Hi, wondered if anyone has any good advice for sound proofing before laying a wooden floor.
I live in the top floor flat of a converted 3 floor Georgian house, I have slowly be renovating and now ready to do the floors which we want natural wood. We are very conscious of keeping the sound down for the neighbours below us, especially as my boyfriend is so heavy footed. We will be doing the work ourselves so any advice/recommendations would be greatly received.
- Is there a legal requirement of sound proofing required?
- Which is the most cost effective and easiest method to do ourselves?
- Any other hints & tips?
A big thank you in advance,
Helen
