Farrat work in partnership with the construction industry to create the most exciting and technologically advanced new and updated leisure facilities, using the ultimate solutions to the leisure industry’s most demanding engineering challenges.
Our range of acoustic isolation products and expert installation services means our clients can design state of the art cinemas, theatres, concert venues, gyms and bowling alleys that seamlessly co-exist alongside its surrounding area.
Structural thermal breaks can help ensure that all new build facilities meet and exceed energy efficiency regulations and aspirations, working to help the leisure industry reduce it’s carbon footprint.
We deliver planned engineering solutions on schedule to help your keep your project on track, and our engineers are available before, during and after our product or service is onsite.

High Performance Sound Insulation
Vibration control solutions are used to support buildings and building structures to provide protection from low frequency ground-borne noise and vibration generated from external sources such as underground railways for the entire life of the building.
Farrat design and manufacture a comprehensive range of ever improving standard and bespoke products; ranging from individual Acoustic Bearings through to complete Building Isolation Systems including;
Acoustically Isolated Façades
Whilst cladding is attached to the structure of the building, it typically does not contribute to its stability. However, cladding does play a structural role by transferring wind loads, impact loads, snow loads, and its own self-weight back to the structural framework. Wind causes significant pressure on the surface of buildings and cladding must have sufficient strength and stiffness to resist this load, both in terms of the type of cladding selected and its connections back to the structure.
High-quality, well-designed, and professionally installed cladding can help maximise thermal performance, minimise air leakage, and optimise natural daylighting into a building. This can in turn help to optimise energy efficiency and lower capital and running costs. Poor design detailing or installation, however, will compromise cladding performance and can result in safety problems such as cladding collapse or cladding panels pulling away from the structure.
