FM01-RESILIENT FLOOR MOUNTS
The FM01 resilient floor mount is a structural connection
that reduces impact vibration passing through floors. It is particularly
suitable for the discontinuous construction and separating floors
in apartments, villas
& duplexes and any specialised room that requires high vibration
isolation such as multi-story constructions.

SPACING OF TIES -Recommended spacings
of FM01 is at 1800mm * 600mm.
STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE
Matrix Industries FM01 floor mounts comply with Australian Standards.
NOISE REDUCTION
FM01 resilient floor mounts were assessed in field tests comparing
identical isolated and non-isolated rooms within the same building.
The acoustic consultants report stated, The vibration
isolation incorporated into the building is working satisfactorily,
reducing vibration and structure borne noise between the rooms.
This is achieved using Poron 4701 cellular
urethane foam.
DISCONTINUOUS CONSTRUCTION
Where a floor in a building is required to have an impact sound insulation
rating under the requirements of the Building Code of Australia
(BCA) Matrix floor mounts will satisfy these requirments.
INSTALLATION
All ties are manufactured with two 4.5mm and 6.3 mm
holes on each face. This allows the tie to be screwed to timber
using self tapping screws and into concrete using concrete anchors.
Matrix recommends the use of Ramset Light duty masonry anchor, SHURDRIVE
tm and No. 12 Type 17 screw or equivalent.
