Adairsville, GA – CFL Flooring (Creative Flooring Solutions), a global leader in hard-surface decorative solutions, announces a new patent grant covering its advanced acoustic SPC technology, further strengthening the portfolio licensed globally through i4F. The newly granted rights enhance CFL’s ability to identify protected implementations in the market and enforce its intellectual property, providing greater certainty to licensed manufacturers and customers adopting the technology.
CFL’s patented multi-layer construction is designed to address one of the key challenges of hard-surface flooring: noise. By combining specifically engineered layers targeting different sound frequencies, the technology reduces reflected and transmitted footfall noise, room echo and floor squeaking, while also delivering a softer feel underfoot. The solution builds on CFL’s longstanding expertise in acoustic wood, laminate and thermoplastic flooring.
The latest grant further matures CFL’s acoustic SPC patent portfolio and strengthens the value proposition available through i4F licensing, giving manufacturers access to a proven acoustic solution supported by clearly identifiable and enforceable patent protection.

“This latest patent grant is an important step in the maturation of our acoustic SPC portfolio,” said Thomas Baert, Co-founder and President of CFL Flooring. “Beyond protecting the technology itself, it strengthens our ability to identify its use in the market and gives our licensing partners greater confidence in the enforceability of the IP behind the solution.”
