Remedial treatment for walls
The following steps for construction are typically used:
- build a studwork frame, attached to the ceiling and floor but not fixed to the original wall
- hang mineral wool inside the cavity, and tack between the studs or to a batten on the wall
- line the studwork with two layers of plasterboard, (make sure the joints between the sheets in the first and second layer do not coincide)
- seal the perimeter and all other sound paths with flexible sealant
