I4F Obtains Licensing Rights to CFL's Acoustic Innovation for SPC
Las Vegas, NV, January 28, 2025-I4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, has obtained licensing rights to CFL Flooring’s new patented acoustic innovation for SPC.
The new technology enhances acoustic properties by reducing noise from walking, room echoes, floor squeaking and insulates sound transmission to lower floors, while also providing a softer feel underfoot.
CFL’s patented multi-layered construction significantly reduces both reflection and transmission footfall noise. While hard surface flooring options, such as laminate, wood, tiles and SPC have evolved in terms of durability, aesthetics and waterproof capabilities, they still encounter the challenge of noise. This technology utilizes multiple layers of specifically engineered materials, each designed to block specific sound frequencies. As a result, it offers improved acoustic performance across these flooring categories, addressing the noise issue more effectively than traditional solutions. CFL has a strong patent portfolio and extensive know-how on acoustic flooring products including industry-leading acoustic wood, acoustic laminate, and acoustic thermoplastic such as multi-layer SPC/LVT.
