Raised Access Flooring : A detailed Information (2022)

Raised Access Flooring : A detailed Information (2022)

An enterprise must secure a flexible, adaptive cable management system in today's connected society, which necessitates a plethora of power, voice, and data equipment (which comes with a plethora of wires, cables, and connection points). In fact, it's critical if you want a workspace that's adaptable enough to accommodate moves, additions, and changes.

If you want to move to a new office, stay where you are but need renovations, or simply want the option to reconfigure your workplace whenever you want, a raised access floor cable distribution system will provide you with the ideal opportunity to set-up your work space as needed in the most efficient ways.

When planning your new office layout, don't overlook the importance of flooring systems. This is often overlooked.

For cable management, consider low-profile raised access flooring. It can completely transform your workspace and provide more functionality than you could ever imagine from a floor.

 

What is Raised Access Flooring?

A raised floor is an elevated structural floor above a solid substrate that creates a hidden void for mechanical and electrical services to pass through."

This type of floor, also known as raised access flooring, access floor(ing), or raised access computer floor(ing), is a construction model in which a slightly higher floor is built above the original concrete slab floor of the building, leaving an open space between the two floors for wiring, power, or cooling infrastructure.

Cable management and air distribution are two things that every business must plan for. What are your requirements? What are your objectives?

Why Consider Raised Access Flooring?

Raised access flooring comes in a variety of styles and solutions. A new data management centre, for example, may require a resolution with the maximum amount of space between the floors for cables, power, and airflow equipment, whereas an emergency operations centre or courtroom may require a lower profile floor simply to meet its wire management requirements.

Whatever your requirements, raised access flooring has the following advantages:

Moveable and customizable: Because some raised access flooring is available in modular sections, you can add or remove flooring as needed. If you expand into a larger work space, you may be able to keep your current flooring and only need to purchase the additional sections your larger space requires. Adding square footage to an existing office is obviously less expensive than changing your entire floor plan. Furthermore, the changes can be implemented quickly, increasing the cost-effectiveness.

Increases workplace safety: Workplace safety is always a top priority. Raised access flooring hides these unsightly cables beneath the floor and out of sight, eliminating tripping hazards and the need to work on a ladder to reach wires in the ceiling.

Provides a cleaner, more professional appearance to your office: 

Cables running along the floor, up posts, or hanging from the ceiling are an eyesore. Your employees will struggle to work efficiently in a cluttered, disorganised work environment. A sloppy office will also not impress visiting clients. Raised access flooring conceals cables and promotes a clean, professional appearance to anyone who enters the office.

Allows you to grow: It appears that new technologies are introduced on a daily basis. Because of the need to keep up with these innovations as well as business growth, you'll most likely require more networking cables at some point. 

A high-quality raised access flooring cable management system will provide a well-designed solution that has been carefully planned and configured, so you don't end up with a jumbled mess under the floor.

Cost-effective:  Raised access floor systems are not attached to the floor. As a result, if you decide to relocate, you can take the flooring with you. Furthermore, because non-attached flooring is considered office equipment, the system can be depreciated on your tax returns.

What Types of Raised Access Flooring is Available?

Floor with Traditional/Standard Access (Post and Panel Raised Floor)

Any raised floor that is taller than 6 inches, but usually taller than 12 inches (can reach 6 feet or higher). When this product was first introduced fifty years ago, the primary purpose of this type of flooring was to support the cooling and airflow requirements of large computer mainframes that ran extremely hot. The cabling between the two floors was an afterthought.

Low Profile Access Floor (Cable Management Floor)

Any Raised Access Floor Panel that is less than 6 inches in height is suitable for cable management. Where air flow is not an issue, these floors allow for under-floor cable distribution management (which is true of most workplaces these days). There are low-profile options with 1.6-inch or 2.75-inch profiles that can outfit any space or even entire buildings.

The following are the characteristics of traditional raised access flooring:

Tough and heavy duty

Designed primarily for air flow and cooling (not so much for cable management)

Access panels typically weigh 35 pounds or more and must be lifted with a suction-like tool.

Lower profile raised access floors are less flexible and easier to use.

Because of the height above ground, there may be safety concerns.

Contractors or highly trained internal personnel must service and maintain them.

Low-profile raised access flooring, on the other hand:

The system's components are light (but still meet strength requirements)

It requires less ceiling height.

Is simple for onsite personnel to maintain—and in some cases, no tools are required

Is it secure

If you need to run a large chilled water line or forced air under your floor, you will almost certainly require traditional raised access flooring. A low-profile raised access floor, on the other hand, is ideal for providing space and flexibility for electrical data and cables in an office or retail space.
