Type of breeze block

[theDIYkid]

H I am building a small music room and not sure what breeze block to use? do I use standard blocks 7N?
Sound proofing is better than thermal want to keep noise out..
Thanks

The denser the better.
You might need to weigh that against cost.

Thanks mate so dense ones are better.
Seen those at Wickes, thnaks.

Have a look at lignacite.co.uk They make specialised blocks.

Hi where do you buy them from? I dont see cart on page?

 

[Nige F]

I guess a builders merchant would have to order them in . I've not used them myself - I just googled it

Your bricklayer won't thank you for dense blocks up to ceiling- but generally mass is the king for reducing noise pollution in and out. If it is a small room you could even think about poured concrete walls- bit specialised when it comes to the shuttering etc but maybe worth a thought? (Prepared to be shot down in flames on that thought though )

Hollow blocks springs to mind, pour concrete into them

LIke yr thinking. How would you do it- really sloppy concrete to make sure it dropped all the way to the bottom or do it x courses at a time? (Curious here)

 

[23vc]

Every few courses I guess. My neighbour is currently using them to do a very small retaining wall, nothing like a bit of over engineering... I’d say dense 7n blocks for this, double skin ....
