| Double-stud wall
|
|
Wall, whose purpose is basically to isolate sound, is constructed by using a common plate wider than the two rows of offset studs, which are studs that are in a staggered or zigzag pattern, so that each side of the wall is attached to a different set of studs. Since the wallboard walls are not sharing common framing, sound is not directly transmitted from one wall to another. The insulation in the wall cavity, also serves to mute any noise. This type of wall is also referred to as double wall, or offset-stud framing. |
