Every premises has different characteristics and we can offer information advice and where required can work with a qualified Acoustic Engineer to provide a solution that addresses both the issue and your budget.

Two big offenders for impact noise and Vibration are Free weights of all kinds including kettlebells and large olympic barbells and treadmills !! If you have an existing Olympic Lifting Platform we can provide a custom built isolation system that utilises your own platform.
There are many cheap, imported products available on the market. We do not offer these products. We source from proven suppliers and products that are made in Australia, Germany and from other quality manufacturers around the world. Whilst client budgets are always a consideration, there are many situations in which the problem has to be addressed from a solution perspective, i.e. there is no use buying a cheaper product or system that almost solves a particular issue. Also, when purchasing cheap rubber tiles there are two important factors, firstly that you check the binder in the tiles for Toluene, a carcinogenic, secondly can the supplier provide the appropriate documentations , i.e. slip and fire certification !! Australian Fitness Flooring only uses fully certified and Proven products and systems.
Embelton Platforms systems are generally designed for ACOUSTIC and VIBRATION isolation and are used where the transmission of noise into a structure is offensive to those outside a tenancy, they are not designed for Olympic Lifting in and of itself. We certainly CAN build Isolation Platforms that are specifically designed for this purpose and that will withstand the force of excessive weights being dropped. Alternately, existing Olympic lifting platforms , that are designed to accept the forces of massive weights can be placed ON TOP of an Embelton Isolation platform, it will be designed to take the force of massive weights being dropped and the Embelton Platform on which it is placed can take care of the acoustic and vibration isolation for which it is designed.
Budgets are always a consideration , through our experience we can often help with suggestions regarding layout and providing various solutions within an area , i.e. a smaller isolation platform for the extreme activities and a rubber solution for the less offensive areas.
