NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESAcoustic Flooring Benefits from PolyflorBenefits of Acoustic Flooring Within any space that humans dwell, noise is created. In high-traffic areas like schools, hospitals or residential settings, this background noise can negatively affect others and make the space less comfortable to reside in. It can hinder learning, teaching, working, recuperation or simply relaxation. Therefore, acoustic flooring has fast become one of the primary focuses of builders, contractors and architects to improve the overall acoustic performance of new and refurbished installations. Polyflor's acoustic vinyl floorcoverings have been designed and developed to assist in improving the acoustic properties within residential, commercial and public locations as well as providing the additional benefits of aesthetics, performance, hygiene and durability. Acoustic flooring is only part of the action that can be taken to reduce noise levels. Acoustic ceiling and wall panels, fabrics, textiles and plants may also be considered early in the design process to ensure compatibility. Smooth acoustic floorcoverings are designed to reduce impact sound at the source, not to reduce background or reverberation sound within a room. Consider the long term benefits of acoustic flooring in your next build whilst factoring in both noise reduction and safety - two birds with one stone. The building's dwellers will thank you. |
