Thanks to a certified technology known as Silente, Bauwerk has revolutionised the installation of wood flooring by reducing footfall noise by 70%. The result is achieved by means of a soundproofing support laid diagonally under the floorboards, and patented for installation either with or without adhesive. The system not only makes the floor quieter, it makes it more elastic too, thus reducing stresses on users' joints.
Silente technology makes exclusive use of natural substances, which helped the Silente+Cleverpark combination to win Cradle to Cradle CertifiedCM Silver certification - a worldwide first.
Cradle to Cradle is a closed cycle that certifies not only the use of eco-sustainable raw materials from fair trade sources, but also the use of renewable energies and the recyclability of the materials.
The Silente soundproofing mat, consisting of 71 fully regenerable elements, can be used in conjunction with all Bauwerk products. Sold in loose rolls, it is easy to glue to existing flooring, in remodelling projects, to help reduce noise.
Thanks to the layer of Silente, what's more, the wood flooring can be totally dismantled intact, and returned to the manufacturer for sanding and the application of a new finish. So while the residues of mat and adhesive are collected on site and recycled, the flooring itself can be entirely renovated.
