Wall construction

For wall with staggered studs on a 6 inch plate, is it best to fit two layers of 3 inch insulation or just one and leave a second air gap. One side is on resilient channel, the control room side is double wallboard. All advice welcome and thanx, Bill

Aloha and welcome to the forum! :D Congrats on your studio build! Any chance you could please:

Edit your profile to include your location. This is very important, because this is a worldwide resource, and as such, material costs and availability vary widely. For example, masonry is cheaper than gypsum in some parts of the globe, whereas it's the exact opposite in other regions.

You'll probably get more of a response by doing so and this will really come in handy two or three posts down the road. It's also part of the forum guidelines: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3231 Thanks! :wink: Here's a couple of links to check out: Reference Section: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2125 Reference Section - More Useful Links: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1168 Hope these help, Aloha 8)

Many thanx Aloha for the speedy response. Have included my location, beautiful BC. Got some extremely useful info from the links, but would probably not have found them without help. This is a superb site, there's so much info here, that I might not get any more construction work done for keeping up with the news. Thanks again, Bill

Aloha Bill, You're welcome!:D And you're right, you do live in a beautiful part of the world. Someday my wife & I hope to revisit your area again. Happy reading, Aloha 8)
