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.
Our 100% recycled CineSTEEL NEO raked seating isolation system can be used without precise acoustic performance calculations. The sheets can be cut to size and drilled on site, facilitating very fast delivery and installation.
CineSTEEL NEO is based on a hot-rolled steel frame supporting up to 150 mm concrete stadia, however unlike higher-performing grades, does not require load specific calculations and multiple isolator specifications due to the variable stiffness response provided from the cork-filled elastomer.
The higher overall stiffness does result in isolation performance compromises at the very lowest frequencies, however there are still many applications for CineSTEEL NEO within commercial cinemas.
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.
