I can say that I'm very satisfied, footsteps are hard to hear and sometimes, when me and my wife are in separate floors, we need to shout to each other really loud in order to establish basic communication.
Not sure which thickness I went for but definitely less than 100mm (was about £35 per slab package of ~8 sq.m if it helps). I think 100mm would be too much though, unless you're insulating a rehearsal room?
Thanks very much, there is a massive gap (at least 150mm) under our floorboards so am going to try the 100mm initially under the baby's room over the garage as i want that to be as soundproofed as possible then perhaps look at the 50mm thickness for the rest, although i dont know if they do that thickness in the 400mm width (perfect for between my joists)
Yes i picked up a couple of packs from Wicks this morning, as about £26/27 per pack.
Thanks again for the reply.
