Hello everyone :-)
Since I also bought a house, I will now become a more active writer more often. Not just a reader :-P
I also have a direct question for the experts and experienced people.
The house consists of two apartments. On the ground floor a main apartment and in the attic a smaller flat.
Downstairs we have already renovated quite a bit, for that we have often read here and got inspiration from YouTube videos. We also laid a screed there. However, with leveling filler, that was all clear.
Upstairs it will be different now. For one thing, it is a wooden beam ceiling, in the living room a carpet is laid on a hard floor. We are not quite sure yet what is underneath. I suspect a normal screed.
In any case, the upstairs renovation has to be cost-effective :-D
My sister wants to move in there with her two small children.
Since the ceiling already transmits quite a lot of sound, I wanted to help with impact sound insulation. Therefore, I would lay a dry screed with impact sound insulation floating. But here comes my first question:
Can I simply lay the screed on another screed? Or maybe even on the carpet, so I don’t have to tear it out and possibly even have the carpet as additional sound insulation?
Or is there another covering that I can lay on carpet that is acoustically helpful?
The other rooms have wooden floorboards. But they creak very much even though they are firm. They are simply old.
So they have to go. The gaps then have to be filled with filler. Maybe even screed honeycombs.
Here is the second question:
Can I fill the gaps between the beams with normal filler and lay/pour the screed honeycombs + filler directly on top?
It would be great if someone here has any information or experience regarding this :-)
Best regards
Rocky
