The Masse Flottanti™ Method: Acoustic Science and Engineering
Masse Flottanti™ is an exclusive patented engineering method developed by STS Isolamenti.
More than a building material, it is a rigorous scientific approach to analyzing the propagation of sound waves in order create noise control solutions tailored precisely to each individual source.
Beyond Standard Soundproofing Solutions
The acoustic insulation market often relies on standardized solutions. While such extensively used materials as mineral wool may reduce noise, the enclosures built from them tend to be oversized, increasing structural loads. What’s more, they can obstruct airflow in and around equipment, causing reduced energy efficiency.
Precision Acoustic Engineering
Masse Flottanti™ goes beyond the standard approach. Developed and refined over more than forty years of field testing and by way of partnerships with Centro Ricerche Fiat (CRF) and INRiM, the method enables us to calculate the exact frequency to be neutralized.
Based on a mathematical and physical foundation, it facilitates precise engineering of the material layers according to the configurations required for each individual project.
A Methodology at the Foundation of Our On-Site Performance Guarantee
This analytical protocol underpins our competitive advantage in the B2B sector. Our engineers translate the Masse Flottanti™ methodology into 3D CAD environments, a practice that minimalizes the margin of error during installation and allows us to provide a contractual guarantee of the acoustic performance upon completion of the project.
