Do you need to achieve fire resistance to the room above? 2x
9.5mm is a good way to do this (staggered joints).
Ah, good question. I guess it probably does what with it being a
kitchen and a separate flat upstairs. I guess this would apply to
the ceiling as well if/when I do it?
In that case you need good fire & sound resistance. A sheet of PB
absolutely won't cut it on either point.
ISTR recall that a sheet of 12.5mm with skim will meet fire regs for a
ceiling.
