I am thinking of getting a 2 story extension done. It will be a living room with a bedroom above. So, rather than standard wooden floor for the first floor, i was thinking it might be sensible to have a concrete floor, beams with blocks. I see that you can even buy acoustic blocks now.
Is this solution likely to be much more expensive? Why arean't homes built like this in general? Apart from issue of running pipes etc, what else should I consider?
Thoughts please! The reason is mostly to allow use of living room at night with minimal disturbance to people trying to sleep upstairs (I do like my music on loud).
