The Company
TOPFLOOR group is an European leader in the field of

raised access floor production.
The company was founded by a group of technicians
in 1986. It grew up in time and now it has two highly
automated production lines, one specialized in standard
panels and the other in encapsulated panels: with
more than thirty years of experience TOPFLOOR group
is able to offer the most wide and innovative range
of raised systems on the market. During these years
the company produced more than five millions square
meters of raised floor and exported in 25 nations.
The research on different typology of products and
special finishes generated a new concept of raised floor
finally suitable even for those environment traditionally
not considering the use of this system. Innovative
productions lines, Italian design, together with a careful
pre and post selling service guarantee high quality and
total reliability.
All the TOPFLOOR products are made in Italy as the

manufacturing plants are in Carsoli (AQ), 50 km far from
Rome.

Raised Access Floors
Flexible Space
Modern office environment requires flexibility and
accessibility. Raised access flooring is used to meet
these requirements by creating a plenum space where
high concentrations of power/data cabling and other
mechanical services can be concealed under the
walking surface. These subfloor services remain easily
accessible due to the modular design of the raised
access floor system, thus providing flexibility for quick
and easy layout changes, installation of new equipment
or repair and maintenance.
Product
Applications
The evolution in the raised floor industry has widened
the application range from the original computer areas
to bank counters, expo stands, shopping centres, hotel
halls, pubs, hospitals, surgeries, industrial production
sites, data processing centres, clean rooms, recording
studios, casinos, dance floors stages, bowling alleys,
museums and in the restoration of historical sites.
Nowadays, raised floors can be also used in modern
houses where domestic innovations need a continuous
evolution of layout.

Environmental respect and leedtm certification
Green Design
Green design has a strong positive impact on public health and environment,
reducing at the same time operating costs, enhancing building and organizational
marketability, potentially increasing occupant productivity and helping to create a
sustainable community. Through an Eco-Design approach it is possible to integrate
and control environmental aspects directly at the design stage, considering the
whole life-cycle of construction sites, from the purchasing of raw materials to the
production and final disposal of materials.
What is LEEDTM
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a rating systems developed
by USGBC to evaluate the impact of buildings on people’s lives and on the health of the
planet. Since 1999 the LEED Green Building Rating System for New Construction has Topfloor produce with chipboard
been helping professionals to improve the quality of buildings and their impact on the (E1) and calcium sulphate from
environment. recycled papers and inerts
LEED promotes a whole building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance
in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency,
materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
LEED system is voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven, based on accepted energy and environmental principles,
striking a balance between established practices and emerging concepts.
TOPFLOOR and LEEDTM

TOPFLOOR raised access floor is one of the most innovative products that can help to improve environmental capability
of buildings, according to the characteristics of all its components, the sources of materials and the certifications of its
suppliers.
The TOPFLOOR system creates an high performance and sustainable indoor environment that help to satisfy a variety
of requirements as for maintaining highquality clean air, improving personal comfort control, attenuating noise,
responding to organizational and technological changes quickly and easily, reducing material and energy usage and
supporting the overall aesthetic value of the facility.
TOPFLOOR access floor system can contribute to the achievement of numerous credits for LEED-NC certification,
helping to achieve prerequisites and accumulating points in the following areas:
- Energy & Atmosphere
- Materials & Resources
- Indoor Environmental Quality
- Innovation in Design
In particular, TOPFLOOR panels are the best in class for their ecologic profile, according to their high loading
performances and low weight and energy consumption during their whole life-cycle.

European standard EN 12825
This European Standard, approved by CEN, got the status of a National Standard so that within 5 years from its approval
any project in CEE would have to comply with it. From February 2007, this standard is the only one that governs the
characteristics and performance requirements of raised access floors for internal finish of buildings, allowing full access
to the services in the plenum.
It is applicable to modular, factory made flooring elements, comprising panels and pedestals, and defines their methods
of testing and measurements.
The ultimate load is the main criterion of classification. This is the value measured at the failure of the component during
a specific ultimate load test with a point load of 25mm x 25mm.
The elements subjected to the procedure have to meet the following criteria:
– before the element collapses, it has to withstand the relevant ultimate load for its class, given in table 1.
– when the load applied is equivalent to the working load, which is the ultimate load divided by a safety factor, the
deflection has not to exceed the value of table 2.
TOPFLOOR usually applies Safety Factor 2 and 2,5 mm of deflection. Any technical specifications is in accordance to
these values.

The Structures
The types of substructure vary mainly depending on the height of the finished floors and the requested performance load.
The substructure TF3/SA (pedestals only) can be used for floor heights up to 400 mm with all the panels series.
In case of heights over 400 mm it is always advisable to use stringers.
It’s possible to choose between the substructure type TF3/ST1 - TF3/ST2 - TF3/STH - TF2/50S to match the right need.

Corner Lock System
GW series are also available with a “Corner Lock”

option, a system which allows the fastening of
each panel to the pedestals heads by means of
self-tapping screws.
The system offers:

- maximum rigidity and stability even at the
highest finished floor, without additional
stringers.
- protection from unauthorized access to the
underfloor area.
- maintenance of structural properties even in
case of special servicing or alterations of the
fixtures and fittings in the underfloor area.
The drilling on the 4 corners is made by CNC

machines assuring the best possible calibration
and interchangeability of every single element.

Wood essence floorings, with an high aesthetic value, are suitable for representation office, both for office and
commercial centers; particular attention is required during storage, installation and use, due to the sensibility of the
wood to temperature and humidity variations. Natural wood is also sensible to change of color (oxidation) depending on
the exposure to the light. It is important that, after the installation, the relative humidity range is between 40% and 60%
as, outside these values, wood structure can present deformations.

Installation
SIDE CUT-OUTS AND LAST INSTALLATIONS

STEPS
It is suggested not to have short portions of panels
in contact with the perimeter of the room. If in the
modular partition there are two different portions
of panels at the limits (i.e. one of 55 cm and one of
15 cm), it is better to sum up the two measures
and after divide it in two equal parts (55 + 15 = 70
cm, 70 / 2 = 35 cm).
In the final stage, steps, flights, vertical closing
and other accessories are installed. Once the floor
is completed, it is always suggested to protect
it with cardboard or polyethylene foils until the
setting up of the room is completed.
INSTALLATION TIME
The time needed to install TOPFLOOR raised
access floor depends on the dimensions, the shape,
and the accessibility of the rooms, the type of the
panels and their coverings and the substructure.
A team of two people can install from about 30 m2
of floor a day, in small surface rooms, to more than
90 m2 a day in medium or big surface rooms as
trimming and posing perimeter panels takes a lot
of time and accuracy.
