isolation and noise control products and systems for over 40 years. We
pioneered the use of pre-compressed molded fiberglass for vibration isolation.
Throughout the years, we have developed and refined a complete line of noise
and vibration control products. In addition to the vibration isolation products
illustrated in the brochure, we also offer complete designed pipe riser isolation
systems, computer-assisted seismic design, engineered floating floor systems
for control of airborne and impact noise, and a complete selection of barriers,
absorbers and damping materials. Kinetics offers the engineering expertise,
laboratory, and field testing capabilities to work with you and your acoustical
consultant to develop a solution to your specific noise control problem.
