ABSTRACT:
A permanent stud wall structure having improved sound transmission loss comprising two substantially parallel rows of spaced apart vertically extending support members secured at their ends to a base and header respectively by appropriate means and defining a stud cavity; said vertically extending support members being located in each of said rows such that there is a corresponding support member in the other row that is in substantially the same plane running perpendicular to said rows; one or more horizontally extending relatively rigid support members extending between one or more corresponding vertically extending support members and being secured to said vertically extending support members by appropriate securing means; said horizontally extending members including a vibration isolator means to reduce the transmission of sound between opposite ends thereof; and one or more layers of a covering material secured to the outwardly facing surfaces of one or more of said vertically extending support members such that said covering material extends in a plane that is substantially parallel to said rows of spaced apart vertically extending support members.
