dBack
As a textile, carpet is a natural sound absorber and works to improve impact noise. dBack helps to reduce noise to allow concentration, yet at the same time provide an environment where communication is easy. The backing also absorbs footfall impact, reduces leg muscle fatigue and generally makes the environment a more comfortable place to be.
In short: a durable solution for buildings with additional acoustic requirements.
Our acoustic carpet tile backing dBack trumps sound, improving productivity and well-being in modern offices.
