Trading Floors
Shaking screens. Interrupted concentration. What is distraction costing your trading floor?
Your people, technology and workspace represent a substantial investment. Persistent floor vibration can undermine it, moving monitors, shaking desks and disrupting concentration.
CALMFLOOR delivers targeted active floor vibration control with minimal disruption, helping your teams work in a more stable, comfortable environment.

Small movements.
Potentially significant costs.
Repeated screen movement can make information harder to read and focused work harder to sustain. Across a team, daily distractions can carry a significant cost.
Consider 50 staff earning an average base salary of $200,000: a $10 million annual salary investment. A hypothetical 10% loss of productive capacity equates to $1 million of that investment. This illustrative calculation excludes bonuses and trading outcomes. It is not a measured vibration-related loss or a forecast of CALMFLOOR savings.
How much productive capacity can you afford to lose to a problem that can be assessed and addressed?
Protect performance and tenant confidence.
Persistent vibration can turn occasional frustration into recurring complaints and management pressure for action.
Trading businesses need to restore suitable working conditions without interrupting operations. For owners and asset managers, unresolved issues can weaken tenant confidence, increase pressure for concessions and put lease renewals at risk.
Control vibration without a major refurbishment.
Structural stiffening can involve opening floors, adding steel or concrete and closing affected areas. CALMFLOOR offers a compact alternative. Active Mass Dampers connect directly to slabs or structural beams above or below the affected floor. Depending on building design, units can be concealed beneath floors, within floor voids or inside fixed furniture. Installation can often be planned outside opening hours, helping avoid prolonged closure and disruption.
Installed above the structural floor and typically concealed within the floor build-up or other available space.
Installed below the floor structure, allowing the occupied floor above to remain unaffected.
Attached directly to the supporting structure where this provides the most effective or practical installation location.
Active control.
Measurable improvement.
CALMFLOOR counteracts vibration in real time, controlling multiple frequencies simultaneously and adapting within its 3–30 Hz operating range. It can reduce problematic floor vibration by up to 90%, with performance, unit numbers and locations dependent on the structure and project requirements. Used independently or alongside other measures, it can reduce additional structural steel and concrete, supporting cost and embodied carbon objectives.
Establish what works before committing.
CALM Sim and suitable structural data help CALMFLOOR or your consultant assess predicted performance and potential unit locations.
Onsite testing measures floor response with and without active control during agreed activities. Experience the difference and use the results to guide deployment, starting with the areas causing the greatest problems.
Ongoing visibility and support.
CALM Connect provides around-the-clock hands-free monitoring, performance data and remote firmware updates.
Included at no extra cost with CALM Care, it combines visibility with maintenance and breakdown cover, subject to the service terms.
