It's a brick built conservatory with a polycarbonate roof.
In the winter it's freezing,summer it's unbearable hot.I have had complaints from neighbours about the noise (I'm a D.J and this is where my decks are).

The measurements of ceiling - 5m 50cm Length x 3m 20cm width = 17.6 m2

There is 10 internal beams which the polycarbonate roof is attached to 2 of them are plastic where the strip lighting is and the rest are timber.The spaces between each beam range from 38cm (smallest) and the other 7 are between 67cm - 76cm.

I have been told I should firstly insulate between the beams with rock wool then attach sheets of chipboard??
I was told plasterboard then plastered but I want to staple fabric to the ceiling creating a draped parachuting effect.Is chipboard better than plasterboard in order for me to do this?

Can anyone please advice me on this and if possible recommend materials/products for this job.
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You

no kidding! i can't think of a more unsuitable, unsociable place to have the wheels of steel!

a connie is little more than a glorified shed and should be treated as such. to expect a connie to perform like a habitable room is completely unrealistic. like many other folks, i close the doors on my connie in November and don't go back in till March.

what you are trying to achieve is not really viable, as once you have tackled the ceiling then the glass walls will need addressing too. i'm not even sure whether the roof will enjoy all the weight it's gonna need in order to subdue the racket.

i'd think about upgrading the building to habitable if i were you.
