Noise-cancelling headphones – for floor vibration

Everyone knows the feeling that noise-cancelling headphones gives you. The chaos fades. The distractions disappear. You’re left with pure, uninterrupted clarity. This analogy explains how CALMFLOOR works within buildings. It’s the world’s only active floor vibration control system, cutting problematic floor vibration by up to 90% instantly – without structural modification.

How it works

• Noise-cancelling headphones detect unwanted noise and generate the equal and opposite sound wave.
•  CALMFLOOR detects unwanted vibration and generates the equal and opposite force with active mass dampers (AMDs).

The result: floors that feel as stable and quiet as they were designed to be, free from floor vibration problems.

Why it matters

The impacts of unwanted floor vibration are serious – it affects:

• Comfort: occupants notice instability and distraction.
• Performance: sensitive equipment and laboratories can’t operate at full capacity.
• Design freedom: architects and engineers are forced to overbuild to compensate.

CALMFLOOR provides a breakthrough in vibration control measures. By cancelling vibration in real time, it gives property owners, operators, engineers and architects the confidence to build lighter, more open-plan and more ambitious structures – without the constraints and concerns about how to reduce vibration after construction.

Benefits at a glance:

• Up to 90% vibration reduction – instantly measurable
• No structural modification required
• Plug-and-play technology – shipped, installed, and active without redesign
• Lower embodied carbon – design lighter, avoid unnecessary materials
• Versatility – proven across life sciences, healthcare, commercial, mass timber and retrofit projects

The same leap forward your ears already made

Just as headphones let you focus on the sound you want, free from background noise, CALMFLOOR ensures your building performs as it was designed, free from disruptive floor vibration problems.

It’s the same groundbreaking switch your ears made with noise cancelling headphones for sound performance. Now, it’s time to make your building perform to the max…
