We’ve orchestrated the acoustic isolation of over 200 cinemas worldwide using the CineFLOOR range.
Utilising over 60 years’ experience in acoustic isolation, Farrat have created CineFLOOR as the ultimate answer to the cinema market’s most demanding acoustic challenges.
As the first range of high-performance acoustic floating floors designed specifically for cinemas, CineFLOOR offers designers, buyers and clients a ‘simple-to-select’ acoustic isolation solution for auditoriums of all shapes and sizes.
The ultimate isolation grade for a new generation of 4DX cinemas.
CineFLOOR MAX Features:
- ƒn @ Operating Load: 10 Hz
- ƒn @ Dead Load: 13 Hz
- Height: 215 mm
- Weight: 3.7 kN/m2
- Air Gap: 50 mm
Designed specifically for 4DX auditoria, CineFLOOR MAX incorporates high damping isolators to control and constrain vibration while still providing exceptionally high levels of sound insulation performance.
Where optimal performance meets optimal price.
CineFLOOR PRO Features:
- ƒn @ Operating Load: 9 Hz
- ƒn @ Dead Load: 11 Hz
- Height: 165 mm
- Weight: 2.5 kN/m2
- Air Gap: 50 mm
Our most frequently specified grade of acoustic floating floor. CineFLOOR PRO suffers no compromises from low mass or high stiffness isolators to achieve the highest ratio of acoustic isolation vs. price.
Maximising sound insulation with minimal imposed load.
CineFLOOR LITE Features:
- ƒn @ Operating Load: 9 Hz
- ƒn @ Dead Load: 17 Hz
- Height: 110 mm
- Weight: 0.5 kN/m2
- Air Gap: 50 mm
When an existing structure cannot support the load of a heavyweight floating slab, CineFLOOR LITE utilises our very lowest dynamic stiffness isolators to extract the maximum low-frequency performance.
Market-leading sound insulation for cost-constrained projects.
CineFLOOR NEO Features:
- ƒn @ Operating Load: 21 Hz
- ƒn @ Dead Load: 27 Hz
- Height: 130 mm
- Weight: 0.3 kN/m2
- Air Gap: 85 mm
CineFLOOR NEO is our 100% timber acoustic floating floor for projects where material supply and/or cost is significantly constrained. The ideal solution for smaller projects.
Choose from our four CineFLOOR Grades
From multiplex cinemas to boutique auditorium and private viewing rooms, CineFLOOR acoustic floating floors will keep sound constrained to its source so that you can create truly immersive auditory experiences.
However, we know from our experience that every cinema has a unique acoustic profile and that one size or system does not fit all.
So we designed four grades to reflect the most common variables:
- auditorium size
- shape, location
- acoustic function
- audience capacity
- technical specification
- budget
- lead time
To identify which CineFLOOR grade of acoustic floating floor is right for your auditorium, use our suitability table opposite.

We provide our customers with the best technical solutions to their engineering challenges and we always uphold client interest to make sure that the project is delivered successfully.
Design, Manufacture & Supply
Each CineFLOOR grade uses natural rubber isolators that are manufactured by Farrat in the UK, under an ISO 9001 compliant quality management system. All systems have been performance tested in UKAS and IPAC accredited laboratories.
The compounding and manufacture of our isolators is backed by over 60 years of Farrat research and development in elastomer science. The full range of Farrat Vibration Isolation Elastomers can be found here.
Special care has also been taken to consider build-ability, reliability and robustness in each design to ensure that the operator’s key interests are upheld, such as acoustic performance, longevity and lifecycle cost.
CineFLOOR designs do not require any ongoing maintenance and will last for the entire lifetime of a building. We are so confident of this that we offer performance warranties up to 25 years – the longest in the industry.
