Vinyl sheet flooring with closed-cell foam backing engineered to reduce impact sound transmission to floors below. Typically ΔLw 17–19 dB per EN ISO 717-2. Specified for multi-storey hospitals (ward above ward), hotels (room above room), schools (classrooms above offices), and high-rise residential.
Acoustic vinyl combines a standard heterogeneous or homogeneous vinyl wear sheet with a closed-cell polymer foam backing. The foam decouples impact energy (footsteps, dropped objects) from the structural slab, dampening sound transmitted to the floor below.
Closed-cell foam backing (typically expanded PVC, EVA or specialised acoustic compound) bonded to a vinyl wear sheet at manufacturing. Total assembly thickness 3.5–5.0 mm typically.
