Acoustic Comfort Systems
Systems that damp impact sound at its source with a continuous surface applied over a resilient mat, building quietness into the floor itself.
Quietness, too, is a building material.
Footsteps, a chair being pulled, the clatter of a dropped object: effects that define the quality of a day spent in a space, yet are usually forgotten when the floor is being selected. Acoustic comfort systems damp impact sound right at its source with a resilient mat placed beneath the continuous decorative surface; the sound weakens before it can travel to the floor below and to neighboring spaces.
The strength of this system is that it unites two different expectations in a single build-up: on top, a seamless, aesthetic and easy-to-clean surface; underneath, a resilient layer that absorbs the sound. In offices, educational buildings and every building where life is stacked floor upon floor, an acoustic comfort floor is not a measure added later but a right decision made from the start.
- Damping at the source: Impact sound weakens within the system, not on the surface.
- Seamless aesthetics: The acoustic layer works invisibly beneath the seamless decorative surface.
- Walking comfort: The resilient build reduces fatigue in spaces where people stand for long periods.
- Respect between floors: The spaces below are protected from the sound of life above.
Where noise is a problem and quietness has value.
Acoustic comfort finds its place in every space where noise affects productivity and quality of life.
Open-plan offices
Working floors with constant footsteps and movement.
Educational buildings
School buildings with classrooms stacked above classrooms.
Libraries and reading rooms
Spaces where quietness is the function itself.
Healthcare and care areas
Patient floors where rest must be protected.
Hotel floors
Preserving guest comfort between floors.
Multi-story office buildings
Buildings where different tenants work stacked above one another.

The sound gets lost in the resilient layer.
The system’s acoustic behavior comes from the resilient mat beneath the surface; the layers above complete the comfort and the aesthetics.

Different degrees of comfort.
The mat’s build and the surface’s character are adapted to the space’s acoustic expectations.
Standard comfort
Balanced damping for offices and education.
High damping
For spaces where quietness is the priority.
Matte decorative finish
A calm-looking, reflection-free surface.
Colored composition
Color selection in harmony with the corporate identity.
The calm tones of quiet spaces.
The tones below represent the characters most frequently chosen in acoustic systems.
The tones here are representative examples only. Color and texture selection is finalized together over physical samples, according to the space’s light and use.
What is expected of an acoustic floor.
Impact sound damping
Footsteps and impacts weaken at the source.
Walking comfort
The resilient build reduces fatigue.
Continuous surface
A seamless, hygienic decorative finish.
Everyday durability
Resistance to office traffic and furniture.
Color options
A wide palette in harmony with the space.
Easy upkeep
An easy-to-clean surface that does not hold marks.
As expectations rise, the system deepens.
The classification below is indicative only. The final system is determined by assessing the building’s slab type and the space’s acoustic expectations.
