DescriptionWith over 100 years of collective experience and expertise in the Construction Acoustic and Anti-Vibration Industry, Cinesystem Floors have been developed for the most demanding floors in the industry. The cinema and theatre floor.

From initial design, manufacture, supply, installation and inspection, we will work with the key stakeholders to ensure that the Soundis Cinesystem Floor selected is the most effective solution for your project.

With flexibility of our designs we guarantee we can meet the most arduous criteria of the required, taking into account floor loadings, overall floor build-up, desired frequency isolation along with airborne and impact sound insulation.

We look at each project on an individual basis and engineer the solution to suit. There are four main systems, offering different levels of performance, load capabilities, overall weight. They all have in common our Soundis Vibrax Bearings with over 13 different variants we can fine tune the floor to offer the widest range of performance available in the world.

Soundis Vibrax Bearings are manufactured from a mixed cellular elastomers made from special polyurethane, non-cellular materials.Soundis Vibrax Bearings exhibits gas volumes embedded in the structure, as a result, the material is volume compressible under static and dynamic load. This means that the spring stiffness does not exclusively depend on shore hardness and shape. The load deflection curve is almost linear up to the maximum static constant load. With higher loads on the bearings, a regressive behaviour follows, which allows the bearing to react to additional dynamic forces particularly softly, enabling optimal vibration isolation.

All in all this gives us the ability to accurately model the performance of the floor design.

Typical Acoustic Performances

www.sound-is.comInfo@sound-is.com

Soundis CineSystem – Ultra(Concrete/Structural Screed)

Concrete floating cinema floors is the natural choice of a floated build-up due to the additional mass that this system provides and offers the greatest acoustic benefit. This system also offers the greatest strength, whilst the large dead load that the floated slab provides, ensures minimal movement under the addition of any live loading.

Live Load 7.5kN/m2 Hz Live Load 7Hz

Dead Load 4.5kN/m2 Hz Dead Load 10.4Hz

Void 50mm Bearing Vibrax 950

Rw 75dB* ΔLw 36dB*

Soundis CineSystem – DryLite

Where an existing structure cannot support the load of a medium or heavyweight deck, CineSytem DryLITE utilises the low dynamic stiffness isolators to give the maximum possible low-frequency performance from a lightweight floating deck.

Live Load 5kN/m2 Hz Live Load 7.7Hz

Dead Load 2kN/m2** Hz Dead Load 11.55Hz

Void 50mm Bearing Vibrax 650

Rw 73dB* ΔLw 36dB*

Soundis CineSystem – Dry

Where it is not possible to install a Concrete floating cinema floor. The Dry systems is the next best thing, Utilising the latest technology in dry screed panels, with a 1500kg/m3 density it offers a medium dead load floating deck which ensures minimal movement under the addition of any live loading. The Soundis Dry Screed Panel Ultra has exceptional strength and can be laid directly to the bearings eliminating the need for a structural plywood deck.

Live Load 4kN/m2 Hz Live Load 8.47Hz

Dead Load 1.5kN/m2** Hz Dead Load 13.5Hz

Void 50mm Bearing Vibrax 650

Specifiers Guide

When Specifying and Cinema or Theatre floor, which is probably one of the most difficult type of floor to specify due to the complexity of intertwining factors that must be considered. Not only are we looking at the loads it needs to carry, the general acoustic performance is a large factor, but isolating the low frequencies that are found in these auditoria is key to a good performing floor.

With all these types of floors it is extremely important they are installed correctly with the specification being followed closely. Omitting the Perimeter Strips and spacing the blocks at different centres will cause the floor to fail it’s acoustic test. We do recommend this type of floor is installed by approved installers.

Soundis with it’s vast experience is here to work with the designers to ensure that every box is ticked and that nothing is left chance. So that when time is come to test the floor, there are no nasty surprises that will crop up.

When you are ready specify your Cinesystem Floor, we will ask for some critical information that will help us specify your floor.

• Plan and sectional drawings• Acoustic Report• Dead Load on the floor• Live Load on the Floor• Maximum Point Load on the Load• Detail on the Arena Seating• Isolation Frequencies• Impact Sound Performance• Airborne Sound Performance

Once you have successfully specified the floor you will want to consider other elements to this build

• Isolation of Partitions and Walls• Isolation of the Ceilings in the theatre and below the theatre• Isolation of the Seating frame• The reverberation control in the auditoria• Isolation of piping, ductwork, air handling units and HVAC equipment

Soundis CineSystem – Dry-Levelling

Where it is not possible to install a Concrete floating cinema floor. The Dry systems is the next best thing, Utilising the latest technology in dry screed panels, with a 1450kg/m3 density it offers a medium dead load floating deck which ensures minimal movement under the addition of any live loading. The Soundis Dry Screed Panel Ultra has exceptional strength and can be laid directly to the bearings eliminating the need for a structural plywood deck.

The levelling cradle and batten allows the system to overcome the uneven sub-floors up to 150mm differential in levels. This system eliminates the need to screed the sub-floor prior to the installing the CineSystem floor.

A minimum void of 100mm is created with this system and the undercarriage can be used with the Dry and the Lite.
