I'm trying to create an inner shell for my garage in order to soundproof it and AAC came up. Worth it?
>>
>>2991054
My whole house is built out of this. It's great, easy to drill holes and insulation is not needed, the walls end up quite thick tho. If you're just after sound proofing I think other materials are better for this, some foam probably.
>>
>>2991054
You probably want panels of some kind.
I think the aeration just makes it lighter for manageability with a higher R value—regular concrete is probably more soundproof and comes in panels (like, for bathroom tile backer)
>>
Just do the dense - visco-elastic - dense stack like everyone else, it's the standard for a reason. Dense can be concrete or brick or drywall or plywood. Visco-elastic can be green glue, mass loaded vinyl or rebond foam.

Not just soundproofing. Thermal too.
The idea is to go
AAC
Wood beams screwed onto the AAC
Insulation between beams.
Spacer clips
Drywall carried by spacer clips
Mass loaded Vinyl
Second layer of drywall
Seal air gaps with green glue

there is a few tours of sound stages on youtube and hanging a rug off the wall appears in a lot of sound stages.

Fuck no. Glass or mineral fiber wool is for that.
>>
>>2991758
This. Mineral wool is absolutely superior for soundproofing and provides good insulation that cannot hold water.
>>

>that cannot hold water
breathable insulation is actually a good thing, it helps regulate indoor moisture and improve air quality. just don't use non-permeable paint/plaster on the outside because dew will form under it, freeze and make the whole thing crumble and fall off.
>>
>>2991802
>freeze
Not a problem in my area, bucko.
>>
>>2991810
you still shouldn't paint over it with acrylic paint or other non-breathable shit because the moisture will accumulate in your walls instead of freely evaporating outside, potentially causing mold and not helping you regulate indoor humidity without relying on ventilation

What's your temperature range?

>inner shell for my garage
what is the existing wall?

>>2991337
>Wood beams screwed onto the AAC
you will get better performance, both thermal and sound, by leaving a gap between AAC and wood

>This nigga got air in his concrete

Lmao

RAAC is all over the news here in Bongolia, and has been for a couple of years. All our schools and office buildings that were built in the 1960s were made from it, with the knowledge that the buildings would just collapse after 30-40 years and new ones would need to be built. Due to national idiocy, that never happened, and now we have countless scandals where schools and hospitals keep dropping bits of concrete onto children and sick people and pregnant mothers. So I guess my main advice to you is, don't put it in your ceiling.

you mean aids-crete? i guess if youre a fag

>make roofs out of rock foam
what were they thinking
>>
>>2998430
That's only for the roofs and ceilings btw. Embedded in a wall, they last multiple times longer, especially if they aren't load bearing which we all know they are not in RC column construction, it's a fancy insulation material pretty much.

>>2991337
why so much shit? just do like every modern european house

that's fucking it
