ENCAPSULATED WOODCORE RAISED ACCESS FLOORING

System performance criteria are the most important to consider because they represent the performance in a typical installation. Panel only criteria such as concentrated load is often used to specify floor systems however, the test is not representative of an actual installation because it is performed with the panel testing blocks, not actual understructure.

*A tests are performed using CISCA’s Recommend Test Procedures for Access Floors with the exception of Design Load

The finished access floor wil be rigid, free from vibration and rocking panels within a 3mm level over the entire space. Panels will be accurately cut to fit around all permanent features. All whole panels will be completely interchangeable allowing for any future changes. The access foor will maintain these origina conditions when sufficient panels have been removed for normal underfloor access.

● Durability and Stability: The encapsulation of the wood core with protective materials such as galvanized steel or aluminum enhances the floor’s durability and stability. This makes the flooring capable of supporting heavy equipment and high foot traffic.
● Resistance to Wear and Tear: The protective encapsulation provides a high degree of resistance to wear, tear, and impacts, ensuring the longevity of the flooring system.
● Moisture Resistance: The encapsulating material prevents moisture from penetrating the wood core, protecting the floor from potential damage due to moisture or spills.
● Easy Access to Utilities: The raised design of the flooring provides a convenient underfloor space for housing utilities such as electrical wiring, data cables, and HVAC systems. This makes maintenance, upgrades, and changes to these systems easier.
● Aesthetic Appeal: Encapsulated woodcore raised access floors can be finished with a variety of coverings to match the aesthetic of the space, offering both functionality and visual appeal.
● Sound Damping: The composition of these floors can help to dampen sound, contributing to a quieter environment.
● Flexibility: Despite their durability and strength, these floors offer flexibility. The modular nature of the panels allows for reconfiguration as needed, making the floor system adaptable to changing needs.
