These floors are quieter and deliver better performance, creating a better workout experience for gym users. Noise – […]
There are two important aspects to gym soundproofing: Soundproofing from gym activities (e.g. clattering weights) – this is achieved by reducing noise transfer between spaces Soundproofing and shock absorption from impacts (e.g. dropped weights) – this is achieved with a high-performance floor If we can absorb a percentage of noises and vibration in these areas, […]
Gyms generate a lot of noise. We’re talking weights, treadmills, cable machines, shouting, grunting, music and so much more. Without adequate effort to reduce noise – and especially its ability to travel and bounce around – gyms are not such a pleasant place to spend time, that is unless you have your earphones in or […]
