Arnold9801 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 When I made wooden partition walls on our house 23 years ago, I used fibreglass insulation inside them and then covered the partitions with chipboard and plasterboard. I'm now doing a new build which will have a lot of wood partition walls upstairs. I would prefer to avoid using fibreglass insulation this time and was wondering about getting the gaps inside the walls filled with this paper fibre (if that's what it is?) Has anyone else used similar? Arnold9801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Is this for soundproofing ..? If so you need to use acoustic fibre insulation and an air gap. It’s a standard detail for sound control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold9801 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 No it's just for general insulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfb Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Isn’t sound insulation the only useful type of insulation on a non external wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
