I need to sound proof my ceiling, its not that my neighbours are full on ravers its just Victorian conversions where fine when everyone had carpets, not so good now wooden floors are king !
I have looked into various systems but seem to be going round in circles. I did settle on a " genie clip " set up but have been told by a couple of acoustic engineers that the existing plaster & lath ceiling should come down first, don't really want to do this.
Getting to the point I would like to put up an independent ceiling but do not have a lot of room due to the windows. The max joist size I could have is 4" x 2 " spanning 3.6m x 3.8m. I would do it at 40mm centres and would want two layers of acoustic board. Can anyone tell me /advise if this will take the weight \ load.
Much appreciation and thanks to all the knowledgeable folk out there
Oh and happy Friday to all
Thanks
Guy
