Matrix
Modular formwork for concrete raised floors with MEP systems
Matrix is a recycled polypropylene formwork for reinforced concrete raised floors that facilitate the passage of MEP systems. Unlike the raised floors with a metal substructure, Matrix guarantees a high load-bearing capacity of up to 15 t/m2. This makes it suitable for a wide range of buildings, especially those with heavy load requirements.
Matrix allows a quick and intuitive setup. The base modules create an orthogonal grid that props the positioning of MEP with great precision and flexibility. Concrete is then poured over the top formwork, creating a monolithic walkable base. Matrix provides maximum clearance for MEP systems. With only 15 cm of total height, Matrix allows a 10-12 cm net height and 30-40 cm width for the passage of installations.
MEP system maintenance is provided by inspection shafts for technical compartment access that can be placed according to project demands. Matrix creates a concrete structure that isolates MEP from flooring, allowing safe evacuation in case of fire. Matrix also improves floor acoustics and is suitable for any type of top-finishing (laminate, marble, wood, linoleum, etc).
