Flooring that Improves Interior Acoustics

Why do acoustics matter? Noise is unpleasant, often causing stress which affects mental and physical health. In workspaces with excessive noise, absenteeism actually increases. In medical facilities, the stress of noise can inhibit recovery and healing. In hospitality settings, it can defeat the purpose of rest and relaxation.

Noise can have an adverse effect on productivity and concentration. This is especially true in office and educational environments. Any kind of distraction or disruption can hinder worker and student focus and performance. We are part of a Creative Collective empowered to design indoor environments that are functional and aesthetically pleasing. In essence, designers create positive experiences. Great design enhances the quality of life of the people who occupy our spaces, and acoustics play an important role.

Flooring is one of the biggest structural components affecting interior acoustics. Our WellBAC™ cushion backing in our modular carpet can reduce muscle strain by as much as 24% compared with hardback carpet tiles. Cushion-backed carpet tiles also absorb 50% more noise than hardback carpet. Additionally, our FlexForm Sound™ LVT is a game-changer. It is 50% quieter than other LVT products on the market and 25% quieter than other acoustic LVT products currently on the market. FlexForm Sound™ LVT also reduces installation time, because it doesn't require a separate acoustic underlayment like other LVT products do. You can increase performance while lowering labor costs.
