    Part garage conversion - wall and floor spec

    Excellent thanks. I'd prob do the 2 x layers 12.5 instead of the Fireline as that will help with noise - there is a road the other side of the garage door. I actually use Soundlam / Soundbloc PB wherever possible having previously built recording studios with very high sound reduction...
