What screws and plugs would your recommend to fix acoustic resilient boards to a solid brick wall ?

Hi lads,

going to fix this, http://91.109.6.14/~acousticsupplies/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Silent-Board-Sales-DS-28.pdf, to the partition wall of our semi in the two bed rooms up stairs, hoping it will reduce the noise we will hear from whomever will move in next, I am struggling to decide what screws to use, was thinking of this ones but will probably transmit noise:

was told that anything good quality 3-4 in plug will do, would you use this ones?

as you can see I am a bit lost here,

all the best

Hi Mate,

spot on, they just say,

"If you are fastening mechanically with 12 screws per board with a good solid plastic plug then this will be ok.
The sound will lose its energy as it works its way down the thread of the screw. I would suggest a 4 inch screw in length with a plug to suit the screw."

I guess the ones for frames are the choice here... but not sure, I am just an office dude.

I am taking the skirting and coving off, I do have a carpet thought.

Regarding the loft, honestly I haven't checked, great tip! but will do this weekend, should I fill any holes with caulk or the special noise insulation filler?

cheers
