John A Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Finally managed to get back onto the forum, it all looks very different now - very smart!Can anyone advise me on the most efficient insulation material I can use for sound proofing? We have a new bathroom, with the soil pipe running down through the sitting room, so I now need to box in the pipes & insulate.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Castorama sell rolls of dense sound proofing material that we taped around a similar down pipe to yours to good effect. Is Interior Silent Travel still going in the UK? or is that a real blast from the past? They used to sell the stuff that car makers stick on the inside of body panels to reduce noise. sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piprob Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 You can pack around the pipe with rockwool fibre which you used to able to buy in blocks and rolls. I think its still available, but I wouldn't be sure who the distributors are in France. You can use it as it comes or tear off what you want.

John A Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Many thanks for your suggestions. I shall probably go for Rockwool and the most suitable plasterboard I can get. Rockwool's French web-site has given me the addresses of some local shops that stock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
