Jack-Up Spring Floating Floors
The jack up spring floating floor is used for low frequency isolation or where impact isolation is required, such as bowling alleys, gymnasia and health clubs.
The jack-up spring floating floor system can also be used to isolate a sensitive space from external sources of noise and vibration, such as trains, railways and underground systems.
The jack-up system typically uses 25mm deflection powder coated springs, which are designed to provide lateral as well as vertical stiffness to ensure stability and isolation is provided in every axis. The system can also be installed with higher deflection springs to achieve lower natural frequencies, down to 2.2Hz, as required.
High Performance Floating Floors
Air gaps of up to 200mm and floor thicknesses of up to 250mm can be achieved with the jacking process. We work together with architects, acoustic consultants, structural engineers and contractors to advise and collaborate on designs to achieve the desired performance, as well as providing supervision and installation to ensure that everything meets the client’s expectations.
We have successfully installed jack-up spring floors in a wide variety of applications, such as gyms, mechanical workshops, plant rooms and bowling alleys.
If you would like to enquire about jack-up spring floors, please contact Mason UK’s acoustic engineers by using the details in the blue bar at the top of the page. We are always happy to provide advice, details and recommendations as required, and will work with you from design through to installation to meet the demands of your project.
Here’s how we installed sprung jack-up concrete floating floors for Pure Gym in Bicester.

Acoustic Floating Floors
Floating floors systems are used for many purposes, predominantly to prevent noise passing through the floor but also to isolate against vibration and impact
Concrete Floating Floors
Floating floors systems are used for many purposes, predominantly to prevent noise passing through the floor but also to isolate against vibration and impact.
MFS-B 25mm Deflection Floor Spring Mount
Our MFS spring mounts are available with higher deflection 25mm springs (titled MFS-B). Utilising our 30-B series springs enables the mounts to achieve lower natural frequencies and therefore improve isolation performance from typical gym activities, compared to the standard MFS mounts.
MFS-AJ Adjustable Floor Spring
The MFS-AJ is a jack specially built for attachment to joists and its used as part of a lightweight acoustic floating floor system. The ability to adjust the height gives it an advantage over the standard MFS when placing jacks on floors that aren’t level.
MFS-AF Adjustable Floor Spring
The MFS-AF is an acoustic floating floor jack specifically built for lightweight floors. The ability to adjust the height gives it an advantage over the standard MFS when placing jacks on floors that aren’t level.
MFS Lightweight Floor Spring
It is often necessary to provide an wooden acoustic floating floor rather than the heavier concrete construction with wood topping. Cost or weight restrictions may be the factor.
Dry and Formwork Acoustic Floor Systems
The best performing floating floor systems are typically heavy and thick, using a concrete layer, such as our jack up floating floors. However, sometimes this is undesirable, or not possible due to structural and building limitations, and a lightweight system is required.
Super W Pad
Super W pads feature unique waffle pockets which allow for greater deformation of the material, providing excellent isolation performance. Super W anti-vibration pads can be supplied in multiple configurations to suit most situations.
Jack-Up LDS Rubber Floating Floors
The Mason FSN Jack-Up acoustic floor system can be used as the crucial part of achieving box in box construction for studios or rooms requiring a high level of acoustic separation or simply providing acoustic or impact isolation from one area to another.
Dry and Formwork Rubber Floating Floor
The Dry Rubber Floating Floor system is the traditional method of creating a floating floor. Isolators are placed at regular intervals across the area and the floating floor built on top.
