Nakuru. Unheard of, such a quiet floor.

Parquetvinyl is the latest generation of vinyl floors that has very little in common with the older techniques such as vinyl on a roll. In essence, it’s a rigid carrier based on limestone, combined with an innovative top layer that faithfully reproduces the imperfections of wood and/or stone. So we’re talking about a sturdy plank or tile. Thanks to the ingenious structure, you can hardly tell the difference between Parquetvinyl and real wood flooring or a ceramic tile.

Less reflected noise


A cosy meeting up with friends on a Friday evening; there is surely always something to celebrate, isn’t there? Besides the music and clinking glasses, you obviously still also want to be able to strike up a chat. Nakuru absorbs up to 30% more reflected and walking noise in the space than other hard floors.
Less reflected noise

The quietest floor on the market.

Besides the small dramas and the big parties happening on your floor, your home must also be an oasis of calm so you can also recharge your batteries. You prevent very many negative effects on health, such as stress, headache, sleeping disorders and learning problems, by reducing ambient noise. And let that be exactly the purpose of this collection: Nakuru is not made of one material, but a number of layers of materials each blocking different noise frequencies. That remarkably improves the acoustics in the space (for you) and between different spaces (for the people living below you).

5 key benefits of a soundproofing floor

In your home, you seek to unwind, recharge your batteries, relax after the day, and enjoy a peaceful sleep. But you also want to make the beautiful moments even more special, accompanied by music, an emotional soundtrack, clinking glasses, or hearty laughter. A quiet floor helps you in both scenarios.

Improved sleep thanks to your quiet floor

Whether you live with an early riser or night owls who prefer to stay up late, a soundproofing floor reduces disturbances from housemates with different sleep schedules, even in your bedroom.

Positive impact on your health

Noise pollution can cause or exacerbate various health issues such as stress, headaches, sleep disorders, or learning difficulties. With our acoustic floor, you reduce ambient noise, positively impacting your health.

Reduced impact of household activities

Ideal for your own home or in an apartment with downstairs neighbors, Nakuru Parquetvinyl dampens footsteps, loud conversations, and music, making for worry-free gatherings.

Enhanced concentration, from work to relaxation

Enjoying your book without interruptions? A quiet floor minimizes distractions. Nakuru helps you focus on work in your home office, allows your kids to concentrate on their homework, and even creates pleasant acoustics in the office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most people have an idea of what an acoustic floor is, but confusion and uncertainties can still arise. Below, we answer the most common 'frequently asked' questions.

What makes an acoustic floor quiet?

Our acoustic floor consists of multiple layers, each blocking different sound frequencies. The premium vinyl layer already provides some sound absorption, further enhanced by an additional sound-absorbing layer and a sound-absorbing underlay.

Can I make my current floor into a quiet floor?

You could make your current floor quieter with a carpet, but that may not be suitable for every room, and the effect is limited. The best way to make a floor quieter is by choosing a sound-absorbing underlay. With Nakuru, the underlay is integrated, so you don't need to purchase and install it separately.

Is a sound-absorbing floor suitable for every room?

Our Nakuru sound-absorbing collection has the same properties as our other vinyl floors, making it suitable for any room. Its 100% waterproof feature allows for use in bathrooms without any issues. Additionally, it excels in ease of maintenance, making it the ideal choice for kitchens or hallways.

Is an acoustic floor durable?

The Parquetvinyl acoustic floor is highly durable. Our 0.55mm wear layer is substantial, and with its wear class of 33, you can also choose Nakuru for your office or shop.

Does an acoustic floor look different?

Our sound-absorbing floor looks as warm and realistic as the other high-quality LVT floors from Parquetvinyl. The long planks or elegant herringbone pattern add style to any space, and the synchronous surface structure provides a realistic wood look and natural appearance. Still unsure?
