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.
