Applications
Purpose
Access floors through their infinite flexibility
provide the key element required for today's
intelligent buildings and equipment rooms.
The simplistic concept of access floors can
readily accommodate future changes
whether they are organisational,
technological or climatic in origin.
General office
A medium duty application requiring
a system capable of withstanding both
static and dynamic loadings. Stability
and acoustics are important.
Dealing rooms
A heavy duty application requiring a system
capable of withstanding both static and
dynamic loadings. Stability and quick
access important.
Call centres
Very similar criteria to either a General
Office or Dealing Room depending on
population density.
Casinos
A heavy duty application similar to
a dealing room. Stability and acoustics
are very important.
Computer rooms
A heavy duty static loading application
with only light dynamic loadings.
Functional hard clean surface and
quick access important.
Foyers and boardrooms
A highly aesthetic and architecturally
designed medium and heavy grade premium
panels. They are available in a wide range of
finishes including reconstituted stone, wood,
plastic laminates, PVC, linoleum, rubber,
marble, granite and stainless steel to suit
most decors and designs.
Laboratories, microelectronic
facilities
Where a non-magnetic and non-corrosive
work platform is required in medium or
heavy grade panels. The system combines
die cast aluminum panels with wide range
of anti-static finishes and stainless steel or
aluminum understructure.
Information processing
A heavy duty static and dynamic loading
application. Functional, hard clean surface
and quick access important.
Telephone exchanges and
switching centres
A heavy duty static and dynamic loading
application. Functional hard clean surface
and quick access important. Some special
features often required.
Other applications
Brokerage Trading rooms.
Pumping Stations.
Control Rooms.
Laboratories.
Hospitals.
Light Manufacturing.
Criteria for all applications
For all the above applications the systems
should incorporate a safety factor of three
times the design load. The materials should
be resistant to water, humidity, fire and
impact from sharp objects.
Benefits
For the Developer
Reduces risk of premature
building obsolescence.
Reduces design time – services
reticulation can be deferred.
Accelerates construction cycle.
Helps keep tenants for long term.
Overcomes many problems with
renovations of existing buildings.
Maximises lettable area.
For the Tenant
Reduces initial fitout costs.
Reduces costs of churn (rate of change
over time) for life of occupancy.
Maximises flexibility of layout.
Provides infinite capacity for
services growth.
For the Owner Occupier
Generally all the combined benefits
noted above are obtained by the
Owner Occupier.
Using Underfloor
Air Distribution
Greater benefits will be generated for
all parties if underfloor air distribution
is provided in conjunction with a Tasman
Access Floor system.
Green and sustainable office buildings,
combining Underfloor Air Distribution,
assist in delivering reduced energy costs,
improved indoor air quality and
enhanced personal comfort.

 Testing criteria
Static performance – tests
Access Floors in all applications will be
subject to various forms of static/live loads.
They are rated in accordance with their
ability to accept static loads without
deflecting beyond a nominated value.
1. Concentrated loads
These loads are the most common and
most extreme because they are transmitted
through the feet of stationary furniture, office
and computer equipment, workstations,
demountable partitions, etc. Because these
loads are applied through specific fixed
points of small size they are the extreme
basis used for design rating of access floors.
In the absence of high dynamic loads,
concentrated load becomes the most
significant design criterion.
2. Ultimate load
In the real world, design load can easily
be exceeded especially by careless
operators during cycles of churn. Specifying
an adequate ultimate load of no less that
3 times concentrated design load will
ensure that accidental overload does not
result in dangerous floor collapse.
3. Uniform load
This is an outdated basis for determining the
performance of an access floor. An access
floor designed with concentrated loads and
appropriate ultimate loads as the critical
factors, better reflects reality. Such a floor
will comfortably accommodate large
uniform loads.
PAGE 4
Dynamic performance –
simulation tests
An access floor is subjected to various
dynamic loadings over its lifetime.
Thus a range of tests have been
developed to simulate these loadings
and ascertain if an access floor will
functionally survive for this period.
The dynamic performance capability of
an access floor is defined as its certified
capacity to accept a range of rolling loads,
accidental impact loads and foot traffic
without failure or loss of utility.
Rolling loads
There are three definable types of rolling
load which an access floor needs to handle
without protection.
1. Infrequent random path
These are created by infrequent loads
rolled across a floor on small, hard wheels
generally during construction, fitout, move-in,
workstation arrangements or relocation of
computer and other equipment.
2. Frequent random path
These are created by the movement
of manual trolleys, paper dollies and
supply carts used daily to deliver computer
paper, office supplies or other items too
heavy or bulky to carry. These rolling loads
mainly take place down corridors and
through aisleways.
3. Frequent fixed path
This class of rolling load is typically used to
simulate foot traffic loads in high frequency
areas such as lift lobbies, entrance halls and
corridors or prime aisleways.
Impact loads
These are typically accidental in nature
and generate extremely severe shocks
which can cause some access floors to fail
catastrophically. Impact loads most often
occur during the construction cycle, initial
fitout, move-in and during equipment and
furniture re-arrangement.
Other performance criteria 3. Acoustics Tasman Access Floor systems have

