Amorim Cork Solutions, a global player in sustainable cork solutions, highlights the continued acoustic benefits of its cork underlayment products under the Go4Cork brand. The latest test results highlight how cork-based underlayments enhance the sound insulation of various flooring types, from wood to SPC and laminates, offering a sustainable, high-performance solution for modern building demands.

Industry-standard impact sound ratings, essential for product classification require strict testing. The tests measured the sound reduction impact of flooring with and without cork underlayments, demonstrate significant improvements in acoustic insulation across all sound frequencies. The decibel readings, the standard unit for sound reduction, confirmed the superior performance of cork underlayments in reducing impact noise.

The use of an underlayment is especially beneficial when combined with floors with historically poor acoustical performance, such as laminate floors. “Our tests clearly show that Go4Cork products ensure significant enhancements, helping to create quieter, more comfortable spaces”, said Susana Silva, Global Technical Manager for flooring at Amorim Cork Solutions.

This makes Go4Cork underlayments an ideal option for renovation and DIY projects that need effective sound insulation and are easy to install, particularly in urban living and multi-story buildings where noise reduction is essential, regardless of the flooring material used.

Amorim Cork Solutions continues to prioritize sustainable innovation, with cork underlayments offering a natural, eco-friendly option for improved acoustics. All Go4Cork products are designed to enhance the acoustic performance of various flooring types when properly installed.
