    Just wondering has anyone done this, and how successful has it performed? Any cracks, does it reduce sound transmission and finally how was it done?

    Thanks

    Timber frame structure/house...or...timber floor structure?

    Either way, you need a/your structural engineer to look at/advise.

    Timber floor structure.

    I appreciate that the structural engineer would have to design but just wondering how it has performed after installation. Regarding sound transmission, movement/cracks etc...

    Yes, in upstairs bathroom
    Worked well, floor was tiled
    No cracks of note, does reduce sound transmission
    Ask your arch/Eng they will design
