Just after a bit of guidance on a potential project, to help me work out costs, and generally set me in the right direction.
I'm looking at building a spray booth, measuring 5m wide x 5m deep x 3.5m tall, with a single door measuring 0.7x2m and a large double door measuring 3x3m for forklift access. This would be constructed directly onto a concrete floor inside an industrial unit.
Because the spray process generates a lot of noise, I was looking at using Lignalite blocks, which apparantly have very good sound attenuation properties. These blocks are 440x215x190mm:
For this size of construction, should I be looking at a double skin wall? Would this need to be professionally designed? Just trying to get an idea of how much it might cost.
Hi franticbadger I don't think you will improve sound insulation by using a cavity wall. Your main noise will be from the extraction system, its ducting and termination. Regards S
