Sound proofing wooden floors
A lot of people think that wooden floors are very noisy and cold, this is no longer the case. Before central heating this flooring could make the house very cold due to the inefficiency to hold the heat in and hence your heating bill would be quite large.
New, modern flooring does not suffer from these problems.
The flooring sold now comes tongue and grooved on all 4 sides which means the boards slot firmly together without leaving large gaps for the breeze to come through. This immediately eliminates any drafts from below the sub floor. Even when laid directly onto joists, the insulation is very good and no cold can be felt coming through the joints.
