A positive sound environment

Designs that have good acoustics, along with natural light and ventilation, help create a positive, therapeutic atmosphere.

A positive sound environment occurs naturally outdoors; our ears are tuned to the natural environment, and the sky absorbs noise. We need to create the same indoors, absorbing or diffusing noise to help support a healing environment. Our vinyl acoustic floor Altro Serenade contributes to the impact sound reduction of noise in buildings.

It helps by:

• reducing the impact sound transmission
• increasing sound absorption
• reducing sound reflection

As well as service users, staff, particularly those who spend a lot of time on their feet, will also benefit from a quiet, more comfortable work environment.
