Reconstructing homes or workplaces once the construction process is completed is both a costly and troublesome job. However, this situation can become unavoidable from time to time due to constantly changing needs. The need for elevating the floors of buildings has also been increasing recently. The need for raised flooring has increased both in terms of sensitive air conditioning works and in order to place the installation products to be laid under the floor. The need for these products has also increased, especially in order to avoid unnecessary renovation costs and to benefit from the advantages of the raised floor.
For this, standing or fixable panels are generally preferred. Raised floor panels are generally produced in 60 cm width and 60 cm length. However, it is also possible to produce different sizes in line with the need. This method is used especially in cases where the cables to be used are high or the number of cables is high. Another advantage of choosing raised flooring is that it contributes to the increase in the height of the items on the floor. This method is also very convenient in terms of upgrading office materials that make it difficult to work because of its short size or require continuous bending.
Where Is Raised Floor Used?
The increasing need for raised floor systems products has expanded the usage areas of these products. Data centers are at the top of these areas of use. Data centers with cables with large load carrying capacities are generally delivered to ideal temperature values with sensitive air conditioning methods. Passing these heat-emitting cables over the surface is a situation that causes a decrease in the efficiency of air conditioning systems. For this reason, raised floor systems are used because of the possibility that the cables are carried under the ground and without affecting the environment.
Schools and educational institutions are also among the areas where these systems are used extensively. Especially moving the system cables from the surface in such environments can cause both damage to the cables and students to be damaged from this situation. Raised flooring is also very common in hospitals and healthcare centers. This application is of great importance in order to eliminate the bad appearance caused by the cables to be carried from the surface and to carry out air conditioning in sensitive environments such as operating rooms.
In fact, the only purpose of these applications is not to carry cables. Due to their resistance to rust, raised floors are also used for covering and protecting systems that are desired to be protected for a long time.
There are many reasons why this application is attractive to use. At the beginning of these reasons, it is possible to talk about the low cost. The lowest cost method that can be applied in terms of taking cables underground or submerging other installation products is the raised floor method. It also has an advantage in terms of overcoming construction troubles and situations such as crushing and pouring. In addition, it is possible to mention that raised floors can be easily installed and removed as easily as another advantage.
Raised floors can also be removed and reused in a different area if desired. In addition, these systems are also resistant to fire. Thanks to the raised floor systems, which are difficult to ignite and slow down the fire, it becomes possible to reduce the risk to low levels in areas where there is system equipment that needs to be protected.
Profiles used in the manufacture of raised floors are made of stainless material. This means that the installation elements taken under protection or underground can be preserved for a long time without any problems. In addition to all these functional features, decorative raised floors are also useful. Raised floors, which add a distinct architectural atmosphere to their environments, are preferred in many areas even thanks to their modern appearance.
Finally, it is possible to say that these products are used to make air conditioning systems more useful. Especially in areas such as data centers where heat generation is high and where balancing is needed, this method is used to make air conditioning systems work more functionally. Thanks to taking the cables underground, the ambient temperature becomes more stable. In this way, air conditioning systems can give more effective results.
