Hi,
I'm in the throes of converting a large victorian house into flats.
For the benefit of noise and vibration suppresion between the units I'm told that I need to install ceilings that are separate and in no way attached to the joists of the floorboards above.
My architect has suggested that I install a second set of joists positioned just below the existing ones to which I can attach the plasterboard. However this will be far more difficult than it sounds.
I recall hearing of other systems that are just as effective but far simpler to execute, can someone remind me as to what they are?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
