Help understanging room within room construction
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:56 am
I am planing to build a room within a room (not myself), so 4 new double stud walls and a ceiling, in the middle of an existing room, but I still don't understand a few things probably due to lack of knowledge in basic drywall framing.
The room is going to be used for playing electric guitar and bass (one or two players)
Please see drawing attached.(new walls in red) The existing floor and ceiling are both concrete.
So far, as I understand it, the framing of both new walls are attached to the existing concrete floor
and just the outer wall is also attached to the existing ceiling. Does that mean the inner wall is only supported by the floor? pretty sure I am missing something here
My wall plan is 2 5/8 sheets with Tecsound SY50 between them on each side and 2 layers of insulation.(air gap)
How do I get the ceiling to have the same level of TL? I suppose I need to have double ceiling, but I still don't understand how to construct it.
Can the bottom ceiling rest on top of the inner walls without being attached to the existing ceiling or outer walls?
Any help would be much appreciated!
