Hello,
I live on the first floor flat of a converted Victorian house. I would like to remove the carpet and and expose the wooden floorboards. I am concerned about two issues:
1) noise transmissione.g walking, talking to the flat below
2) which is the material to use keep noise level to a minimum-should I use acoustic underlay or the foam used in loft-need to be economical.
Are carpets the most effective noise reducers for a first floor flat?
Any suggestions helpful as the floor boards will have to be lifted and sanded.
Many thanks.
