US 2026/0062935 A1 · A VOID MAT FOR STOPPING GAPS AROUND FLOOR PENETRATIONS

Abstract

A specialised void mat is designed to effectively seal gaps around service penetrations within floors. The mat consists of two main components: a sleeve and a base that interfaces with the sleeve. The base is generally planar and features a central aperture to connect with the sleeve's edges. The sleeve extends from one side of the base and can be made by stitching together separate material sheets. The mat is designed to address gaps around penetrations, like pipes or conduits, on construction sites. The mat's functionality involves a side closure to accommodate the penetration into the sleeve and a distal closure to securely enclose the penetration. To use the mat, the side closure is opened, the penetration is inserted sideways into the sleeve, and then the side closure is closed. Subsequently, the distal closure is also closed around the penetration, sealing the gap effectively.
