Some spaces generate more impact noise than others and some spaces are more sensitive to it. Here is where floating floors make the biggest difference.

• Recording Studios A recording studio cannot function if impact noise from surrounding spaces bleeds into the recording environment. Floating floors are a standard part of any serious studio acoustic build isolating the room from the rest of the building structurally.
• Hotels and Residential Buildings Footfall noise between floors is one of the most common noise complaints in multi-storey residential and hospitality buildings. A floating floor acoustic system installed between levels significantly reduces impact noise transmission and improves the comfort of occupants on lower floors.
• Cinemas and Home Theatres Low-frequency bass from cinema speakers travels easily through building structures. Floating floors, combined with other acoustic treatments, contain that energy within the cinema space and prevent it from disturbing adjacent areas.
• Gyms and Fitness Facilities Weight dropping, running machines, and group fitness classes generate substantial impact energy. Without proper acoustic floor treatment, that energy travels through the entire building. Floating floors contain it at the source.

Industrial and Mechanical Spaces Machinery, generators, and mechanical plant produce constant vibration that transfers into the building structure. A floating floor system under heavy equipment significantly reduces the structural noise that reaches occupied spaces nearby.
