It’s taken a while, but we’ve finally drywalled both sides of the garage partition wall. On the garage side, we installed fire-core 5/8in board with a layer of Quiet-Glue sound-absorbing glue/membrane between the drywall and the plywood sheerwall — with the unsealed garage doors, quite a bit of sound comes through and having had great success with Quiet Solutions products, we opted for the increased peace it might bring. We also installed 1/2in Quiet Rock on the living room side for the same reasons (which is essentially two 1/4in sheets with a layer of Quiet Glue in between). We caulked and sealed and mudded and primed… hopefully the area is not only more quiet, but safe from garage-fumes and more fire-proof. Still need to secure the electric cable that will feed the kitchen island, but that will be next weekend’s project…
