- Design renewal reflecting stone interior trends… achieves seamless interior design

- Continuously adopted in major new construction sales complexes… strengthens market position in the special sales sector

KCC Glass (CEO Jung Mong-ik) announced on the 27th that it is launching its high-performance flooring product 'Forest Sound Rest' to strengthen its efforts in targeting the special sales (B2B) market for newlyweds and families with young children.

Forest Sound Rest is a PVC flooring featuring a thick 6mm profile and a highly elastic cushion layer, delivering excellent noise reduction and shock absorption effects. It is particularly gaining attention in the new construction apartment special sales market, especially among newlywed couples and households with young children.

According to actual test results from the Korea Construction & Living Environment Research Institute (KCL), Forest Sound Rest reduces lightweight impact noise generated by concrete structures by approximately 19dB. Compared to standard hardwood flooring products, it demonstrated a noise reduction effect about 58% superior and shock absorption capacity more than double that of conventional options.

In addition, Forest Sound Rest incorporates a high-strength transparent layer, making it resistant to dents and scratches. Its waterproof properties inherent to PVC material and minimal seams facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, a special UV coating layer containing hinoki cypress oil has been added to provide deodorizing functionality.

Superior eco-friendliness and hygiene are also key advantages. The product is manufactured using an eco-friendly production process that eliminates harmful formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), minimizing toxicity. It has obtained the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment's Eco-Label certification and the Korean Atopic Association's recommended product mark. Tests conducted by the Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR) confirmed its antiviral performance, showing a 99.9% reduction in coronavirus (HCoV-229E) applied to the product surface within 24 hours.

Recently, Forest Sound Rest has significantly enhanced its design competitiveness through a renewal. The number of available designs was expanded from five to ten, and the product now features a wide range of 600×1200mm and 600×600mm wide stone designs that reflect the 'Stone+Interior' trend favored by younger consumers using large-format tiles.

Additionally, the 'coordinated embossing' technology aligns printed patterns with surface embossing to realistically replicate the texture of natural materials. New designs have also been added to harmonize with KCC Glass Home C.C.'s film finishing material, 'VICENTI Interior Film,' enabling visually spacious and neatly organized 'seamless' interior effects when installed together.

Building on its enhanced product appeal, Forest Sound Rest is rapidly expanding its presence in the new construction apartment special sales market. It has been sequentially adopted in major projects including ▲Seongnam Pangyo Daechang A-10BL, ▲Goyang Janghang A-4BL, and ▲Pyeongtaek Godeok Ab57-2BL, with a particular focus on increasing supply to public housing complexes such as the Newlywed Hope Town.

A KCC Glass representative stated, "In the recent new construction apartment special sales market, demand is rapidly growing for flooring that comprehensively considers not only design but also noise reduction, safety, and eco-friendliness." He added, "Forest Sound Rest is a product that has strengthened both functionality and design in response to these market changes. We plan to expand its application scope beyond public housing complexes to include private developments as well."
