In addition, protecting your ears from repetitive, loud sounds is always a good idea for future ear health. This means that often, they will not complain about you skating and you can do so freely.
The quieter you can skate your mini ramp, the less of obstruction you will be to others. These are reasons to soundproof your ramp beyond the classic, good-natured case of wanting to make your skating a pleasant experience for others. It can be difficult to hear what’s around you while skating on a mini ramp.The sound bothers you after a period of time.Due to the logarithmic nature of the scale this represents a 50% diminution in sound energy.Before getting into the myriad of ways there are to help soundproof your ramp, it is a good idea to list the reasons why you might need to in the first place.Įven if you do not have neighbors or other people complaining about the noise, there are still reasons to soundproof your setup.
The sound absorption properties of the foam in conjunction with the above effects served to reduce measured sound levels in the vicinity of the ramps by at least 10dB. The sprayed application which penetrates all nooks and crannies coupled with 25 fold expansion of the foam ensures that all potential air gaps are plugged minimising airborne sound transmission from the underside of the ramp and surrounding enclosure. Provides strength and sound-insulation and cuts out unwanted air leakageīeing physically attached to the wooded/metal surface the material dampens the reverberation after an impact. More efficient and a better fit than cutting foam-boards Spray foam insulation has the following advantages over other sound proofing methods: The measurement of 10dB difference represents a reduction of half the sound energy. After applying sound absorbing spray foam a peak reading measured a SPL of 86dB with over six times the amount of activity by the skaters. Sprayed on insulation can also help to dampen the level of the impact sound produced as the skater lands on the ramp.Ī detailed survey and monitoring of the activity recorded a peak reading of 96dB upon impact by the skaters. Reducing the vibration associated with the activity on the ramp in turn helps to reduce noise. This helps reduce vibrations caused by skaters on the ramps. Revolution Ramps optional sound proofing is achieved by applying Spray Insulation foam to the underside of the ramps.
The Ramp coping is made of 50mm o/d aluminium tubing with a 5mm wall Optional surface of 1mm thick coated steel sheet can be used as a surface at an extra cost. Ramp surface is manufactured from 2圆mm thick treated plywood sheet that is screwed then bonded to the wooden frame to provide a continuous riding surface. Handrails are manufactured using 30 x 30 x 2.5mm square steel hollow section for the frame with 16mm round solid bar welded vertically to the frame with 100mm centres.Īll handrails to be shotblasted, zinc rich primed, then a finish coating by way of polyester powder coating. Transitions on half pipes, quarter pipes, etc are manufactured using Treated CLS Timber (L)2400 x (W)89 x (T)38mm.Īll frames to be twice coated with wood preserver, and once coated with Polyurethane alkyd resin Ramp frames are manufactured using Treated CLS Timber (L)2400 x (W)63 x (T)38mm, and are boxed in using 18mm WBP Exterior Plywood.
