Since their creation, Raised Access Floors have been used as a technical solution for installations in any type of special use buildings, in which these installations need to be accessible at all times, yet protected below the flooring.
Nowadays, their use has become more widespread in all types of new and refurbished offices and other buildings, mainly due to the ease of installation of the different systems and the versatility of heights of raised access floors, up to 100 cm.
The use of Raised Access Floors simplifies all types of actions to be carried out in the internal life of the company, as far as mobility or expansion of work stations or equipment are concerned, and allows them to be performed under the floor, in the free space below the lower part of the tile, whereby hot and cold water, drainage, electrical, communications and air conditioning systems are always accessible by simply raising a tile in the event of a fault.
The finish of the upper part of the Porcelain Tile Raised Access Floor provides this type of flooring with a wide range of finishes, textures and colours and aesthetic qualities, as well as resistance, hygiene, insulation and safety advantages that other materials do not possess.
System Design
The different systems of Alcalagres Raised Access Floors are made up of a series of independent aluminium pedestals, which allow the floor to be levelled, within the limits of UNE 41953,3.1.1. When the height exceeds 18 cm or the loads to be supported by the floor are very high, this structure is braced with aluminium crossbeams.
The raised floor tile consists of a central core, which may be of different materials depending on the final application of the floor (prefabricated wood, calcium sulphate, injected steel, etc.), protected by an inner metal covering and an outer plastic edge, which also avoids friction between the different panels.
The finish of the Alcalagres Integral Porcelain Tile allows different lappato or polished finishes, colours and sizes. As the central core is 600 x 600, we may use porcelain tiles of 600x600, 300x600 combining two tiles on the same base, or 300x300 combining four tiles on the same base. The final result is a material with an M-1 or M-0 fire reaction classification, highly resistant to deep abrasion and flexion and with minimal dimensional deviation, as all of the tiles manufactured by Alcalagres are gauge rectified and classified.
