IXPE and Acoustics: the silent core of Karvora SPC floors
Acoustic comfort is essential in modern living.
A floor can be beautiful and durable, but if it’s noisy, the experience suffers.
This is why Karvora uses IXPE, a technology that makes flooring quiet, soft and comfortable.
1. What is IXPE?
IXPE (Irradiated Cross-Linked Polyethylene) is a high-density technical foam designed to:
• absorb impact noise
• reduce vibrations
• improve underfoot comfort
• increase floor stability
2. How IXPE acoustic insulation works
a) Impact noise reduction (ΔLw)
Footsteps and daily movements generate vibrations.
IXPE absorbs and disperses them.
b) Ambient noise attenuation
Less echo, less resonance, more comfort.
3. Why IXPE is superior
Compared to EVA, cork or standard foams, IXPE offers:
• better acoustic absorption
• long-term stability
• moisture resistance
• controlled elasticity
• perfect compatibility with SPC
4. IXPE and living comfort
IXPE improves:
• softness underfoot
• stability
• safety
• durability
5. Why Karvora chooses IXPE
Because it delivers the perfect balance of technology, comfort and performance.
