Do I need an extra elastic layer?

Rubber naturally helps to reduce sound and vibration. The step sound improvement can be increased up to 10dB when using an elastic layer under our SPORTEC® tiles. For fitness applications, an extra elastic layer only helps in extreme cases. Therefore we created our Gymcoustic series to get more shock absorption.
For sports fields and halls, an extra elastic layer increases comfort and protects the joints by absorbing shocks so that the body is less stressed. This makes the floor feel more comfortable and a lot safer.
For commercial applications like shops, schools or offices no additional elastic layer is required.
