Sound absorption and impact sound insulation are crucial in the workplace. Less noise leads to a greater level of productivity as quieter environments help reduce stress levels and improve concentration .
Tarkett’s new DESSO SoundMaster Thrive backing achieves an improvement in sound absorption performance of up to +0.15 (aw) , equivalent to up to 100% improvement in comparison to standard carpet designs (aw value between 0.15 and 0.20) . The impact sound insulation value (?Lw) of the expertly-designed carpet backing is up to +5 dB above the standard value*.
Moreover, reflecting Tarkett’s dedication to developing products that are good for humans, and for the planet, this innovative acoustic backing is 100% safely recyclable in our own carpet recycling centre, contains 100% positively defined ingredients , and has ultra-low antimony content.
When used alongside a carpet tile collection that is Cradle to Cradle® certified, the backing will ensure the original flooring certification level is maintained.
