Furrings for sound insulation?

[Oz07]

Had to leave a 600x1200 section out of boarding for stairwell to be done other month. Said to plasterer, who also boarded, when you've skimmed stairwell don't forget to insulate that section before u board and skim. All other partitions had been filled with rock wool of which we had a few slabs left. Also just by chance had a piece of celotex knocking around near enough that size. What do u think the genius put in the wall?!?

 

just shows what your dealing with

The picture about soundproofing in http://www.ebuild.co.uk/blog/14/entry-169-8-the-importance-of-planning-ahead/ shows what has been discussed.

This link shows good options for soundprooffing: http://www.viking-house.co.uk/soundproofing.html

Building Control can insist on a sound test.

"Robust details" give detailed options. http://www.robustdetails.com/TheHandbook

The solutions shown in the Regs for partition floors and walls within a dwelling are deemed to satisfy the requirements - so BC will not ask for test in this instance. 

 

For separating floors and walls between dwellings/flats the options are testing on completion or using the Robust Details scheme.
