WHY DO ACOUSTICS MATTER?

HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

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.

Flexform Sound LVT INTRODUCING

FLEXFORM SOUND LVT

THE QUIETEST

THE CHALLENGES OF DESIGNING FOR QUIET

Flooring is one of the biggest structural components affecting interior acoustics. With the popularity of luxury vinyl tiles and other smooth flooring surfaces, this can be a significant challenge for designers. Hard surfaces are noisy and do not absorb sound. They tend to reflect it back into the room or transmit it through the floor into spaces below.

That's why FLEXFORM SOUND LVT is a game-changer.
