Hi all,

Looking for the best option for soundproofing/ insulating my ceiling/ floor between ground and first floor.

Long story short, 200mm depth on floor joists, too broke to by Rockwool RWA45 slabs and double them to fill the whole void, would I be best going with:

Option A: 100mm Slab closest to the floorboards of the 1st level.

Or

Option B: 100mm Slab closest to the ceiling of the ground floor.

Or my 3rd option do I buy some cheaper acoustic roll (density of about 13kg/m³ 🥲) and double that up to fill the 200mm void completely?

Thanks all for your help and reading this far 🙏🏻
