Hi folks, bare with me, this could be a stupid question! I'm about to sound proof a friends garage to build a music room, essentially build a room within a room, basic stud work, rockwool and double boarded.
My plan is to make a door and pack it with rockwool. I'd imagine it will come out about 100mm thick, my question is how much space would I need to leave between the frame and door to avoid binding/catching... I might be over thinking it but I can image the edge of the door getting stuck on the frame.
A little more explaination...
We are going to leave the original garage door in place and build an internal door for extra sound deadening. In an ideal world i'd just stick a double glazed door in, however the apature is a really odd size and custom upvc is out of the budget, we do however have loads of scrap timber and ply.
I did consider a sliding door but getting it to seal would be a bit of a nightmare.
Any ideas or other suggestions welcome!
