New Room in New Zealand - Walls, STC, Drums questions
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2004 7:57 am
Hi there,
John designed this for me in the design forum and it rocks.
I can really only afford one stud wall for the live room.
Please find following my plan for the live room wall construction.
My questions are:
(1) Does this look OK, (will it work!!) What I am trying to do is utilize the existing exterior wall for some STC value without touching it.
(2) Any ideas of the STC of this wall. I plan to record acoustic drums and eletric gtars and want to keep the neighbours happy who are about 10metres (32feet) away.
(3) I keep reading about "resilent channels". Do I need one between the stud and first sheet of wall board on the inside wall. Can you buy resilent channels if so what do they look like?
(4) Stupid question but how do you keep the rockwool from falling into the airgap?
(5) I will build another wall exacly the same as this inside wall between the control room giving me a double wall here. Is that the idea?
Thanks
JohnG
