GenieMat® FF

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document details the GenieMat® FF floating floor systems, focusing on their design for sound and vibration isolation. It emphasizes the engineering and effectiveness of the product in various applications.
Product Features
The GenieMat® FF system is a continuous underlayment with limited surface contact (4% at 1400 kg/m²) and a low natural frequency (as low as 6 Hz). It supports loads up to 100 kg/cm², is made of 92% recycled rubber, and is resistant to mold, bacteria, fungi, and water. Installation does not require adhesives, and it is compatible with various concrete types without plywood formwork.
Installation Procedure
1. Install perimeter isolation strips on walls.
2. Unroll GenieMat® FF and tape joints and seams.
3. Pour screed or concrete topping.
4. Prepare the concrete surface for the floor finish.
Physical Properties
The document lists models with specifications such as thickness, weight, and area coverage. For instance, GenieMat FF06 is 6 mm thick, weighs 36 kg per roll, and covers 11.1 m².
Performance and Testing
Graphs show system natural frequency vs. load and deflection vs. load. Acoustic test data provides sound transmission class (STC) and impact insulation class (IIC) ratings for different configurations.
Design Parameters
GenieMat FF systems are designed for low natural frequency and effective vibration isolation, with detailed specifications for each model, including natural frequency, dynamic stiffness, and damping ratio.
Applications
Suitable for various applications, including basketball courts, where they manage noise and vibration while maintaining athletic performance.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
FEA is used in designing floating floors to prevent cracking and ensure proper material usage under high load areas.
Conclusion
GenieMat® FF systems provide a versatile and effective solution for sound and vibration isolation in construction, with easy installation and high performance.
Specifications
Configurations include combinations of vinyl, screed, cement board, and concrete slabs with heavy timber floors and CLT. Examples include:
  • GenieMat FF42 with Vinyl, GenieMat RST05, 50 mm Screed, and 25 mm Cement Board on a Heavy Timber Floor.
  • GenieMat FF25 with 100 mm Concrete Slab and 175 mm CLT.
Test Results
Sound insulation performance is indicated by STC and IIC ratings such as 54/59, 53/58, 57/60, 56/58, and 59/56.
Recommendations and Limitations
Information is accurate to the best of the company's knowledge, but changes may be needed to meet local building codes. Responsibility is not accepted for products not used or installed according to specifications.
