Acoustic Performance Floors for Multi-Residential from Karndean

A SOUND SPACE FOR MULTI-RESIDENTIAL BUILD

Tried and tested, the complete Karndean LooseLay flooring range boasts enhanced acoustic properties which surpass the minimum standard required by the National Construction Code (NCC) for multi-residential builds.

In Australia, the NCC requires a minimum acoustic performance rating of 62 decibels (dB) for a floor in a Class 2 or 3 building, such as multi-residential living. In essence, the lower the decibel rating, the stronger the acoustic performance of the flooring system.

Adhering to the ISO 140-6 Normalized Impact Sound Insulation, Karndean LooseLay is currently one of the only luxury vinyl planks and tiles on the market that has an acoustic performance rating of 59dB - without the need for an additional acoustic underlay. Proving itself to be the ideal flooring system for multi-residential living.

It's well known that impact sound (i.e. footsteps, vacuum cleaners) is best treated at the source of the problem, most commonly with an acoustic flooring solution. Karndean LooseLay reduces the sound bounce and transfer, meaning it's much quieter to walk on, and therefore a practical and preferable choice for multi-level applications.
