going anywhere so if you drywall both sides of the orange wall (all the way around), you are creating a triple leaf…
