I had my loft floor down for a while and have just lifted it so the electrician can do his wiring before I insulate it and fix the boards.
The floor joists are 200mm deep and the plans show 100mm acoustic insulation.
When I google 100mm acoustic insulation I get all sorts or results but nothing seems to give any figures for its accousticness. I'm thinking of just getting some 200mm loft roll and filling it with that.
Then when I fix the floor should I glue and screw or might it be better if I put some strips of EDPM between the joists and flooring to stop any creaking? Not that it creaked much when it was down unfixed.
