Hello
Thank you
- On the first floor, I have a corridor that is 2.6m wide and 10m long.
- The joists run across the corridor (and are therefore just over 2.6m long) and sit on the solid stone walls of the similar-sized ground-floor corridor.
- The joists’ cross-section is 10.5cm deep (ie vertically) by 6cm wide.
- The joists are 46cm apart (centre to centre).
- The floor sitting on the joists is cheap, thin, interlocking floorboarding.
- There is no insulation between that floor and the plasterboard ceiling below.
- When you walk on this floor, even with quite a thick rug laid on top of it, the floor makes a “booming” noise, which sounds very loud at night and which I would like to stop.
Thank you
