Raised Access Floor for Precise and Flexible Flooring Solutions

In many industrial and healthcare projects, requirements intensify. Especially in technical zones, laboratories, or open-plan offices, the question arises early on: How can electrical, IT, and building services be integrated in a space-saving and maintainable way? The answer is clear: A raised access floor system.

What is a Raised Access Floor? Structure and Function

A raised access floor is a fully supported double floor, mounted on steel pedestals or support systems. Between the load-bearing structural slab and the usable surface, a defined cavity is created, ideal for accommodating installations, cables, and technical equipment.

Typical Structure of a Raised Access Floor

  • Support Structure: Steel pedestals, height-adjustable
  • Panel Elements: Cement or calcium sulphate panels
  • Cavity Height: Customizable (from approx. 50 mm)
  • Surface: Optionally with dry screed or covered with floor coverings
  • Accessibility: Via inspection openings or outlet systems

In contrast to simple dry floors or screed constructions, the raised access floor creates a permanently usable technical space.

Application Areas for Raised Access Floors

Administrative Buildings with High Installation Density Quick adaptation to complex conduit and cable requirements.
Hospitals, Laboratories, and Cleanrooms Safe, hygienic, and flexibly usable flooring solutions.
Data Centers and IT Environments Reliable infrastructure for high data and energy loads.
Educational Institutions with Multimedia Equipment Easy integration of modern technology into classrooms.
Production Areas with Variable Machine Cabling Flexible cable management for dynamic manufacturing environments.

Fire Protection and Safety: Tested Raised Access Floors According to Standards

A frequently underestimated aspect is fire protection for raised access floors. Our solutions are designed to reliably meet fire protection requirements according to national and European guidelines. Fire resistance classes up to REI 60 are achievable – documented, tested, certified.

Upon request, we also integrate:

  • Cable firestops
  • Smoke and fire detection systems
  • Fire-retardant partitions within the cavity

Costs and Cost-Effectiveness

The costs for a raised access floor depend on the project scope, installation height, load requirements, and special features. Important: Compared to seemingly cheaper screed solutions, you save in the long term through:

  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Faster commissioning
  • Flexible subsequent installations without structural interventions

We would be pleased to provide you with a transparent cost-effectiveness analysis and a customized cost overview.

Raised Access Floor vs. Conventional Flooring Solutions

In contrast to screed floors, installations within the raised access floor are accessible at all times. Modifications can be implemented quickly and flexibly, construction time is shorter, and fire protection can be integrated directly into the floor structure.
