Ecore Releases New Surface-Generated Noise Test Data
In 2018, ASTM introduced a new standard for measuring the floor impact sound of floor coverings (ASTM E3133). As part of Ecore’s commitment to acoustics and transparency, it had an independent lab test five surfaces to the new standard: concrete, VCT, LVT, Ecore Origins, and Ecore Vinyl Rx.
ASTM E3133 provides designers with a key acoustic metric for the healing environment. Testing to ASTM standards (like E3133) allows architects and designers to make an “apples-to-apples” comparison of the performance of products from various manufacturers.
