Hi, I'm having lots of work done in the lounge, basically completely ripped out and the ceiling it about to be redone.
This is where all my kit sits and where loud m,usic or film volume can travel and I'm wondering the best method, albeit on a budget way of preventing sound from going upward to the bedrooms above.
ive found 2 products mineral wool and soundblocker quilt SoundBlocker Quilt
which could potentially be put between the joists.
I'm just unsure of whether this is the best method for sound reduction or whether im wasting my money this way and could perhaps employ a different method. Ive got several options available and wondered wheter anyone could help.
a) ceiling can be pull down, and either mineral wool or accoutic quilt can be added in between joists and ceiling retacked up and plastered
b) ceiling can be left and a secondary plastered board tacked over the top and reskimmed and then some sort of rubber matting can be layed under the carpet upstairs.
Just wondering how effective the mineral wool would be as it seems considerably cheaper than the quilt, or whether tacking another bit of plasterboard over the top would be as good or i go the whole hog from underneath and put the quilt in, or just make it easier for myself and stop it by approaching it from the bedroom floor aspect.
any tips guys
