Desso SoundMaster®, to overcome noise pollution in the home

 A major nuisance in daily life, noise pollution is characterized by high noise levels. Depending on its intensity, measured in decibels (dB), and the duration of exposure, noise can have harmful effects on health and quality of life. Noise reduction and the optimization of acoustics are therefore important and recognized factors of environmental quality in offices, schools, hospitals or any commercial space.

With SoundMaster®, DESSO provides a solution to improve acoustic performance and reduce noise pollution.

SoundMaster® is a carpet underlay with a unique multi-layer design specially developed to optimize noise reduction and acoustic performance. Specifically designed to be added to the backing of DESSO carpet tiles, it is made of 100% polyester (40% recycled), a material chosen for its advanced sound insulation and absorption properties.

While standard carpet reduces impact noise by 20 to 30 dB, DESSO SoundMaster® achieves an additional impact noise reduction of at least 10 dB above the standard impact sound reduction value, setting a new industry standard for carpet performance. For comparison, floor coverings (excluding carpet) provide a value between 5 and 10 dB.

Additionally, in terms of sound absorption, the SoundMaster® underlay can increase the acoustic performance level by 60%. Many factors determine the sound levels in a room. By choosing DESSO's SoundMaster®, designers benefit from a very wide choice of carefully considered products capable of providing considerable acoustic improvement in any establishment, thus contributing to the health and comfort of the people who work in these environments.
