Acoustic Floating Floor System - Farrat CineFLOOR NEO

100% timber acoustic floating floor system for cost-constrained projects.

Features and benefits:

• High levels of sound insulation can be achieved due to the variable stiffness response of the isolation strips (note there are compromises at the lowest frequencies).

• Farrat CineFLOOR acoustic isolators provide flexibility in terms of dynamic stiffness and damping. Bespoke configurations are available; consult manufacturer for details.

• Can be designed with a combination of timber, plasterboard and cement particle board layers to offer variable mass and resistance to moisture.

• Easy to install, with minimal operational maintenance required.

• Part of a range of acoustic floating floor solutions for auditoriums of all shapes and sizes.

• Provides complete flexibility in terms of dynamic stiffness and damping.

• Warranty: Up to five years.
