The present disclosure describes a sound attenuating flooring system. The sound attenuating flooring system has a subfloor, a sound attenuating material overlaying and contacting only a portion of the subfloor, and an overlayment. The sound attenuating material has a first surface and second surface. The first surface is defined by a plurality of outwardly projecting hollow protrusions. The second surface is defined by a plurality of open recesses corresponding to the plurality of outwardly projecting hollow protrusions. The overlayment overlays the second surface of the sound attenuating material.

Acoustic articles, decorative elements, and system comprising the same can include a decorative element having a first side and an opposing second side, and an acoustic article disposed on the opposing second side of the decorative element. The acoustic article can include an entangled fiber structure. The acoustic article can have a thickness of at least 0.4 mm, and can compress less than 25% of the thickness thereof when subjected to a pressure of 2 lbf/in.sup.2.

The present disclosure relates to a floor panel, comprising a laminate of a core layer, comprising a ceramic or mineral material and a binder a first pair of opposite edges, said first pair of opposite edges comprising complementary coupling parts allowing to mutually couple of plurality of floor panels to each other, a top layer, comprising a ceramic material or a natural stone, wherein the side of the core layer facing the top layer comprises a reinforcement layer, locally having a higher density than the density of the rest of the core layer.

A making plastic flooring having a backing contains: a body which has a substrate, a printing layer, and an anti-abrasion layer. A method of making the plastic flooring contains steps of: (A). producing a semi-finished plastic flooring, wherein the semi-finished plastic flooring has the substrate, the printing layer, and the anti-abrasion layer; (B). moving and positioning the semi-finished plastic flooring on a predetermined position of drop plastic equipment, wherein the semi-finished plastic flooring is faced upward; (C). molding the backing, wherein the backing material is melt and is spray onto a bottom of the substrate of the semi-finished plastic flooring by using drop plastic equipment, and the backing material is adhered on the bottom of the substrate of the semi-finished plastic flooring after being solidified; and (D). cutting, wherein the semi-finished plastic flooring having the backing is removed and is cut into a desired size, thus producing the body.

The disclosure belongs to the technical field of soundproof flooring, and discloses a floor mat and a floor. The floor mat includes a floor mat body made of foamed material. At least one surface of the floor mat body is provided with a number of soundproof units with the same area. Each of the soundproof unit has at least one soundproof structure. At least one of the numbers, shapes and distribution positions of the soundproof structures are different. The floor mat of the present disclosure can play a sound absorption effect; at the same time, a plurality of chaotic sounds are dispersed and mutually offset, which effectively isolates most of the sounds and has a good soundproof effect.

Disclosed are a stone-plastic floor and a method of preparing the same. The resin substrate of the stone-plastic floor of the present disclosure is prepared by using raw materials with specific components and amounts, without using any plasticizing agent, toughening agent and foaming agent and without environmental hidden dangers. The resulting stone-plastic floor has high strength, high hardness, excellent shrinkage performance and no environmental hidden dangers, and can tolerate direct sunshine, and has good stability and long service life for use safety. The method of preparing the stone-plastic floor of the present disclosure has simple processes, enabling online continuous production with high production efficiency.

Panel suitable for assembling a floor covering by gluing a plurality of said panels onto a substrate, wherein the panel has a substantially planar top side, and a substantially planar bottom side, at least four substantially linear side edges comprising at least one pair of opposite side edges, the panel having a layered structure which comprises a decorative top layer, wherein the decorative top layer shows a dimensional sensitivity to temperature and/or humidity fluctuations, the panel further comprising a reinforcing layer, adhered to the top layer, and having a modulus of elasticity of at least 2 Mpa.

A making plastic flooring having a backing contains: a body which has a substrate, a printing layer, and an anti-abrasion layer. A method of making the plastic flooring contains steps of: (A). producing a semi-finished plastic flooring, wherein the semi-finished plastic flooring has the substrate, the printing layer, and the anti-abrasion layer; (B). moving and positioning the semi-finished plastic flooring on a predetermined position of drop plastic equipment, wherein the semi-finished plastic flooring is faced upward; (C). molding the backing, wherein the backing material is melt and is spray onto a bottom of the substrate of the semi-finished plastic flooring by using drop plastic equipment, and the backing material is adhered on the bottom of the substrate of the semi-finished plastic flooring after being solidified; and (D). cutting, wherein the semi-finished plastic flooring having the backing is removed and is cut into a desired size, thus producing the body.

Provided is technology to reduce interlayer noise occurring in a multi-story house such as an apartment, and more particularly, an environmental and contextual custom-built artificial intelligence (AI) based, interlayer noise abatement apparatus that defines a standard of interlayer noise based on a user environment or a user-specified context, allows an interlayer noise maker to recognize when the noise exceeding the above standard occurs and allows the interlayer noise maker to voluntarily reduce the interlayer noise, and a method of the same.
