It’s proven that sound can greatly affect people’s sustained attention and productivity in a given space. To address this issue, using carpet is one of the most common solutions for reducing unwanted noise. As an innovative backing system, LuxCushion™ offers superior performance when it comes to acoustic comfort.
Impact Sound Insulation
It's important to consider impact sound insulation and sound absorption when evaluating the acoustic performance of floor coverings. Impact sound insulation refers to the ability to reduce the transmission of impact noise, such as footsteps, moving furniture, and falling objects between floors or rooms. LuxCushion™ has been tested and shown to reduce transmitted impact noise by 37dB according to ISO 10140, which is 5 times better than LVT, and also increases by 50% compared to typical backing (Note: The data is based on laboratory test results and may vary depending on the experimental environment).
Sound Absorption
Sound absorption indicates the capacity to absorb sound energy in the air. Absorption can lessen other unpleasant background noise within the room, for example, echo. According to EN ISO 354, LuxCushion™ tested an impressive sound absorption coefficient of 0.40 (Note:The data is based on laboratory test results and may vary depending on the experimental environment)。
LuxCushion™ is an ideal solution for acoustic comfort. For the carpet with LuxCushion™, its top and bottom are entirely made of nylon. This unique patented technology contributes to its excellent sound insulation value and absorption properties.
A better and quieter soundscape plays a vital role in providing acoustic comfort and an overall indoor comfort experience. It is aligned with a need for building a successful working, learning, or living environment, and what LuxCushion™ can bring to space is more than comfort.
