RAISED FLOOR SYSTEM

Raised Floor System is also known as access flooring or falls flooring system, referred to the floor
constructed above the building’s original concrete slab floor, leveling the open space created
between the two for wiring or cooling infrastructure.

STRINGERLESS SYSTEM TYPICAL RAISED FLOOR CONDITIONS
This system is used in general construction or small computer
rooms. It provides maximum accessibility, optimum underfloor
space, and electrical continuity. Note that it is dependent on panels
being restrained by perimeter walls. Maximum load:150 psf.
Concentrated load: 400 lb.

PANEL LOCK SYSTEM


This system is used in general construction and is designed without
a stringer connection at the edge. Bolted at the corner, it provides
added rigidity over stingless systems and maximum access and
flexibility.
SUBSTRUCTURE
PEDESTALS
Raised floor pedestals are affixed to the subfloor through either
mechanical fixings or adhesives. Since the pedestals are adjustable, the
gap between the elevated floor and the subfloor can be between 3 and 48
inches. To ensure that the panel is fixed and supported stably, the
pedestals must also contain the following parts:

SNAP-ON-GRID SYSTEM
This system is used in computer rooms and in general construction
where frequent access is required. It provides improved lateral
stability when compared to stringless systems, electrical continuity,
and plenum seal.

Wood Core System Stringer System Pedestal Corner Lock


System
STRINGER
It provides the horizontal connection between the columns in order to
obtain the required modularity, improving the stability and the distribution
of loads on the structure.

RIGID GRID SYSTEM


This system is used in computer rooms and areas of heavy loading.
It provides maximum rigidity for seismic or dynamic loading,
electrical continuity for grounding or static control, and plenum
seal. Maximum load:400 psf. Concentrated load: 1250 lb.

BENEFITS OF RAISED FLOOR SYSTEMS


 No wires are seen in the room which increases the aesthetics quality
 Wiring, air-conditioning equipment installation and repairing service
costs are reduced.
 Highest heavy-load capacity systems that allow equipment to rest on
without the need of benches or any other supporting tool.
