Acoustic Insulation?

ErolGirl

Hello, we are looking to put some acoustic insulation between our noisy kitchen/dining room and bedroom in the ceiling/floor. Has anyone got any recommendations of what to use please??

I would put something like dense rockwool batts between the joists; the densest and thickest that the space would allow. For example (quick google search):

Rockwool RWA45!

Wickes had some very dense insulation, which I have used successfully. However, I'm not sure if they still do it.
For the upstairs floors, I put in an extra layer of timber, so the dense insulation rests on that.


You can also get dense "soundbloc" plasterboard. I haven't used this, but it's really heavy and if you tap it, there is a clear difference to the ordinary stuff. That will be used on my next wall upgrade.


Plus loads of other products.

"Soundboard" plasterboard. Very heavy and expensive stuff, we used it plus rockwool to soundproof the party wall from noisy neighbours.

You can also get a Rockwool RW3 product that is 60kg m3 density so would give better acoustics.
