Opinions on wall paneling
Posted: Mon, 2022-Nov-21, 15:09
I'm looking at a design that would include room in room construction with double drywall for the inner shell. For aesthetic purposes I'm considering a thin (1/8in, somewhat floppy) wood panel over the drywall. I would attach room treatments over that.
My question is, how to attach the paneling. I've heard two schools of thought. One being to glue it down so it becomes one with the inner shell. The other being to use finishing nails so it is more like a limp mass up against the solid wall. I'd prefer to do the latter, for simplicity. Do you think it matters from an acoustical perspective? Would I run into 3rd leaf or resonant issues if the panels are just nailed up?
