Over the years, metal pedestal floors became obsolete for contemporary interior standards such as load capacity, safety, acoustics, and aesthetics.\r\n \r\nMatrix<\/a> has been designed for easy MEP setup with improvements compared to plates on pedestals, which can be summarized in 5 advantages:\r\n\r\nMaximum clearance<\/strong> \r\nDespite its high load-bearing capacity, Matrix has only a 15 cm total height and MEP systems access clearance of a 10-12 cm height and 30-40 cm width.\r\n\r\nHigh load-bearing capacity<\/strong>\r\nThe load capacity of metal access floors is less than 1 t\/m2. Matrix forms a concrete structure that can withstand more than 15 t\/m2, which makes it suitable for supporting heavy equipment, vehicles, and mass pedestrian traffic. The system is also walkable before the pouring of concrete.\r\n\r\nAcoustic performance<\/strong>\r\nMetal raised floors are known for their poor acoustic performance. Matrix creates a monolith concrete surface that prevents the reverberation of footsteps and furniture, offering the improved acoustic performance of the floor. \r\n\r\nSuitable for any kind of floor finish<\/strong>\r\nMetal floors are not convenient for every kind of finish due to their structural grid. Matrix creates a stable, flat surface suitable for any kind of finish, including parquet, mosaic, ceramic tiles, or contemporary epoxy and concrete coatings.\r\n\r\nFast and easy installation<\/strong>\r\nMetal flooring systems have many small parts e.g pedestals, feet, and screws, that demand various attachments and tools. Matrix has only 2 elements, installed by simple pressure hooking: the base grid and the top formwork.\r\n\r\n \r\nContact us<\/a> to use Matrix in your next project.<\/font>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
