How to Choose Raised Access Flooring for Server Halls

Raised access flooring is the foundation of modern server halls and many commercial offices. Getting the specification wrong leads to rework, level tolerance failures and cable management headaches.

Panel types

  • Steel cementitious — heavy-duty, ideal for data centers with high rolling loads.
  • Calcium sulphate — excellent fire performance and acoustic properties.
  • Wood-core — lighter, common in office environments with moderate load requirements.

Load ratings

Match the panel rating to your equipment layout. Concentrated loads from rack legs often exceed uniform load assumptions — always check point-load specifications with your flooring supplier.
