Matox Installation Guide:
Step 1: Site Preparation Tips
Ideally, concrete thickness should be 50mm or greater
Repair any damaged concrete
Start with a washed down, clean concrete surface
When laying mats, make note of water flow direction during flood wash and hose down
Step 2: Tool Selection Tips
For screw bit, use a torx head T20 (6 point star shaped pattern)
Use high powered drill suitable for drilling and screwing into concrete
Concrete drill bit with four cutting tips. 10mm diameter x minimum working depth of 125mm
For shaping / cutting rubber, a Bosch soft material cutting blade T313AW/HCS is recommended. Alternatively, use a medium teeth hand saw
Step 3: Laying The Mat
Ideally, lay mats in brick formation making note of water flow indicator arrows
Fix top edge of the mats initially. Allow to acclimatise in layed position for 24 hours before fixing remaining mats
Ideally, fix mats during the warmest part of the day
When boring and screwing mats down, work down from the top of the pattern
Do not fix outside mats first or random mats down the pattern
To uninstall mats, simply reverse the drill
