“Managing Noise in the Healthcare Space through Flooring Specification,” from Ecore says high noise levels can negatively impact the healing process, inhibit clinician efficiency and create compliance concerns.
Some noise-absorbing flooring materials can reduce noise without sacrificing cleanliness or ergonomic comfort.
The white paper cites a study conducted by the University of Hartford Acoustics program that quantified the influence different flooring materials can have on hospital corridor noise.
