DESSO SoundMaster Thrive® Engineered for Quiet, Designed for Wellbeing
Quiet Floors. Healthier Spaces. Smarter Choice.
When it comes to creating better environments - whether it’s an office, a classroom, or a public space - noise matters. Excess sound disrupts focus, raises stress levels, and impacts wellbeing. That’s why DESSO SoundMaster Thrive® was designed to do more than simply cover the floor. It helps absorb sound, enhance comfort, and support healthier indoor spaces.
How It Works - Advanced Acoustic Performance Built In
Unlike standard hard-backed Carpet Tiles, SoundMaster Thrive® features a high-performance felt backing that works in harmony with the Carpet's face fibres to actively trap and absorb sound.
- Up to 100% improvement in sound absorption compared to conventional Carpet Tile backing
- Helps reduce both impact sound and ambient noise, supporting better focus, clearer communication, and reduced stress
- Contributes to healthier, more productive environments in offices, schools, and public spaces
Soft Underfoot. Strong on Performance.
The high-density felt backing doesn't just quieten your space - it provides a noticeable layer of comfort underfoot. It softens the step, reduces fatigue during long workdays, and helps create more inviting interiors.
