Detailed Product Description

(raised access floor ,access floor ,raised floor)

Itis a type of floor used in office buildings (such as IT data centers) with a high requirement for servicing to carry cables, wiring, electrical supply, and sometimes air conditioning or chilled water pipes. Additional structural support and lighting are often provided when a floor is raised enough for a person to crawl or even walk beneath.

This type of floor consists of a gridded metal framework or understructure of adjustable-height legs (called pedestals) that provide support for individual floor panels, which are usually 2×2 feet or 60*60cm in size. The height of the legs/pedestals is dictated by the volume of cables and other services provided beneath, but typically arranged for a clearance of at least six inches or 15cm.

The panels are normally made of steel-clad particleboard or a steel panel with a cementitious internal core. There are a variety of flooring finishes to suit the application such as carpets, high-pressure laminates, marble, stone, and antistatic finishes for use in computer rooms and laboratories.

Many modern computer and equipment rooms employ an underfloor cooling system to ensure even cooling of the room with minimal wasted energy. Cooled air is pumped under the floor and dispersed upward into the room through regularly spaced diffuser tiles or through ducts directed into specific equipment. Automatic fire protection shutoffs may be required for under-floor ventilation, and additional suppression systems may be installed in case of under-floor fires.

 

 

Suitable for electronic purification workshops, this flooring uses PVC panels in
order to prevent the floor from cracking and maintain high performance.

 

 

*          Construction programmes are reduced by at least two weeks per floor due to elimination of a sand cement screed.

*          As warm air rises, considerable cost savings are achieved by an underfloor air plenum delivering conditioned air exactly where it is needed - compared with the traditional uneconomic alternative of forcing conditioned air from the ceiling.

*          Maximum flexibility for the installation and reconfiguring of services to equipment and workstations a matter of hours.

*          In new construction the use of an access floor for total service distribution reduces the overall building height by about 13%. Or, for the same height, you can increase the number of floors.
