The Rigid Acoustic versions feature an integrated acoustic backing layer. This significantly reduces impact sound transmission between floors (up to 19dB reduction), making rooms quieter. It also enhances underfoot comfort and can help absorb minor subfloor imperfections, simplifying installation compared to Dryback versions.
