Sound insulation BUT load bearing!

Anyone any ideas about a sound reducing material that can bear the weight of a toilet and anyone using the item?

A while ago I enquired about raising my loo but having done so the hollow floor between the timbers is acting like an amplifier to everything when the toilet is in use.

To save me from ripping up the floor to fill the cavities is there a material available that I can install under the pedestal to deaden the sound?

Regards, Peter.

cheap but some specialised products.

I used their pipe-wrap product for an internal soilpipe and waste pipes

- extremely effective and worth the money.

Yep, that'll do it with minimum fuss

reinforced concrete is pretty good.

a couple of paving slabs with a bit of carpet underlay in between?

Yes - I can think of several ways that would stop the noise. ;-)

Some of the underlay used for timber flooring. Isn't the pan on a mastic bed anyway?

Better still float a 1/2" steel plate on concrete and then put the slab on some underlay. Might be a bit OTT.

No, screwed to the wooden floor. Peter
