Burs, Austria — Vibration protection firm Getzner has developed a floating aluminium floor which uses polyurethane foam to isolate it from its surroundings.
The firm says that the products, designated the Sylomer Aluminium Vibration Damper, have been designed specifically for use in rail vehicles and decouple the interior floor from the rest of the train. The polyurethane components absorb vibrations from the body of the train, Getzner said.
