DESSO SoundMaster Carpet

Unwanted sound or noise can be a major impediment to health and wellbeing. Students might not be able to hear their teachers effectively; office workers may not be able to concentrate well or collaborate in open plan spaces; and patients may find the bad acoustics stressful, hampering their recovery times.

Introducing DESSO SoundMaster®, an optional acoustic backing which controls sound by insulation and absorption, reducing the unwanted noise. It offers an impact sound insulation value (ΔLw) up to +10 dB above the standard value*), thereby setting a new industry standard in carpet performance.

DESSO SoundMaster® achieves an improvement in sound absorption performance up to +0.15 (αw)10)*, equivalent to up to +100% improvement in comparison to standard carpet designs (αwvalue between 0.15 and 0.20)**.

SoundMaster not only helps control noise but also provides better underfoot comfort and its thermal qualities add to creating a comfortable space.

Example of upcycling

On top of its expertly designed functionality, the SoundMaster® backing is a clear example of upcycling with its 80% recycled content from used PET bottles.
