Access Floor Systems:
Concrete Raised Floor Systems:
Concrete raised floor systems have been a popular choice for access flooring in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Concrete-filled steel floor access panels offer durability, stability, and a range of load ratings. They create space for wire management and underfloor air distribution in environments with electronic equipment. These panels combine a formed steel shell with lightweight cementitious fill to provide strength and rigidity. Available systems include panels with published load ratings up to 2,500 pounds, depending on the product and test method. Review the selected manufacturer's specifications, including CISCA test data and applicable fire classifications, to confirm suitability for your installation.
Hollow Steel Access Flooring Systems:
Hollow steel, or all-steel, access flooring systems provide a lightweight panel option for commercial applications. Formed steel panels offer strength, rigidity, and convenient access to the space beneath the floor for cables, electrical services, and other building systems. Available products include panels with published 1,250-pound load ratings and 5,000-pound ultimate load ratings; specifications vary by model. Certain hollow steel systems use the same under-structure as compatible cementitious raised flooring systems. We can help you confirm panel compatibility, support requirements, and load ratings when selecting components for your kit.
Calcium Sulphate Raised Floor Systems:
Calcium sulphate raised floor panels feature a dense core, with available designs incorporating ABS edge protection and a galvanized steel bottom. These systems offer rigidity, acoustic performance, and a range of load ratings for data centers, server rooms, offices, and control rooms. Depending on the product, recycled content and recyclable materials may support project sustainability goals. Available systems include panels with published ultimate load ratings of 3,400 pounds. Fire classification, moisture resistance, static-control properties, and load performance depend on the selected panel and finish. We can help you review these specifications for your application.
Wood Core Raised Flooring:
Wood core raised flooring systems have been used for more than 50 years and remain an option for offices and other suitable commercial applications. These panels feature a composite wood core enclosed or supported by formed steel, depending on the design. Available products offer a range of load ratings, including published ratings from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds and ultimate load ratings from 2,400 to 4,000 pounds. Wood core systems can provide acoustic benefits, convenient underfloor access, and a selection of surface finishes. Confirm the manufacturer's fire classification, rolling load capacity, and other performance specifications when selecting a system for your project.
Aluminum Data Center Flooring Systems:
Aluminum raised floor systems are used in clean rooms, laboratories, microelectronics facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other controlled environments. Lightweight, non-magnetic panel options can also be suitable for certain medical and equipment spaces, subject to facility requirements. Removable panels provide access for maintenance and changes to underfloor services. Available systems include 24-inch by 24-inch panels with published ultimate load ratings of 4,000 pounds and rolling load ratings of 1,000 pounds under specified test conditions. Panel construction, finish, cleanliness classification, and load performance should be reviewed for the intended application.
Perforated Raised Floor Tiles:
Perforated raised floor tiles and air grates distribute air from the underfloor space into the room above. They are commonly used in data centers and other spaces designed for underfloor air delivery. Pro Access Floors offers standard perforated panels with approximately 22% to 35% open area and high-output air grates with approximately 55% to 66% open area. Open-area percentage and actual airflow performance vary by product and operating conditions. Options include adjustable dampers for airflow control. We also offer Universal High Output Air Grates, which use adjustable corner leveling legs to accommodate many wood core, steel, and concrete raised floor systems. Confirm compatibility with your existing or proposed floor before ordering.
Raised Floor Under-Structure:
Raised Floor Bolted Stringer System:
Bolted stringer under-structure connects the raised floor pedestals with horizontal stringers to support the panels and improve system stability. It is commonly selected for data centers, server rooms, industrial spaces, and applications with demanding load requirements. The connected framework provides lateral support and can help accommodate rolling loads when designed and installed to the selected system's specifications. Adjustable pedestals allow the finished floor height to suit the project layout and underfloor service requirements. Galvanized steel components provide a durable support structure. Seismic performance, anchoring, bracing, and load capacity depend on the complete system design and installation requirements.
Access Flooring Stringerless Corner Lock:
Stringerless corner-lock systems secure compatible raised floor panels directly to the pedestal heads without horizontal stringers. This design is a popular option for suitable office and casino applications, particularly where lower finished floor heights are required. Removable panels provide access to underfloor cables and services, allowing maintenance and future changes to the space. Adjustable pedestals help establish a level floor surface, while the corner-lock connections secure the panels in place. System selection should account for finished floor height, panel compatibility, equipment loads, rolling loads, and any required anchoring or bracing.
Floor Access Panel Finishes:
High Pressure Laminate Floor Finishes:
High pressure laminate (HPL) is a durable floor access panel finish used in data centers, equipment rooms, offices, and other commercial spaces. Available colors and patterns allow you to select a surface suited to the room's appearance and operating requirements. HPL provides a practical, easy-to-maintain finish with resistance to everyday wear, stains, and scratching, depending on the product. Static-control grades are available for applications with specific electrical performance requirements. We can help you review finish options, panel compatibility, and maintenance requirements when configuring your raised access floor kit.
Floor Access Panel Carpet Squares:
Static-control carpet squares combine a finished commercial appearance with options for electrostatic discharge (ESD) management. Suitable products can be used over raised access flooring in offices, 911 centers, casinos, control rooms, and other environments. Modular carpet squares allow individual areas to be accessed or replaced as needed. Available materials offer comfort, acoustic benefits, and a selection of colors and patterns. Electrical performance depends on the selected carpet, installation method, and any required grounding provisions. We can help you identify a finish that meets your project's appearance, access, and static-control requirements.
Raised Flooring ESD Rubber Squares:
ESD rubber squares provide conductive or static-dissipative finish options for compatible raised flooring systems. Available interlocking tiles use a tab design that can simplify installation over bare raised access floor panels. Certain products can be installed without adhesive, subject to the manufacturer's instructions and project conditions. These finishes are available for spaces requiring static control, including applications with rolling traffic. Selected products incorporate recycled materials and may support project sustainability goals. Confirm the required electrical performance, grounding method, traffic rating, and installation details before choosing an ESD finish.
