SOUND

REDUCTION

Whether you want peace and quiet between floors, or are protecting confidential conversations from prying ears, the acoustic treatment of floors can make a huge difference to the way sound travels.

The revolutionary Marldon StrataBase system is a complete floor build-up achieving up to 49dB sound reduction, resulting in a low-profile solution, and is compatible with underfloor heating. The system provides vital acoustic damping under a wide range of hard floor finishes without adding significantly to the overall thickness of the floor covering.
