SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
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
1. Design load is tested using CISCA Concentrated Load test method on actual understructure instead of steel blocks. Design load is determined by taking the lesser value of ultimate load divided by two or the point at which permanent damage begins to occur (yield point).
2. Safety factor is the multiple of Design load to the Ultimate Load. International standards and Dawn Modular Floor recommend’ a minium of 2.

INSTALLATION
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.
ADVANTAGES
● Anti-static properties: The flooring’s anti-static feature prevents the buildup of static electricity, which can damage sensitive electronic components and cause data loss. This ensures the protection of valuable equipment and maintains the smooth operation of the data center.
● Easy access to utilities: The raised design provides convenient access to underfloor utilities, such as cabling, air distribution, and other services. This enables efficient infrastructure management, quick maintenance, and the ability to adapt to changes in technology.
● Load-bearing capacity: Calcium sulfate raised access flooring offers excellent load-bearing capabilities, making it suitable for supporting heavy equipment and server racks commonly found in data centers.
● Fire resistance: The use of calcium sulfate as the core material enhances the flooring’s fire resistance, contributing to a safer working environment and the protection of essential equipment.
