Recent studies conducted by an independent testing laboratory show that when it comes to acoustics, commercial cushion makes carpet even better. To specifiers and end-users, it will come as no surprise that properly specified carpet cushion reduces noise when used in a commercial installation. What will be of interest is the degree of improvement that has been quantified in scientific studies.
The combination of a commercial carpet and commercial bonded polyurethane cushion was found to have greater than double the noise absorption capability when compared to the same carpet without cushion. More absorbed sound means a quieter workplace and fewer distractions to the employees—paving the way for productivity gains and greater satisfaction in the workforce.
