Planning new invisible 3 Lamp build

it has been a while since i did a new thread and specially since i did a thread on a build. this won't be a huge thing, in fact i hope to make it small enough so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb even in the room it's gonna be built in.

the reason i am starting this thread now is to get some feed back about building materials and other things that might crop up. for one thing i have been looking at some light weight synthetic boards to use for the walls, i want the walls to be a bit noise proof, ideally the material shouldn't be too heavy, the ighter the better, lol.

found some interesting stuff i could use to sandwich some sound proofing with

the worry with that stuff is that it might off gas? ever since my issue with that, i am very paranoid about materials.



or there is this stuff made of cardboard. once it's covered in wall paper it could look like a normal wall. of course i'll need to make some areas with stronger material so stuff can be screwed to the walls.

thinking this would be a lot easier to work with then heavy press boards or plaster board.

the plan is to have 2 600 watt lights for flowering and a 250 for mums and some tubes for clones. the flowering space should be 220cm long by 110cm wide, it will be to the ceiling as i want as much vertical space as possible.

this thread will probably take a while, as i am only planning at this stage.

i am also considering having a hole drilled through the wall so i can exhaust directly through the wall instead of having to make window extraction boxes to hide the exhaust. but yeah the fresh exhaust vent might draw more attention then it's worth.

anyway i'd appreciate any ideas for wall material that contains sound.

well moving along, the wood beams and boards are all ordered. found some wood board thats not so heavy like press board. can anyone suggest the best material to use to fill the wall with to make it sound proof or at least help reduce the sound getting out. we are talking about a quite ventilation noise.

one place i went to suggested dense rock wool? is that still the most effective thing out there in this day and age?

i am also looking for some magnetic door close system. i plan to have segments of the wall that can be removed. idealy i want magnets at each corner and along the length of the removable wall segments. so i can just pop them back in without needing any visible bolts etc. any ideas where to get such fittings or what they would even be called so i can search for them lol.

thanks

glue the magnets to the back of the wallboards and another attracting magnet to the framework. nothing special to buy, or they sell magnets with a hole for to screw them in.
