CONCLUSION
At Forbo, we understand that acoustic performance is an important component of designing buildings and we aim to make the concept easier to understand for those designing for a variety of sectors. We want architects, specifiers and installers to feel more confident having conversations around acoustic performance with their supply chain partners. As with any issue regarding building specification, parts of the concept can be technical, but by sticking to the standards identified in this paper, as well as knowing that we manufacture products that help you achieve the requirements of these standards, we are confident that those in the sector will achieve effective results.
Hopefully, by reading this whitepaper you’ll now have a more solid understanding on the basics of sound. From developing greater knowledge of how it works, to better appreciating how it can affect human health, we hope that readers are more aware of the important role it plays in our everyday lives. Similarly, with the help of our whitepaper, those in the building and construction sector should be able to more effectively plan and execute projects, which meet the relevant acoustic requirements and regulations. In doing so, those in the trade can help to engender a new era of acoustic understanding and performance, which benefits all parties involved.
In this effort, we believe that acoustic flooring solutions hold the key. More than ever before, the market for such solutions is full of powerful, effective and affordable systems, which improve acoustic performance and limit the consequences of excess noise. More-so than with other technologies, these products can enable dramatic improvements in acoustic performance and are easy to fit quickly. Likewise, the extensive number of systems on the market are suited to a wide range of different building environments. At Forbo, we’re proud to lead in this area with our wide selection of both sheet and tile products.
So, whether you’re looking for an adhesive-free vinyl sheet, which can be laid quickly without causing disruption, or an acoustic LVT solution that is setting new standards in acoustic performance, or a comfortable yet hard wearing textile option, look no further than us. With our extensive experience and effective solutions, we’re able to offer powerful products that limit impact building noise and allow architects and specifiers to create more serene, peaceful environments. In doing so, we can help to ensure that building occupants in all types of developments are less exposed to dangerous levels of excess noise and contribute to greater levels of health and wellbeing.
