Hi
The builder who is building my garden home studio is nearing the finishing stages.
He has built a decoupled inner room which has includes two layers of 12.5mm fire board green glued together.
I expected him to use acoustic caulk to seal the joins and screw heads on the inner layer of board but he has instead taped up the joins and is about to plaster the walls and ceiling - which will then receive three coats of paint. He says doing this negates the need to use acoustic caulk on the joins.
What do you think?
