Enhance your building vibration performance instantly with no structural change

Problematic floor vibration poses serious challenges that, left unresolved, will inevitably extend to a building’s functionality and serviceability. The good news is there is a game-changing solution that will enhance its vibration performance instantly – and without any structural change.

Building owners, operators and managers already know that addressing these issues can be notoriously expensive. Traditional solutions are too often loaded with structural reinforcements, additional materials, straining budgets and increasing project costs. They know that resolving excessive floor vibration takes time. Construction, engineering and planning can stretch into months. They also know that structural intervention = disruption and, when daily operations are interrupted, the potential for the building to be rendered out of action entirely is a very real threat.

The all-too heady, triple-jeopardy mix of cost, time and disruption pressures caused by uncontrolled floor vibration has taken its toll on our buildings and the sanity of their stakeholders for too long. It’s time to switch the narrative – and the performance – up.

CALMFLOOR active vibration control reduces vibration by up to 90%

CALMFLOOR is revolutionary active mass damping technology. It’s redefining how floor vibration is controlled, managed and analysed to offer incredible real-time and historical insights into a building’s performance. This is the world’s only active vibration control solution and offers a completely different approach to conventional vibration-control remedies that include adding steel, concrete, columns or tuned mass dampers.

CALMFLOOR eradicates the problem at its source without the requirement for any structural intervention. This means no disruption, no extended project timelines, no exorbitant costs. No invasive building works means delays are eliminated and spaces remain operational throughout the process. This has never been possible until now.

It’s not just about efficiency credentials; CALMFLOOR is also a sustainable choice. By avoiding structural modifications, the system minimizes material use and reduces its carbon footprint, aligning perfectly with green building initiatives as you reduce your operational carbon impact without compromising your Net Zero ambitions.

Unparalleled applications for CALMFLOOR active mass damping

CALMFLOOR’s compact, 67kg size and versatility makes it suitable for a multitude of building types. In existing buildings, think offices, retail spaces, sports facilities, high-rises and residential complexes, for example, CALMFLOOR will reduce problematic floor vibration by up to 90%. Vibrations caused by foot traffic, machinery and equipment are controlled effortlessly – straight out of the box.

CALMFLOOR active mass damping technology is particularly effective in building retrofits, where changes in use present new vibration challenges. Installing a workplace gym on a building floor that wasn’t designed for such high-impact activity, for example, can lead to significant floor performance issues. Consider too the office-to-lab conversions that continue to fuel an exponential rise in life sciences development and which rely on the integrity of vibration-controlled environments.

The associated impacts of floor vibration problems in these environments are well document and can be severe. Sensitive equipment in laboratories and healthcare facilities is at risk of failing to perform accurately, reducing their operational effectiveness and validity of data. Office environments can become uncomfortable for employees with productivity compromised and non-compliance on the line while the usability of retail and residential spaces can become untenable. In extreme cases, the building’s serviceability, value and reputation and long-term will be left under threat.

CALMFLOOR active vibration control addresses all these concerns seamlessly – fast and effectively. You’ll even have access the unparalleled real-time and historic building data you’ve been missing until now to prove it.

Want a confident switch to active floor vibration control? Book to try before you buy…

CALMFLOOR offers the world’s only try-before-you-buy resource. It’s an invaluable service that gives building owners, managers and operators first-hand experience of this groundbreaking technology’s instantaneous impact on an existing floor’s vibration problem.

A specialist simulation service is also available, providing irrefutable insights for a confident switch to active mass damping. Using your building’s modal data, advanced software and expert analysis, our experts will model your floor’s vibration behaviour, identify potential problem areas and evidence the reduction in vibration that can be achieved. A simulation also validates the system’s performance against a range of scenarios, ensuring compliance, avoiding costly over-design and mitigating the damaging excessive vibrations that can cause so much pain for building stakeholders.
