Neoprene on the RC?

How thick should my walls be, should I float my floors (and if so, how), why is two leaf mass-air-mass design important, etc.

Neoprene on the RC?

Post by Eggman »

Will I gain any STC if I put a layer of neoprene between my RC and my 2x5/8" sheetrock on my ceiling? I am asking about attaching strips of EPDM to the RC. I saw a similar thing recomended in a book on studio wall construction.

As usual, thanks.

My thought is that if you're screwing the RC to the studs, you'd kind of kill the point of the neoprene...

I would think that somtheing like this would be better. http://www.kineticsnoise.com/arch/isomax/index.html
