The only Building Regulations requirement for a non-loadbearing wall

25mm mineral fibre between the studs will suffice. The studs may be
75mm timber or 45mm metal. There's no requirements for robustness or
impact resistance.


I'm amazed 25mm mineral fibre would make any difference.
Is this just the loft insulation type stuff, or something
much denser?
