A raised access floor is a platform built several inches above the structural floor, creating a cavity/void between the existing floor/slab and the top surface of a raised access floor system.

The cavity created by the raised access floor system can be utilized for passing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing-related services.

Screed / Traditional IPS costs are lower; however, screed offers no value addition to the client. 

The added value of raised access flooring systems is that the screed cost (during installation) and the recurring relocation costs are nullified in the future.

E.g.:

With an approximate 30,000 sq. ft. floor plate area, the curing time is roughly 20 days, wherein no other agencies can work parallelly. Additionally, if the facility is in a pre-occupied tenant building, screed (wet works) can tend to seep through the floor, causing damage to the facility below.

Raised Flooring is a water levelled floor. Therefore, the partitions can be pre-planned, saving the partition cost as the partition length has decreased significantly.

The loading parameters for the Open Office application are determined based on the required uniformly distributed Load (UDL). In contrast, the Critical Rooms / Data Centres / Control Rooms etc., are determined based on the required Load. Therefore, if there is a mismatch in specifications, you can suggest an equivalent product based on the above parameters.

The minimum finish floor height (FFH) that we can achieve with raised access flooring systems is 65mm; with this, you get a clear cavity of roughly 30 to 35mm, varying on the undulations of the subfloor. In addition, we can install the flooring directly on the mother slab without needing any IPS / Screed; hence, there will be further height savings. 

A detailed site survey report with a laser levelling technique is conducted to determine the lowest FFH we can achieve based on site conditions and undulations.

Yes, the office partitions usually increase the loads on the raised floor by 1,000 kgs per sq. mt. which can easily be carried by any of our raised access floor systems. 

This, in turn, will make routing the services in the underfloor void much simpler and means that the office re-configuration will not leave holes on the raised floor at a later stage.

We have not received any complaint concerning the transmission of noise/sound from one area to another. Also, the carpet (top finish), installed on top of the raised access flooring systems, acts like an acoustic barrier. However, you can use acoustic obstacles if a specific need exists in a few areas.

At the initial stage, our project management team visits the site, undertakes a laser levelled survey of the entire floor plate, and demarcates the points at different locations on the shop drawings. Based on that data, we pre-plan our pedestals to ensure any undulation on the subfloor.

In the case of Office areas, we use glue for bare raised access flooring systems to ensure that the bonding between the pedestal base plate and mother slab is rock solid. For Critical Room applications, we use glue till 450mm FFH; above that, we anchor the pedestals to the mother slab with fasteners.

Unitile offers a value-add Ramp Shoe solution composed of heavy-duty anodized aluminium compatible with the raised access flooring systems ensuring that your entire office space is modular and flexible. The dimensions of the Ramp Shoe are 2000mm (L) x 395mm (W) x 50mm (H), along with the dust matting strip integration, ensuring that the dust and debris are restricted at the entrance. A specially designed swivel head is used, which rotates 180 degrees to provide an accurate ramp slope.

Yes, steps that are widely applied in auditoriums and classrooms can be easily achieved with the step-up application. This system is a technologically advanced superior step pedestal on which we can achieve two different finish floor heights on the same pedestal.

The front facia can be covered with the help of carpentry work having any desired finish on top or Axiom (Extrude Aluminium section) profile which will be in the scope of the General Contractor.

The general practice is to use aluminium foil tape to seal the cut-outs to ensure there is no ingress of moisture and dust.

The technologically advanced Unifold panels come with 3.25 double fold wrapped technology around the perimeter, leaving no play for the panels to overlap on top of each other and sit perfectly aligned. Due to these parameters and other design enhancements like increased footprint area, corner radius and beam width, we guarantee a noise-neutral floor for the facility's lifecycle.

Yes, many times, due to non-adherence to good installation practices at the site, workmen tend to lift the laminate panels with screwdrivers and other such methods while accessing the underfloor services. 

Unitile offers a calcium sulphate panel with an aluminium edge profile that creates a perfect bond that further protects the edges from getting damaged.

Unitile offers a 1-year warranty for raised access flooring systems on all technical loading parameters, and the system last the facility's lifetime, which is 25 years.

The Steel and Cementitious Panels are non-combustible. Tested for Class O & Class 1, as per BS 476 Part 6 & 7, ASTM E84 1998 (Flammability) and ASTM E136 (Combustibility). These are the leading standards across the globe for raised access flooring systems. 

The calcium sulphate panels have an hour fire rating. Tested for En1366 Part 6:2005 & En1366, Part 1:1999
