Revolutionising floor stability: the game-changing active vibration damper for high-performance buildings

In the modern built environment, floor vibrations are more than just an inconvenience – they can disrupt productivity, compromise sensitive operations and create structural challenges. Whether it’s an office where every footstep makes screens wobble or a high-precision laboratory where the slightest movement affects research accuracy, vibration control is a fundamental concern for architects, engineers and building owners.

Traditional solutions, like adding concrete and steel, come at a cost. Not only do they limit architectural freedom, they also increase embodied carbon, which clashes with the industry’s push towards sustainable construction. CALMFLOOR changes all this with a mission to redefine vibration control. Our world-first active mass damping (AMD) solution eliminates excessive floor vibrations without the need for heavy structural interventions, giving architects, engineers and building owners the freedom to design without limits.

The world’s only active vibration control solution for floor vibration

Recognised for its game-changing innovation, CALMFLOOR was recently featured in Super Innovators, a leading publication that flies the flag for next-generation building technologies. Its recent article highlights how CALMFLOOR’s patented active mass damping technology is transforming commercial offices, research labs and high-performance buildings. Its capability to deliver unparalleled floor stability and support sustainable construction is certainly capturing the construction industry’s attention.

How CALMFLOOR active vibration control works

CALMFLOOR uses real-time vibration sensors and an electrical motor-driven inertial mass to stabilise the floor in milliseconds. When vibrations occur, the active damper moves in the opposite direction, cancelling them out before they become a problem.

Crucially, unlike passive tuned mass dampers that can only mitigate one vibration mode at a time, CALMFLOOR’s multi-frequency active mass dampers dynamically counteract unwanted movement across a wide frequency range (3-30 Hz).

Key advantages of CALMFLOOR AMDs:

Lightweight and space saving: At just 67kg (148lbs) per unit, CALMFLOOR eliminates the need for excessive materials, reducing embodied carbon by up to 50%.

Fast installation: CALMFLOOR eliminates floor vibrations without structural modifications, installation takes just hours, causes zero disruption and keeps buildings fully operational throughout.

Energy efficient: Consuming just 20-25W of power, it’s a low-energy alternative that enhances building sustainability.

Smart monitoring: The CALMCONNECT portal provides BIM-integrated real-time performance data, empowering building owners and managers with actionable insights.

Cost-effective and sustainable: CALMFLOOR reduces costs by eliminating expensive reinforcements, cutting maintenance expenses and supporting Net Zero goals with minimal material use.

Enabling sustainable, high-performance spaces

For architects designing open-plan offices, long-span commercial buildings or cutting-edge research facilities, CALMFLOOR provides unparalleled design freedom. By eliminating the need for unnecessary structural reinforcements, it allows for innovative, lightweight, and sustainable building designs that align with Net Zero objectives.

CALMFLOOR is already making an impact across industries:

Commercial offices: Enhancing workplace stability and creating comfortable, high-performance and productive environments for employees and tenants.

Laboratories and research facilities: Providing vibration-free conditions that are so essential for precision instruments and scientific accuracy.

Hospitals and healthcare: Ensuring stable environments for medical procedures, imaging equipment and sensitive diagnostics.

Office-to-lab conversions: Tackling vibration challenges in retrofitted spaces, supporting life sciences and research developments.

Gaming and entertainment infrastructure: Delivering seamless, high-energy experiences by eliminating disruptive vibrations in arcades, cinemas and event spaces.

Future-proofing buildings with advanced vibration control

As demand for sustainable, high-performance buildings grows, vibration mitigation will play an ever-greater role in shaping the future of construction. CALMFLOOR is leading the charge, enabling engineers, asset managers, and architects to achieve ambitious designs without compromise.
