Hi,
Im looking for ways to cut down outside noise to my loft conversion. In the loft is the main bedroom and the noise from outside can be quite annoying at times so I would like to minimise it.
I was thinking that I could put some insulation (the solid stuff that you squeeze into joists - I cant remember the name right now) between the joists in my eves, and maybe even some extra membrane/insulation material stapled across the joists.
Do you think that would work?
I think its mostly the roof that is letting the noise in, but the floor of my eves could also probably do with some better insulation. At the minute the floor of my eves has some glass wool between the eves and flooring panels over the joists (although not covering all the joist)
Does anyone have some ideas or pointers to websites that can help out?
Thanks in advance
