Description

Raised Floor is an Elevated Floor above the Existing Concrete Floor to create a passage for Electrical and Mechanical services.It is widely used in Data Centres,IT Parks,Offices etc.The Height of Floor Vary from 6 inches to 4 feet. The Panels are either Concrete Filled Steel Panels or Hollow Welded Steel Panels. Raised access floors offer building owners an underfloor alternative for delivering vital building services, including wiring, cabling, and HVAC. This setup brings many benefits including improved flexibility, occupant comfort, and cost savings.The floor panels are readily removable to allow quick access to the underfloor services. Raised access floor comprises of load bearing floor panels laid in a horizontal grid supported by adjustable vertical pedestals to provide an underfloor space for the housing and distribution of services. The provide the following benefits: Lower installation costs Improved flexibility for installing, replacing and relocating essential building services such as wiring and plumbing Greater design flexibility Faster service changes The underfloor void can often be used as a large duct for HVAC systems Accelerated tax depreciation opportunities Increased daylighting opportunities due to increased ceiling heights Improved aesthetics The key components of a raised access flooring system are: 1. Floor panel: This is the horizontal load bearing component of a raised floor. It is normally 24"x 24" square (industry standard module size) but can be 24" metric square.These floor panels are supplied either as bare finish to accept a carpet tile finish on site or, with a factory bonded finish. 2. Pedestal: This is the complete vertical, adjustable supporting structure to the raised floor panels. The pedestals are normally bonded to the sub floor using an epoxy resin based adhesive with mechanical fixings also provided if required. The pedestal assembly provides vertical adjustment of 1½" to allow the raised floor to be installed flat and level despite undulations in the sub floor. The pedestal head provides panel location and also when required a means of fixing the panel to the pedestal head. 3. Stringer: This is a horizontal component that connects pedestals together. It connects to the pedestal head and is used to provide additional lateral support at greater floor height and/or increase the structural performance of the raised floor system. If you are looking to responding to organizational and technological changes quickly and easily, improving personal comfort control, attenuating noise, and supporting the overall aesthetic value of the building – all while being cost- effective in both construction and operation, we recommend you consider raised access flooring systems.
