Partition wall material.

Question

i'm looking forward to build a hotel and for that purpose, someone suggested me to go for a dry wall (by saint gobain-india gypsum)or foam concrete wall partition.

i wanted to know if dry wall is a safe concept, i mean is that sound proof and can we hear the sound if someone knocks on the other side?

or foam concrete wall would be better?

or i should just go for a brick wall?

thanks.

Answer 1

Depends on a number of issues.I see they are using a lot of polystyrene as an inner wall cladding? Highly inflammable.In this country we use Gib walling which is a plasterboard mix.If you put that up with Bradford Gold sound insulation,you'll get a safe product.Check with your local building supplier.

Answer 2

Whatever be the material you use, if you want to make it soundproof, use a double wall
