- [BowlFLOOR PRO](https://farrat.com/product/bowlfloor-pro/): BowlFLOOR PRO is designed to deliver the greatest balance of acoustic isolation, performance and cost. An intermediate layer between the bowling lane and the isolator boosts acoustic isolation performance by providing additional mass damping and reducing dynamic stiffness. Comprising of dry-trades only, BowlFLOOR PRO is also designed to deliver optimal installation speed.
- [BowlFLOOR LITE](https://farrat.com/product/bowlfloor-lite/): Where an existing structure can’t support the load of a heavyweight floating slab, BowlFLOOR LITE utilises high dynamic deflection polyurethane to extract the maximum possible low-frequency isolation from bowling lane structures that don’t incorporate an additional floating slab.
