Spending on how much space you have in the loft you may be considering a conversion this year. Soundproofing it may not be the foremost thing on your mind but there are several reasons why you should consider it.

One of the main things to consider before you carry out your loft conversion is the amount of privacy you will have. This is particularly true if your loft is large enough to be used as an entertainment or music studio.

If you happen to have neighbours close by they may not be happy with the noise leading to problems. You might also need to soundproof your loft to reduce noise from your neighbours too so in this case it is wise to start considering what type of insulation you will need to make your loft conversion a success.

Soundproofing your loft requires stud walls that are placed on top of existing walls with insulating material such as mineral wool being placed in between. If you are using timber batons to support the walls in your loft it is important to ensure they are fixed to the floor and ceiling rather than the walls to get the maximum benefit of soundproofing.
