There are a few key factors that contribute to the relatively low noise levels of Charisma laminate:
- Underlayment - Charisma laminate is typically installed with a high-quality, sound-dampening underlayment. This helps absorb impacts and reduce the "click-clack" noises associated with walking on laminate.
- Construction - Charisma uses a dense, high-quality core material which helps minimize hollow or resonant sounds. The premium construction helps dampen noise.
- Surface texture - The surface texture of charisma laminate flooring tends to be smoother and less "crunchy" sounding compared to more budget-friendly laminates.
- Thickness - Charisma laminate planks are on the thicker side, around 12mm, which further contributes to a quieter walking experience.
Overall, most users report that Charisma laminate has a very muted, low-noise profile when walked on, even in large open spaces. Of course, proper underlayment installation is still important to maximize the quiet performance.
