wall (live room to control room)
- double layer of 1/2" gyproc (staggered seams) on RC;
- 2"x4" wood studded wall on 16" centres;
- 4" air gap
- 2"x4" wood studded wall on 16" centres (staggered in relation to the "live room" studs)
- double layer of 5/8 gyproc (staggered seams) NOT on RC.
Question: Should we insulate (fibreglass) BOTH walls or just one? Maybe 2 different types of insulation?
We had originally planned on 'glassin just one of the walls in favor of a larger air gap between the walls. Thanks in advance.

Insulation Isolation?
Originally posted at johnlsayers.com, topic 6118.
the air gap is still considered to be there with both walls filled with insulation. so yes you want to fill both walls with insulation
Kevin - RC is of no benefit when there is only one side of a stud wall with drywall. It only helps when there is only one stud wall with drywall BOTH sides. i.e. You don't need it.
