Isomat Acoustic Floating Floors
Farrat Isomat Acoustic Floating Floors are used extensively in buildings as architectural isolation products to prevent acoustic and structure borne vibration disturbance from propagating through the structure especially where quiet spaces are located near noisy areas. They have been developed to provide high levels of acoustic and vibration isolation performance whilst being economical, easy and quick to install and incorporating mostly recycled or sustainable components. They can be used in a vast array of applications including: cinemas, performing arts facilities and concert halls, bowling alleys, nightclub dance floors, broadcasting and recording studios, conference rooms, hotels, gymnasiums, hospital operating theatres and sensitive equipment areas, mechanical equipment, plant and back up generator rooms, helipads, manufacturing facilities, instrument & nanotechnology facilities, anechoic chambers, city centre residential dwellings and offices, buildings near road or rail networks etc.

Thermal Break Connection Plates
Farrat Thermal Break Connection Plates are high performance, medium and high strength thermal insulators used between flanged connections of internal and external steelwork and concrete to prevent thermal / cold bridging.
Produced from high performance materials they provide a simple, economical and extremely effective solution to meeting Part L of the building requirements by way of reducing heat loss and the risk of internal condensation.
Farrat Thermal Breaks are also ideal for hot climate conditions to insulate the cool, air conditioned interior from the hot outside conditions (hot bridging).
Pads are supplied according to the customer's drawings, cut to size with all holes or slots etc drilled and clearly labelled for easy identification on site.
- High load TBG 300
- Medium load TBN 100
Precision Levelling
Farrat’s Levalators and Precision Wedge Levelling Elements provide a system of installation of large, heavy, long bed or precision equipment which require a very rigid connection to their foundations as well as accurate alignment for satisfactory performance; for example machines which are subjected to significant changes in load distribution during operation. Farrat Precision Wedge Levelling Elements (WL-LE) can be used for supporting and levelling machinery and equipment during construction, erection and operation.
Farrat also offer a comprehensive range of Machine & HVAC equipment levelling and anti-vibration mountings.
