Happy ! We hope everyone had a relaxing and restful weekend 💫

Believe it or not, your flooring can influence the acoustics and sound insulation of a space. Here's how:

- Hard Surfaces (Tile, Hardwood): Reflect sound, making rooms more lively but potentially noisier.

- Soft Surfaces (Carpet, Cork): Absorb sound, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment.

- Area Rugs: They add a layer of sound insulation, especially on hard floors.

- Underlayment: Installing sound-dampening underlayment beneath flooring can reduce noise transmission.

- Thickness: Thicker flooring materials often offer better sound insulation.
