When designing an auditorium, it is critical that the acoustic performance of the cinema screen is not compromised by rigid connection to any surrounding structures.
Our CineSTEEL systems ensure that the most important secondary structure in a cinema, the raked seating, is kept totally independent of the main structure, the structural floor slab and any adjacent screens. This keeps cinema sound where it belongs and prevents unwanted noise intrusion.
Designed for lightweight cold-rolled and SFS structures which impose line loading, CineSTEEL LITE utilises high-strain expanded polyeurethane strips to extract maximum isolation performance despite low dynamic mass in the structure.
The CineSTEEL LITE wide load range allows it to be used in a variety of lightweight structures, supporting plywood and plasterboard stadia without the requirement for precise load capacity/isolation performance balancing calculations.
The same acoustic isolation strip type can be used throughout the whole raked seating structure, enabling delivery from stock and simple installation.
The longest in the industry.
All CineSTEEL grades use acoustic isolators that are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2021 accredited quality management system. Our performance test data is supplied from our in-house laboratory, which is regularly checked and referenced with UKAS accredited, independent laboratories.
Special care has also been taken to consider buildability, reliability and robustness in each design to ensure that both the installers and the operator’s key interests are upheld – such as acoustic performance, longevity and lifecycle cost. We work regularly with the most respected cinema brands and project teams currently leading the market, including Cineworld, VOX, VUE, REEL, Odeon and Empire.
We are so confident of this that we offer performance warranties up to 25 years – the longest in the industry.
Farrat Installation Services have supplied clients from a wide range of projects with the guarantee of complete isolation, overseen by our team of project managers and engineers with specialist experience in acoustic and vibration isolation.
If installation is not required from Farrat we will support project managers and contractors with onsite installation training.
