I'm sure there was someone on here that did domestic soundproofing for a living.

Anyone recall who it was?

I wouldn't mind some advice or recommendation on products to use in the loft area of a 1 & 1/2 story house as it's next to a busy duel carriage way and quite a bit noisier upstairs than I'd like.

I'm just converting my attic into a master bedroom / en-suite and shoe room (for SWIMBO).

To comply with the "conservation of heat" Building Regs you need a LOT of insulation. However my roofer pointed me in the direction of "Tri-iso Superquilt" which is equivalent to 230mmof insulation quilt.

However, I'm concerned about sound transmission through it, so I'm also using a composite plasterboard / insulation product from British Gypsum, Thermaline Plus, which is 12.5mm plasterboard bonded to a sheet of insulating foam / polystyrene.

So my plan is 50mm air space, 1 layer Triso, then another 25mm air gap, then 40mm of thermaline board.

So that should be warm and quiet.

There are a range of specialist acoustic boards available from BG too:-
