Hello,
Our wooden beam ceiling was (presumably due to low walls in the upper floor, placed by the carpenter not directly on the concrete ring beam of the brick walls but on wooden pads.
This results in an approximately 5 cm high gap between the walls and the ceiling. The ceiling will still be suspended with plasterboard, but I fear this gap will cause a significant sound bridge between the rooms.
Now the question:
With what can I insulate this space against sound?
The following ideas came to me:
- Rock wool (ISOVER acoustic)
- Foaming the cavity (are there special sound insulation foams? They should be open-pored, I think?)
What would you recommend in this case? Filling the gaps in the walls or similar is practically no longer possible due to the already installed battens, etc.
I look forward to helpful advice.
Regards
