Thanks for the further comments. Taking all the replies it looks like FC is suitable in some specific cases but requires a lot of effort and would cost more and there are several other alternatives. I am still at the planning stage but I was looking for something that avoided the need for much/any plastering, ie a 'dry' solution yet handled insulation and sound well. Same for the floors.

Hi, Lots of great advice and I can see lots of cons but what are the thoughts on the acoustic, water resistance and fire resistance qualities. Despite the extra installation effort this seems to be very beneficial. Also what is the view of using Fermacell for flooring. Again there seems to be some advantages from a heating aspect.
