Do the Flexi-Felt® chair leg covers reduce classroom furniture noise?
They do so very well since the Flexi-Felt® furniture leg glides were specifically designed to protect floors and to reduce noise caused by chair movement by 90%. We have tested the Flexi-Felt® classroom noise reduction capabilities by using a Decibel meter to be able to measure our chair leg cover’s effectiveness in a classroom. We simply measured the noise generated by a classroom of children getting up at recess and then made the same measurements after the Flexi-Felt® were installed. We repeated the same tests again but this time measuring the sound difference from the room under the classroom. This is something many teachers and principals in two story schools can appreciate since you are not only subjected to your class’s noise but also from the one above. On average the Flexi-Felt® reduced the noise of a 25 student classroom by over 15 decibels! (See the tests results). This is the difference between the noise of a large diesel truck and a small car cruising along. Studies have s
