SOUNDBOARD + 5/8" SHEETROCK
Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2003 9:58 am
You guys are so helpful I just had to post another inquiry...after much reading/searching on this site I found myself bogged down by the massive amount of information regarding wall construction. Before finding this site I had purchased 5/8" drywall and 1/2" soundboard (which was recommended to me by several people in the construction business). Now I've read up on Thermafiber SAFB and intend to fill my walls with that.
However, and here is the actual question, I am wondering what is the best method of erecting the walls using the materials I already have. Should I screw the drywall to the wood studs and glue the soundboard to the drywall or vice-versa? (I don't think adding a resilient channel is cost effective for me, as this is strictly a project-demo studio that will be used mostly for producing my own music. The space is rented and I don't want to go hog-wild on construction costs). Worst-case scenario is needing to add an additional layer of sheetrock. If I understand the posts so far, I need to screw one layer to the wood studs, then glue(using joint compound)/screw second layer to the first, but not to the studs. Which material would you put up first?
THANKS for your feedback!
