Yes. Numerous people have given their opinions after fittting.


Time for a "search" I think.

What about ordinary loft insulation (mineral wool) ??

Would 200mm of this work?

sound muffling is better with more weight. The loft insulation is very light. It would be better than nothing, but the denser batts would be better.

Filling any gaps in the ceiling or floor, and adding a dense underfelt and thick carpet in the room above would also help.

I'm thinking that 200mm rockwool is only £3 at B&Q.

Perhaps with some weight on top it would be denser?
