How do you insulate a cavity wall with acoustic boards?
Acoustic boards for walls can be placed on the inside of internal walls with a plasterboard finish. When insulating a cavity wall, measure the m² of the walls – taking out the size of windows and doors. This gives an accurate indication of how much insulation in the form of batts, slabs or granulate you need.
