Re: Owens Corning sound wall


I guess the big issue with standard construction methods (ie: Studs, insulation, vapor barrier then drywall) is that they don't let the concrete breathe. Mold can start growing in behind the vapor barrier. Some newer methods say to skip the vapor barrier and then there are the more advanced wall systems such as the Owens Corning systems. But for the price you pay for the more expensive systems you could redo a room twice over using conventional methods.
