Building a house


In the design phase and planning on a dedicated listening room. Any advice on its construction, lessons learned?

If you are talking about a recording room, then it is clearly not worth saving on the material for the skin, as this is very important. Also, for the future, I can advise a team of guys https://www.homequote.io/windows/minneapolis-mn , who replace and install windows, everything is at the highest level, so you can safely contact

Lots of helpful advice. I’m in a similar position so appreciate the expertise. My dedicated room will be a bonus room above the garage so little worry about soundproofing other than a sturdy door. My main concern is trying to find the right mix of design and build materials so that the space is neither too dead or reflective. The room is 21x15 with 5 foot knee walks going up to a 9 foot peak. There will be a shed dormer on one of the long walls and the system will be on a short (exterior) wall. I will do a wall mount shelf for the table screwed into a boxed in section of the wall between the 2x4 studs. I did this at our prior home and it worked well. I’d appreciate thoughts/opinions on the room dimensions and use of building materials and room treatments that will diminish first reflections and bass nodes/issues—please PM me if your suggestions do not also apply to the OP.

If you decide to build a house, you will definitely have a question of what to build?

What building materials to choose?

If you have decided to build a house, today you can easily get confused in the huge range and variety of materials that are on the construction market.

With the help of this site we will help you to study the question "What is Termodom?" and “Why in recent years, the number of houses built using this technology is growing, almost exponentially?”

A bit of history:

The ancestor of today's Thermodom technology was the " depositphotos" technology, which appeared in Italy in the distant 70s of the last century. In 1976, already in Germany, the Renova-Termodom company launched the production of thermoblocks. The technology proved to be excellent in Germany and began to spread around the world, later it also reached Ukraine.

Ukraine was the first of the CIS countries in January 1995 to adopt state building codes regulating all issues of building houses from polystyrene foam blocks of fixed formwork (DBN V.2.6-6-95). According to the current standards in Ukraine, the construction of THERMODHOUSES up to 5 floors inclusive is allowed.

In Germany, building codes allow building using this technology up to 22 floors, and in Russia and Georgia - up to 9 floors. In addition to the above countries, Thermodom technology is popular in the USA, Canada, Israel, Holland, Finland and many others. In Bulgaria, for example, the owners of houses built using energy-saving technology Termodom are exempt from paying land tax for up to 15 years.

In Ukraine, Termodom technology is becoming more popular every year. Confirmation of this is the awarding of our products with the honorary title "The best wine in the life of life" in 2004 during participation in the prestigious competition "Vinahid - 2004".

The technology impresses with its simplicity, efficiency, and most importantly - results.

THERMODHOUSE is a house, the walls of which are built from lightweight polystyrene foam blocks. Such blocks are called thermoblocks and are, in fact, fixed formwork. Filled with concrete, they form a monolithic wall 150 mm thick, insulated on both sides with polystyrene foam boards 50 mm each.

THERMOBLOCK is the basis of our construction technology Termodom. It consists of two polystyrene foam plates connected to each other by a plastic or the same polystyrene foam jumper.

It performs several important functions:

serves as a fixed formwork for concrete, which greatly simplifies the construction process;
is a wall insulation on both sides and gives it unique thermal insulation properties;
can significantly reduce construction costs.
The use of TERMODOM technology is:

reduction of construction time;
savings in the construction of the foundation;
savings in the construction of wall structures;
structural strength;
reduction of labor costs during the installation of walls;
high thermal performance of the walls.
Individual residential buildings, cottages, high-rise buildings, cascading apartment buildings, administrative and public buildings, industrial workshops and warehouses, swimming pools and refrigerators - this is an incomplete list of objects that can be built using Termodom technology

Obligatory sound isolation. If you have windows, then buy thick curtains. When you finish, buy a good recliner where you can sit and relax. Try the fourth one https://www.reclinerland.com/best-recliners/ Great comfort at a great price. Has lever to adjust reclining feature. Great chair for listening to music or watching TV! or just relaxing!
