OK I understand, sorry I am a little irritable from chronic lack of sleep. Actually I can see an advantage to being totally deaf, and just have a hearing aid I can switch on and off. What method did you use to build your partition?

Wow thats original. It also does not make sense, how will I hear anything from the headphones if I am deaf? If you've nothing useful to contribute please go play with traffic.

Steve - you are not too far off the mark, ultimately I plan to leave the madness of London, but I am trying to finish postgrad studies and have no choice but to adapt the flat for now. There are lots of things not allowed, laminate, dogs etc. but I really don't want to alienate all of my...

Dear Acousticians I would like to ask for some advice about low profile solutions in a scenario in which there is not much space to lose. From what I've read there seems to be a depth of knowledge that I have not found on DIY forums. I live on the second floor of a 5 story block of flats...

yes the walltransform.co.uk is the main website actually, you can see the BBA certification which I understand is hard to get. Its just such a relatively unknown product in the building world I had to ask if anyone has actually used it.

Thanks Deluks Are you saying soundcoat on over plasterboard and resi bars? Gyproc think that soundcoat and double board would do sod all, so I found a rubber membrane only 3mm thick which I could sandwich between the plasterboard. Do you think that gypliner is a better product for...

Dear all, I’m looking all over for a low profile wall soundproofing solution for my flat. there are quite a few products out there for low profile sound proofing, like gyproc triline and Acara panels which perform very well but are expensive. The noise is general talking and loud footsteps...

Thanks Nige! Is there really a Father Abraham or is it a joke I dont get? Are you saying I should speak to a Catholic priest about my noise problems? :? Merry Christmas to you and everyone!

Is this concrete slab I have in my ceiling? It looks ashen and lumpy but its solid.

Greetings oh knowledgeable ones, I would like to tile a 2.5 x 2.5 sq m galley kitchen with 330mm sq porcelain tiles. It is an ex-local authority flat with a concrete floor, has some cracks in parts. I’ve run my spirit level over sections of the floor, and it seems level in some parts...
