hello guys! just when you though i'd gone away for good, still here but just been swamped with work
so, to the post:
Doing a job this week, was just a straight forward skim but customer called to ask for studding and blue sounds boards on the party wall as he can hear his neighours speaking.
Told him the way to do it is to...and here's my method i would appreciate second opinions on:
1) Vertical timber 50mm studs at 600 centres.
2) 50mm isover between battens
3) Gyproc resilient bars fixed horizontally at 600 centres & vertically around perimiter
4) 1st layer of board fixed to bars using 20mm screws
5) 2nd layer of board fixed to bars using 38mm screws
6) skim!!
couple of questions i have having not used this technique/method before
1) do i need head and sole plates in the stud?
2) should i use gyproc sealant around the edges of the studwork?
3) should i use standard wallboard or use a layer of blue sound board?
Thanks as always fellas!
