Stability under pressure in combination with elastic behaviour are the crucial characteristics for highly effective surround sound panel under parquet and laminate flooring. The newly developed manufacturing technology from Kronotherm TS fulfils these requirements in an ideal fashion. Kronotherm TS comprises natural wood fibres which are meshed together in a three-dimensional pattern in a process which has minimal impact on the environment using environmentally-friendly binding fibres.

KRONOTHERM TS ensures under all parquet and laminate flooring that the customary high-pitched frequency ranges with high-expansion foam are shifted to deeper frequency ranges which are much easier on the human ear. This means substantially improved sense of wellbeing in the room.

In addition, laying Kronotherm TS substantially improves foot fall insulation. This means less transmission of sound to dwellings below and thus an increase in living quality and a reduction in noise pollution. Kronotherm TS achieves for the intensity of 5 mm a foot fall improvement if ΔLw=21 dB. The investigations were carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 140-8.

The improvement of the noise level with the use of Kronotherm TS is assessed as follows:

+ 0.5 dB(A) – improvement only perceptible under good acoustic conditions

+ 1.0 dB(A) – perceptible threshold for improvement

+ 3.0 dB(A) – halving signal energy

+ 6.0 dB(A) – halving the noise level
