How to attach interior wall to studs?
Hello,
I'm going to build a bit in a warehouse (metal). It will be double walls, i.e.:
1 - Gypsum (3 layers)
2 - 45x70 studs
3 - Mineral wool
4 - Air gap
5 - 5x70 studs
6 - Mineral wool
7 - Gypsum (3 layers)
There are currently 45x170 studs + insulation against the outer wall. On the inside, there is a moisture barrier and a layer of gypsum. I want to take down the gypsum and use the existing construction as one wall in the double wall when building against the outer wall.
But my question is really how on earth do I attach the new inner wall's studs and gypsum in relation to the outer wall/studs that are there today? I want to have as tight a construction as possible, for the sake of soundproofing (it's going to be a studio).
I'm having a bit of trouble explaining in words what I mean, so feel free to ask what I mean if I'm unclear.

Aha, you should have an air gap all the way around
Then you don't need to use kortla provided that you meet the outer wall's studs.
Nail/Screw a sufficiently wide strip on the side of the 45x170 stud that you attach the outer wall's drywall to.

if you're not using sound profiles (steel), then put the same sheet on your wooden studs that are against the concrete.

The problem is that I don't know much about constructions (but I'm learning) and I don't want sound to leak everywhere at the junction with the outer wall.SBH said:
I have explained the construction of the outer wall above. Please check the picture. There is also metal sheeting on the outside.....
My question is how I construct it so that sound doesn't leak.
How do I place the studs and how do I attach the drywall to the existing studs/outer wall.
There should be no drywall plates on the inside of the air gap!
Yes, air gap über alles!mexitegel said:
What do you mean with the strip, where do you place it and for what purpose? It shouldn't be on the inside of the air gap with drywall, if that's what you meant? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you!
You can place the polyethylene sheet between the studs and the drywall to achieve damping, as I have read before. The idea is that when the drywall vibrates, these vibrations should not propagate to the frame. It could probably be used for the floor as well.

Spontaneously, I think your biggest enemy here is the sheet metal on the outside, which risks becoming like a huge membrane.
