Key Facts

484m² of Acoustic Floating Floors

1450 Isomat Isolators

96m of FAVIM perimeter isolation strip

The Challenge

Farrat was specified by a specialist fit out architect and was asked by the local contractor to provide an acoustic floating floor solution for a conference and entertainment suite in the prestigious Radisson Blu hotel in Bahrain. A global search had already been undertaken in order to find a provider who could deliver excellence in engineering support as well as products.

The client felt comfortable that they could install the floors themselves but required both products and consultancy expertise/ technical support and so tasked Farrat to provide installation diagrams which showed exactly where each isolator should be placed and also how each sheet of ply formwork should be cut and positioned.

The Solution

Global supply of market leading vibration solutions has become a specialty of Farrat in recent years. As such as well as bespoke installation diagrams Farrat provided Isomat floor isolators and FAVIM perimeter isolation strips enabling the client to successfully install everything on schedule. Engineering consultancy expertise is fast becoming a key element of the company’s export service offering due to the innovative nature of its acoustic solutions.

The scale and unique requirements of commercial buildings abroad is often completely different to those being installed in the UK and companies thereby rely on Farrat to help design and deliver optimal acoustic solutions. In this scenario the end use application was highly sensitive from an acoustic perspective and so Farrat was able to add considerable technical value into the specification process.
