Not convinced so called acoustic board works any better than decent
plaster board. You need mass to stop sound.


"soundblock" plasterboard is about 30kg a sheet compared to 24kg a sheet
for "normal" 12.5mm stuff ...


Quite. Either thicker than normal plasterboard, or a double layer.


Two layers is what I have always done in these situations.


I'm butting up to a door casing, can't get away with doubling up, that
was my first instinct.
