Noise as an invisible problem: why acoustic insulation is crucial in contract spaces
In contract projects, attention to detail goes beyond the aesthetic or functional performance of spaces, also involving invisible elements such as noise control. Noise pollution is often underestimated but represents one of the main sources of discomfort in high-traffic environments such as hotels, offices, theatres, or conference halls.
Ensuring effective acoustic insulation not only improves user comfort but also enhances concentration, privacy, and overall experience quality—crucial for the success of any contract project.
What is an acoustic insulation floor?
An acoustic insulation floor is a technical solution designed to reduce footstep noise transmission and improve sound absorption in interiors. It is important to distinguish between sound insulation, which prevents sound from spreading through structures such as floors and walls, and sound absorption, the ability of a material to absorb sound waves within the environment, reducing reverberation.
Technically, sound insulation is measured in decibels (dB) and is achieved by using specific materials and layers that attenuate the transmission of sound vibrations. Sound absorption, on the other hand, is evaluated with coefficients such as NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient), which indicates the capacity to absorb sounds across different frequencies.
Why choose carpet as an acoustic solution?
Carpet is one of the most effective materials to improve indoor acoustics, thanks to its natural properties. Its fibrous structure efficiently absorbs sound waves, reducing both footstep noise and reverberation, and contributing to a quieter and more comfortable atmosphere.
Compared to other materials such as PVC, wood or stoneware, carpet provides unique tactile comfort and a sense of softness that enhances the quality of the living experience. Unlike hard floors, carpet helps to reduce echoes and improve acoustic privacy—crucial aspects in shared spaces and open-plan offices.
Carpet as an acoustic solution can be applied in many contexts: hotels, theatres, cinemas, open-space offices and meeting rooms are just a few examples where its use significantly enhances comfort, usability, and functionality.
Our acoustic insulation solutions
We offer carpets with high acoustic performance, thanks to structures and materials designed to optimize footstep sound insulation and sound absorption. In many cases, we integrate carpets with geotextiles applied directly during production, acting as an underlay and further enhancing acoustic performance while increasing product durability by up to 30%.
Our flooring combines functionality with aesthetic care, providing solutions that perfectly integrate into architectural projects, meeting standards of quality and stylistic consistency. Their durability and ease of maintenance make them suitable even for high-traffic environments.
All products are entirely Made in Italy, with constant attention to artisanal quality and certified production processes. These features make our solutions a benchmark for contract projects, delivering performance, aesthetics, and sustainability.
Conclusion
Acoustic insulation is a key factor for the success of any contract project. Choosing high-performance acoustic carpets significantly improves the quality of spaces, enhancing comfort, privacy, and well-being. Our solutions are designed to meet the challenges of any contract space, offering technically advanced, customizable, and sustainable products—ideal for architects, designers, and industry professionals.
