Interface LVT certified by Quiet Mark

[Atlanta] Interface was awarded the global Quiet Mark certification for superior noise reduction for its Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) products featuring Sound Choice backing. According to Quiet Mark, Interface is the first flooring manufacturer and one of the first organizations headquartered in the U.S. to receive the certification.
 
Interface LVT significantly outperforms other standard hard surface flooring options such as vinyl composition tile (VCT) and polished concrete, particularly through its ability to reduce impact sounds, such as footsteps or dropped objects, the company said. According to the company, impact sounds can cause floor-to-floor disturbances, and can be particularly problematic in multi-story office, education, healthcare, multi-family and hospitality environments. According to Interface, its Sound Choice backing is a component of the company’s Level Set™ LVT collection, allowing for improved acoustic additions without the addition of costly underlayments.
 
“Interface is progressive in its approach to product development and recognition of the importance of a product’s impact and contribution to the user’s experience within a built environment. Not only does their new LVT deliver market-leading sound reduction, but the fact that the acoustic element is built in means that anyone who buys this product will receive the sound-absorbing benefits, even if they are buying it primarily for the style, durability or environmental credentials,” said Quiet Mark chief technical officer Toby Saville.
 
“Quiet Mark certification of our Level Set LVT by the British Noise Abatement Society recognizes our product's unique noise-reducing performance,” said Interface vice president of product innovation and insights Lisa King. “Interface designs products that are not only environmentally sustainable, but that also create positive experiences and spaces for people and groups."