‘Premium’ range of access floor finishes

Tasman Access Floors continues to

improve their product offering to the
Australian market with the introduction
of Tasman’s ‘Premium’ range of access
floor finishes.
In the past, traditional methods of placing stone, timber or
ceramic finishes over access floors required a solid membrane
of CFC sheet to be perminately fixed over base building
access floors. This solid membrane eliminates access to the
sub floor and services.
Tasman’s ‘Premium’ range of access floor finishes allows you
to add style and maintain the full functionality and benefits of
an access floor with your selected stone and timber finishes
manufactured onto a modular 600mm x 600mm panel.
We have a highly aesthetic and architecturally designed range
of products with finishes including reconstituted stone, wood,
plastic laminate, rubber, pvc, linoleum, parquet, marble and
granite, ceramic granite and stainless steel.

Tasman OnGrid® 60cm Modular Carpet Tile System

The Tasman OnGrid® 60cm Modular

Carpet Tile System produces a
synchronised fit between carpet tile
and access floor panel.
The carpet tiles are accurately cut (600mm x 600mm) to
exactly match the access floor grid. Using the Tasman
OnGrid® System reduces time, waste and hassle for normal
underfloor access and subsequent churn and is ideal for use
with underfloor air conditioning systems with easy access to
underfloor services and allows panels to be relocated with air
service outlets attached to them.
The Tasman OnGrid® System secures the carpet tile to the
panel to create a very stable surface. The OnGrid® system is
designed specifically for use with 'bare' surface finish Tascor®
Access Floor Systems.
Carpet tile waste is eliminated when service outlets within
access floor panels are relocated because each OnGrid®
Carpet Tile can follow the panel to its new location.
There is a massive range of colours and patterns available in
carpet tiles, or develop your own design to fit your interior
colour scheme. The options are endless and are available
from Australia’s two leading modular carpet tile
manufacturer’s Ontera and Interface.

Benefits
Retained flexibility of an access floor with a carpet finish.
Compatible with Underfloor Air Distribution Systems.
Carpet tiles are securely attached to the access floor
panels so they will not move during normal use, but can
be detached easily if required.
Moving the carpet tile and panel combination is easy for
re-locating power/data outlets, air diffusers which are
installed in the panels.
Extensive range of carpet finished available from leading
modular carpet tile manufacturers, Ontera and Interface.

The access floor plenum is simply filled with fresh or conditioned air at a slight
positive pressure, which is delivered into the occupied space through swirl diffusers or
fan air terminals. The air is delivered into the office space in a controlled manner to

To enhance the effectiveness of the underfloor air distribution Tasman has locally
designed an underfloor plenum divider system for breaking underfloor areas into
different zones. This allows greater flexibility when cooling internal or perimeter zones.

 How to specify
Performance Needs
Access Floors are often seen through simplistic eyes when the actual use is stunningly rigorous and variable. Access Floors mostly form part
of the building fabric and as such need to match the design and/or economic life of the building. This requires a thoughtful and detailed
approach to specify the needs.
Set out below is a series of short specifications nominating Tasman Access Floor systems, under the grading system used by the Australian
Standard AS 4154 – 1993 and UK PSA PF 2 Specification. These specifications are matched to most common applications. If your
application is less common, call Tasman for advice.

appropriate air flow in such high heat
load areas.

5. Perforated panels
As an alternative to Air Grilles Tasman can
provide structurally rated perforated panels
with an anti-static high pressure laminate
surface. These perforated panels can be
provided with or without sliding damper.
6. Ramps, steps, fascias
and nosing
As part of the installation process Tasman
are able to provide high quality, long life
ramps, steps, fascias and nosing. These
items are robustly constructed and made on
site to match exactly the access floor and
the concrete slab transition. Ramps and
steps are usually finished with studded
rubber and thresholds (including step
thresholds) are finished with an aluminum
nosing and a rubberised insert. Thresholds
to fascias are also finished in the same
nosing and insert system. This ensures that
when you purchase a Tasman Access Floor
you get a complete and finished job.
