Vibration protection starts at the foundation
Traffic, machines or neighbouring plants generate vibration that travels through the ground into buildings. An elastic bearing between component and subsoil interrupts this path – most effectively when planned early.
Protection against vibration
Elastically supported buildings and foundations are protected from traffic and ambient vibration.
Safe load transfer
Elastomer bearings carry loads from slabs, beams and roofs and accommodate movement.
Planning certainty
We support you with design, data sheets and tender texts.
Typical applications
- Vibration-isolated building and concrete foundations
- Elastomer bearings in concrete and reinforced concrete construction
- Bridge bearings and civil structures
- Tunnels
- Swimming pools in spas and hotels
- Impact sound insulation for floors and walls
Recommended systems & technical data
| Recommended system | Load range (static continuous) | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| PUR elastomer, light to very heavy | 0.042 – 2.5 N/mm² | Building and base bearings, foundations – down to approx. 8 Hz |
| PU-bonded rubber granulate/fibre mat, class G1–G8 | 0.02 – 1.50 N/mm² | Foundations, screed and impact sound decoupling |
| Elastomer bearings (CR, NR) | to design | Slab, beam and bridge bearings |
Indicative values for static continuous load. Final design is project-specific.
FAQ
When should elastic building bearings be planned?
As early as possible – ideally at the preliminary design stage; retrofitting is usually very complex.
Do you provide tender texts?
Yes, sample specification items are available in our download area (German) and can be adapted to your project.
