Vibration isolation for fitness equipment

Reduce noise and vibrations from fitness equipment with our acoustic composite vibration foam, Sylomer insulation mats and rubber granulate panels for optimum vibration isolation.

1

Properties of the acoustic composite low-expansion foam

The universally usable acoustic composite vibration foam with a density of 140 kg/m³ is ideal for vibration insulation and for reducing vibrations and structure-borne noise in fitness equipment.

2

Use under fitness equipment

The composite low-expansion foam with a density of 140 kg/m³ and a thickness of 30 - 50 mm (depending on the size and weight of the equipment) is placed directly under the fitness equipment to effectively isolate vibrations.

3

Additional stabilization with wooden boards

For better load distribution, a stable wooden plate should be placed on top of the composite foam. However, when training with weights, where noise is mainly caused by placing or touching down, the additional wooden plate can be dispensed with.

4

Alternative materials for vibration isolation

Sylomer isolation mats are another effective solution for eliminating vibrations from fitness equipment. These can be precisely matched to the dimensions, weight and application of the fitness equipment in question in order to achieve optimum results.

5

Rubber granulate slabs for fitness rooms

Rubber granulate slabs, which are tough and permanently elastic and have a high compressive strength with a density of 980 kg/m³, are suitable as a sound-insulating floor covering for fitness rooms. A covering of 4-10 mm can be used for normal loads. For heavier weight loads, the floor covering can be combined with acoustic composite low expansion foam, either under or over the floor covering, to achieve optimum damping.

6

Cutting and laying instructions

The mats can be cut to a maximum length of 3900 mm and a width of 1250 mm. It is important to note that rubber granules should not be laid on parquet or tiled floors, as the impact of weights could still damage these subfloors.
