Are you having footfall problems?

If I were to machine a plinth, I’d choose Corian, rather than any metal. Even if it meant stacking and gluing sheets; to obtain an adequate thickness/depth. I’ve used the stuff, in a number of installs/applications, for resonance control. If your tools/CNC router bits are sharp; it machines nicely and can be polished to a beautiful finish. It’s resonance damping characteristics are much better than any metal.

@deanshias, If your problem is a flexible floor, then the term footfall relates to the very low frequency (<4Hz) vibration that occurs as you walk across the floor. In this case, mass & resonant damping with metal or anything else is not going to work unless you add so much mass (weight) that the floor is loaded sufficient not to bounce - but you may overload the floor. So what @millercarbon recommends with springs (or air bladders) is the best way to solve footfall unless you can stiffen the floor from underneath or avoid the floor entirely and shift to a wall mount. |
