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.
