EnviroQuiet, FloorFolio Industries

The rubber backing on this luxury vinyl tile makes noise dampening a cinch.


To meet sound-isolation requirements, multifamily projects often require an underlayment beneath flooring finishes. EnviroQuiet vinyl tile from FloorFolio has a 3mm-thick, noise-reducing underlayment that is bonded to its underside, expediting installation by eliminating the need for adhesives. The system is available on all of the company’s laminated vinyl tiles, which contain at least 60% post-consumer recycled content. floorfolio.com
