Hi,
I desperately need some advice on a shed/music space currently going up in the backyard...The structure is made of weatherboard and plasterboard/drywall panels with a thin inner layer of polystyrene covered in a polystyrene bead and concrete slurry mix as a type of insulation. The reason for the slurry is its soundproofing capabilities.
The ceiling of this 3x3 metre space is made up of 6 panels; each 1 by 1.5 mtres long. Each of these has an extra joist down its centre. In addition, a beam runs along the length of the space, supporting each of these ceiling panels. My worry is each of these panels is also filled with a concrete slurry/poly bead mix-the weight is aprox 11k per square metre. Is this too heavy?
Has anyone ever heard of this kind of insulation for a ceiling? My understanding is that rockwool is around 6 k per square metre in weight.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
