Hi, I'm a newbie here.
From Adelaide and I'm looking at building a double storey home.
Whilst I am likely to stick with a timber stud frame brick veneer construction on the ground storey, I am exploring options for the upper storey on a timber frame (hebel panel vs foam render panel vs another alternative that can be rendered). For the upper storey:
- I'm after something that can be rendered or offers a render look with showing minimal joins
- Certainly would like something that achieves very high sound proofing
- Good to high R rating for insulation/energy efficiency
With my acoustic and thermal insulation goals, I am happy to invest in the products that can be inserted in walls and cavities to achieve my expectations.
I've come across MgO Sulphate board in my research on google. Comes across like a good material to consider. Has anyone built with this material and what is your feedback? Also, has anyone rendered MgO board and does it work well (no cracking unlike blueboard)?
Cheers
