When building use evolves, CALMFLOOR vibration control adapts with it

Buildings will always be subject to change. An office might be reconfigured as a life sciences lab, the HQ could change its layout to suit a growing team, dedicated workspaces morph into collaborative hubs. Whether the requirement is for new equipment, more people or an entire retrofit, these types of changes will impact the ability of the building’s systems to counter problematic floor vibration.

Conventional approaches to mitigate and resolve floor vibrations, such as columns, pillars, tuned mass dampers and added steel or concrete don’t lend themselves well to evolution. When the floor vibration brief shifts, it’s critical you can continue to control the floor and maximise the performance of your building and people.

CALMFLOOR active mass dampers (AMDs) are compact, portable and built to deliver game-changing active floor vibration control in any space regardless of layout and the potential for layout updates. All this without any structural change – meaning your building stays operational no matter what needs to change.

Unrivalled retrofit vibration control

When adapting a building for new use, conventional retrofits introduce extraordinary levels of mass, complexity and downtime. On top of that structural changes like slabs, columns and TMDs are expensive and invasive – and they delay occupancy.

CALMFLOOR avoids this entirely.

CALMFLOOR AMDs are not tied to the building structure – they’re deployed exactly where floor vibrations need to be controlled. As the space evolves, CALMFLOOR units can be moved and redeployed to target the floor’s new hotspots with zero redesign. No concrete, no compromise, no delays.

Designed for change, built for precision

Before any change happens, CALMFLOOR’s specialist simulation service will model and predict vibration behaviour in a range of different scenarios based around your new use. Vibration behaviour will be identified and new strategic positions for each AMD confirmed.

By targeting only the zones where vibration arises and controlling it with pinpoint accuracy, CALMFLOOR ensures ongoing optimal performance across every change of use. This is essential in high-precision environments, where floor vibration may be affected by relocated partitions or equipment, such as in life sciences spaces like labs and healthcare environments.

Future-proofing asset investment

CALMFLOOR supports flexible, long-span layouts without locking you into fixed, over-engineered solutions. The open-plan, contemporary, spacious space remains intact. When tenant needs or business functions shift, the building can accommodate them without compromising floor performance.

This adaptability protects long-term value and serviceability – buildings that can evolve without structural rework retain both commercial appeal and compliance.

Deployment in hours, not weeks

CALMFLOOR AMDs are installed in hours and can be relocated without disruption. No intrusive works. No shutdowns. No compromise to continuity.

From repositioned office partitions to relocated lab benches, CALMFLOOR evolves with your floor plan – and keeps delivering optimal floor performance with floor vibrations reduced by up to 90%.

Ready for tomorrow’s challenges

CALMFLOOR eliminates the compromise of additional mass and structural change over design and ease of change. Where traditional solutions disrupt operations and restrict future layout flexibility, CALMFLOOR offers an unrivalled alternative – technically robust, portable, ready to adapt and fast.
