Prior™ & Forma™ : Modular matting system versus rigid profiles
Issues Rigid profiles Prior™ & Forma™
Wrong measurement Cannot be installed if too big –
gap left if too small
Job always finished !
(Tile calculator)
Uneven sub-floor Need to screed up and get it
perfect = extra cost
Product flexibility is forgiving
uneven floor
Lifetime / refurbishment All matting or at least full
sections need replacing
Only worn areas / tiles need
replacing = cost saving
Leadtime to enduser Min. 2 weeks – normally 3 to 4
weeks (taylor made)
Next day delivery from stock
Fitting charge Hard to justify for contractor Contractor can charge for fitting
= incentive to him
Perception of « plastic » vs. rigid
material
High Q. raw material engineered
for high traffic – 5 Y. guarantee
Functionality Majority of rigid profiles offer
poor textile performance
High performance textile
designed for purpose
Fire rating Yes for most products – but often
with a price surcharge.
Certified Cfl S2
Price High end product Always cheaper than alu. prof.

Tips about combining
Prior™ and Forma™ tiles
• Performance :
Prior™ works great as primary barrier for solid particles – followed by
Forma™ for absorbtion ,
If mat well is too small – propose 11mm thickness surface mounted
after the mat well – and/or a rental mat / or Atrium Plus™.
• Installation :
Prior™ tiles are easier to cut than Forma™ tiles.
• Aesthetics :
Edging Forma™ with Prior™ creates a frame around the installation
• Price :
Using Prior™ tiles helps reducing total price of the installation – or
increase margin !

In case of an installation with Prior™16 or Forma™16 tiles in open construction
it is recommended to section the installation in areas of about 1 m²
in order to facilitate handling of the mat during maintenance

In case of circular or semi-circular shaped installation
Forma™ tiles can be cut through the textile inserts.
This does not alter product performance.

Prior™ and Forma™ tiles can be surface mounted
on the existing floors
