Farrat has supported architects, specifiers, engineers, and construction professionals

For over 60 years, Farrat has supported architects, specifiers, engineers, and construction professionals with high‑performance solutions that enhance building comfort, reduce energy loss, and improve structural performance.
As specialists in Thermal Isolation, Building Acoustics and Vibration control they help project teams create buildings that meet modern expectations of efficiency, usability, and occupant wellbeing reflecting Farrats mission as “engineers on a mission to support a better world.”

Headquartered in Altrincham, UK, Farrat combines consultancy, design, and engineered products to solve complex built‑environment challenges across commercial, residential, cultural, and industrial projects fundamentally improving building performance.

Farrat’s work spans across three technical disciplines that align closely with the needs of contemporary architectural design: vibration control, acoustic isolation, and structural thermal performance. Each discipline addresses a specific challenge faced by design teams, but it is their integration that delivers the greatest value.

As expectations for acoustic comfort rise across commercial and cultural buildings, Farrats isolation products provide reliable control of structure‑borne noise and vibration. They are widely used in cinemas, auditoriums, mixed‑use developments, studios and performance spaces, education and healthcare environments, plantrooms and mechanical floors and hotels, leisure facilities, and commercial buildings.

Farrat manufactures high‑performance elastomeric materials, floating floors, wall isolation systems, and bespoke anti‑vibration solutions that protect sensitive spaces from unwanted noise and structural vibration.

Their product families include: BowlFLOOR, CineFLOOR, MechFLOOR, LeisureFLOOR, CineWALL, CineSTEEL, and CineTimber which are all available in Max, Pro, and Lite classifications, allowing design teams to match performance to project requirements. These systems are specified extensively across cinemas, theatres, studios, universities, hospitals, commercial buildings, and leisure venues.

As part of Farrats expertise, thermal bridging has emerged as one of the most persistent challenges in façade and structural design. Farrat’s structural thermal breaks including STRUKTRA™ and the A2‑rated TBF range are engineered specifically to mitigate thermal bridging without compromising structural strength.

These solutions are typically used in balcony connections, façade brackets, columns, beams & bracket connections and steel and timber load-bearing junctions where conductive materials can undermine energy performance.

STRUKTRA™ is certified by BBA, ETA, and BRE offering not only proven thermal resistance but also exceptional stiffness allowing engineers to reduce the size and number of structural connections. Thermal modelling shows that a 25 mm STRUKTRA™ plate can reduce heat loss by up to 18% compared with much thicker stainless‑steel alternatives.

For specifiers, these benefits translate into improved compliance with modern regulations, reduced condensation risk, and more energy‑efficient building envelopes.

Behind Farrat’s engineering expertise is a strong commitment to community, education, and workforce development. As a third‑generation manufacturer, the company invests in apprenticeships, T Levels, scholarships, and CPD opportunities to develop future engineering talent.

Their work extends to improving access to technical careers, supporting women in engineering, and partnering with colleges, universities, and policy groups to enhance regional skills pathways.

Farrat has also collaborated with MPs, universities, and education partners to help shape local employment pathways and skills programmes strengthening both the regional economy and long‑term community wellbeing.

Beyond Farrats own workforce, they support local charities including Wood Street Mission and G‑Force, contributing directly through volunteering, fundraising, and community programmes related to homelessness, poverty alleviation, and community development reflecting an ethos that their impact goes beyond their jobs.

As the demands on buildings continue to evolve, particularly in energy efficiency, acoustic quality, and sustainability, the role of specialist engineering becomes increasingly important. Farrat’s integrated approach positions them as a trusted partner for architects and specifiers seeking clarity, performance, and innovation in the details that matter most.

With more than 60 years of experience and a mission-driven culture, Farrat continues to influence how buildings are designed, built, and experienced; quietly, efficiently, and with purpose.
