Hi,
I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to the question of insulating between joists on ground floor kitchen ceiling/first floor bedroom floor.
In this case the pros seem to be :-
I have enough spare 170mm loft insulation to do the job.
Having insulated with this under the kitchen floor it definitely cuts down noise transmission. The bedroom floor is only 18mm chipboard.
The house will be occupied by older people who will be using downstairs most of the time.
Could anyone advise me if there is some real downside to doing this, like increased fire risk or hellish condensation problems?.
