Through the use of a patented multilayered construction, both reflection and transmission footfall noise are significantly reduced. All hard surface floor covering solutions today have come a long way in improving in durability, beauty, waterproofness, etc. But whether you're talking about laminate, wood, tiles or SPC, all still share the same downside to varying degrees, and that is sound. Through these patented technologies, which consist of multiple layers of distinctly different materials engineered to each block specific frequencies, the acoustic performance across these hard surface flooring categories is greatly improved.
Antoine Babolat, CEO of Morava, says: 'We are launching an entirely new flooring range that combines the beauty of real wood with all the benefits of hard surfaces – the first real hardwood floor without compromise. The acoustic solution of CFL is the perfect addition to this range, bridging the gap between the latest innovations from the leader in hard surfaces and our European-rooted expertise in working with real wood.'
Tom Van Poyer, CEO of CFL, adds 'Through this license agreement, CFL solidifies its lead in innovative acoustic products in the hard surface flooring category. Morava Wood has a very strong management team with a lot of shared values with CFL, such as the drive to be innovative by solving real time issues (like noise) for end customers, and our continuous work on sustainability projects, to just name a few.'
