Timber Frame Isolation System – Farrat CineTIMBER PRO

Timber frame acoustic isolation system, designed for lightweight commercial multiplex cinema stadia seating frames.

Features and benefits:

• Based on composite stadia decking made from plywood, dense plasterboard and in some cases cement particle board.

• Able to achieve very high levels of sound insulation without using concrete.

• Designed to achieve similar levels of sound insulation and vibration isolation as typical concrete tiered seating structures by inducing additional mass.

• Mass can be induced by hanging undercroft ceilings from the structure and/ or pre-compressing the CineTIMBER PRO isolators.

• Although CineTIMBER PRO is based on a timber frame, it does not require one and is used regularly as a lightweight steel frame/ timber stadia hybrid.

• Warranty: Up to 10-years.

Applications:

• Commercial cinemas.

• Lecture theatres.

• Home cinemas.

• Existing structures.

Components:

• Timber or lightweight steel/ timber hybrid stadia seating frame (contractor-supplied).

• M8/10/12 fixings or bolts (contractor-supplied).

• Farrat bespoke-cut CineTIMBER PRO isolator pads, 25 mm thick.

• Farrat CineTIMBER PRO acoustic washers.

• Structural slab, existing or contractor-supplied.
