• Sound Isolation for Gym Located Above Popular Restaurant

    The brief: Reduce impact noise from the level above
    Structural floor type: concrete slab 
    Products used: GenieMat FIT08 and GenieMatFF25

     

    When a high-intensity gym was built directly above an upmarket restaurant, sound control was a top priority.

    The goal was to upgrade the sound insulation performance of the existing concrete slab and significantly reduce the transfer of impact noise from heavy-weight drops. 

    To solve the issue, GenieMat FF25 was installed as a floating floor system beneath a lightweight timber floating floor, with GenieMat FIT08 added on top. This combination provided both structural decoupling and impact absorption, ensuring the quiet dining atmosphere below remained undisturbed.
