The raised floor is a suspended floor system, the walkable part of which does not rest directly on the ground, but on a raised structure. Between the bottom and the floor is created a technical void to accommodate equipment. The modules that make up the floor are placed on the bottom so that they can be very easily moved to access the technical void.
This raised floor system has the following advantages:
Flexible management of equipment housed under the floor.
The convenience of maintenance operations thanks to easy access to equipment.
Possibility of reuse. Dry installation without mastic glue allows each floor panel to be moved or the entire room to be reconfigured elsewhere.
Adaptability: the raised floor can also be laid over an existing floor covering.
Elements:
The elements that make up the raised floor are the floor panel and the support structure.
The raised floor tiles result from the bonding of a support core of 3 to 4 cm with a porcelain stoneware slab, which constitutes the trampling surface responsible for the aesthetics of the floor as well as for its excellent cleanability, inalterability, and resistance properties. long-term resistance.
The structure, for its part, consists of crossbars attached to zinc-plated steel supports.
The equipment connections to the premises are made through openings such as floor turrets or diffusers with grilles for air circulation.Deepening:
The finishing coating is in porcelain stoneware, offered without limits as to finishes or surfaces, depending on the different aesthetic and design requirements.
The porcelain stoneware is assembled to the structural core, the associated material of which is rectified and machined to obtain a slight flaring to facilitate the installation and handling of the floor covering.
The support core is available either in a chipboard or in inert materials based on calcium sulfate.
The chipboard support makes it possible to obtain a finished panel with a thickness of 48 mm, which can be subjected to average use loads and is distinguished by its economical appearance. Good mechanical resistance and in contact with fire.
The calcium sulphate support provides a finished panel with a thickness of 40 mm. It guarantees better resistance to humidity and contact with fire. It combines high mechanical resistance with excellent sound insulation properties.
The support structure resting on the floor is a steel frame supported by circular elements ranging from 3 or 4 cm high to one meter, and connecting crossbars, also in galvanized steel. The head of these elements and the cross members are lined with anti-static rubber to absorb vibrations and noise.
