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.
The Mason Jack up system eliminates the need for the labour intensive installation of boards. The lifting process ensures an airgap which may be compromised with the panel system if concrete spills through the shutter. The Jack-Up system is highly flexible and assures excellent performance.
Rubber Floating Floor Applications
Air gaps of up to 200mm can be achieved with the jacking process or higher with the use of void former and plinths. Natural frequencies can be specifically achieved in the range of 8-12 Hz by the careful selection of isolator types and spacing.
The elastomer used in the Mason system is now LDS (Low Dynamic Stiffness) rubber which is a recent advanced formulation and combines the advantages of the low dynamic characteristic of rubber with the longevity of bridge bearing neoprene. Higher deflections are possible, resulting in lower natural frequencies and higher isolation performance compared to other types of rubber.
We have successfully used this product for recording, radio & TV studios, cinema auditoria, music rooms, gymnasiums and plant rooms. Our clients include the BBC, Royal Opera House, Sadlers Wells, BSkyB, Channel 4, Cinemas Operators and many more.

Jack Up Acoustic Flooring
Jack up concrete flooring is the best way acoustically and also the most cost effective system.

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 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.
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.
