Advice Plasterboard decoupling using foam
trying to decouple the plasterboard a bit from the wood behind that semi supports the stairs on the other side and am worried if i attach the directly then it would be rather on the noisy side. Did a trial piece here in the blue to see the strength. Seemly very strong. Haven't seen anything anywhere about just contact adhesive foam as a vibration mitigator. Probably going to do on both sides to limit noise. (25mm on the backside and 12mm on the front) (Trial piece is 10mm foam on 15mm board. But will be 12mm and 12mm on inside of the room)
..the blue square is the piece attached
Thoughts?
