It’s Suspended ceiling under existing one...
Hello!
Do you think it’s feasible to install a drop ceiling under an existing one? I live in a condo that is already pretty well soundproofed, but I know it need an extra isolation to achieve the STC I need. The actual ceiling is 2'' concrete with 8'' blown cellulose, resilient channels (but I would not be surprised if I learned they have not been correctly installed) and 2 1/2'' gypsums.
Cuuld the actual reislient chanels supports one or two additional layers of gypsum (with GG between if 2)?
Is it possible to just drill holes in the actual gypsums and attach wires to the 2''x10'' that would support the drop ceiling? Il would fill the holes around the wires with gypsum pieces and acoustic sealant.
The room is only 8' x 12'. Ceiling is 9'.
In addtion, I would place resilient channels with Clips, with 2 gypsums (Green Glue between) on all walls.
Thanks!
