Designing a free standing studio, timber+plasterboard
Hi
We are planning to build 2 control rooms one above the other, in a warehouse unit using timber frame and plasterboard plus soundproofing and treatment materials.
total floor space is 3x4 metres, with an available height of about 4.5 m. We need to keep cost down as much as possible, as it may only be a temporary thing.
The outer frame will have some support from 2 girders and 2 walls as it will be in a corner of our unit.
We are thinking to float the floors on rubber u-boats under the 2x4 timbers, and have looked at resilient bars as part of the soundproofing system.
In terms of costs v soundproofing we need to consider whether double or single wall system is best, although floors will def be floated.
Has anyone got experience or advice for this kind of construction and of good materials to use.
Any advice much appreciated!
Cheers.
