BSP RAISED ACCESS FLOORING

The intelligent design of modern buildings requires highly flexible solutions that meet both architectural and functional requirements. Today, modular raised floor are a normal part of the fit-out in modern offices and public administration buildings.

“Raised floor (or sometime calls access floor)” are industrially prefabricated floor panels and pedestals that are installed by a dry construction method. Any of the panels freely supported on the pedestals can be taken up to access the floor cavity.

The reliability and the simplicity of the raised floor construction make it irreplaceable for the banks, offices, computer centers, power centers, airport dispatch centers and other areas with exclusive equipment standards.

Not only can electrical installations be ACCOMMODATED IN the floor cavity, but also water, waste water, pneumatic tube conveyors, compressed air, central vacuum cleaning systems, etc.

Originally, the raised floor construction was created for wiring closets, transformer stations, offices, etc. – places where easy access to the equipment was needed without interrupting operations.

A decisive advantage of access floor (raised floor) is that they can also handle air-conditioning tasks, such as ventilating via swirl diffusers, or with higher requirements for ventilation and airflow, via entire ventilation panels.

 Raised access flooring was created in response to the need to hide large volumes of cables, pipework, tubing, etc. that are typically found in offices, technical ROOMS, and other locations. The installation of a raised floor creates a space under the floor where all these services, including equipment and ROOM cooling systems, can be neatly housed and hidden away.

Designed to be Installed in Raised Access Flooring System:

Facilities with a high volume of services or in ROOMS that house technical equipment that requires special ventilation.

Commercial applications: offices, libraries, museums, schools, shopping centres, etc.

Technical applications: telecommunications/electricity plants, control rooms, laboratories, data centres, etc.

BSP raised floor is the raised floor (access floor) that can be easily inserted in any work environment, such as a meeting ROOM, an EDP ROOM, an office area or an auditorium. Today, computers and office lay-outs are becoming increasingly sophisticated to keep pace with both the advanced technology of work and information systems, and the improved organization of modern, dynamic companies.

In the traditional construction the installation of plants is a costly work requiring long building interventions, particularly in the restorations and, at the end of the work, it does not allow to inspect what has been done.

The growth of computerized supports in the offices makes the situation even more difficult as phone, fax and computer lines are added to traditional plants. BSP raised floor solves the problem with low costs and easy use.

Advantages of Raised Access Flooring System

• Ability to hide away all types of ugly and dangerous cables, pipes etc under the floor.

• Improved installation efficiency in comparison to conventional floors (installation rate of about 40 m2/day).

• Easy to take with you when relocating offices.

• Option of rerouting services following installation of floor.

Advantages Over Other Raised Access Floor Systems

• Able to withstand a high mechanical load.

• The potential for combining different structures, as required in each particular case.

• A high resistance to fire under laboratory tests.

• Very low dimensional tolerances, between +0,1 and -0,2 mm. This means that the panels can easily be interchanged.

• Cores made of high-performance materials with very high densities.

• Compliance with UNE EN ISO 9001, guaranteeing quality controls during each stage of the manufacturing process.

• On the top surface, any 60 x 60 ceramic tile by Porcelanosa or other non-ceramic coverings (plastic laminate,

linoleum, vinyl, granite, aluminium, steel, carpet, parquet etc) can be used.

• Tiles protected by a plastic surround to prevent the edges from breaking.

• A wide range of complementary products to ensure a good finish.

BSP Raised Floor Panel

This precision engineered modular panel, is made of a structural rigid steel and filled a cementitious compound. The structure of the panel allows for interchangeability, ease of installation and excellent load performance. For the end user it provides a solid underfoot feel. For the installer the captive screw option allows for rapid installation. Finally, the BSP Access Panel provides excellent grounding and electrical continuity.

The BSP Panel, with its unique isotropic design, is coated with a epoxy baked paint finish and is non-combustible. The load performance CISCA, EN standards.

Perforated Panel – a 600 x 600mm raised access floor panel specially constructed to allow air flow distribution from under the raised access floor. Load ratings are equal to full panels. Available with high pressure laminate surface covering to match full panels. Typically 19%, 20% of the surface is open area in a rectangular arrangement of small holes.

Base – the component which is fastened to the concrete slab or mechanical fasteners. Typically composed of a flat steel plate and a pipe of the necessary length to achieve the desired finished floor height.

Head – the component which inserts into the base and provides a platform for seating the panel on the understructure. Typically provided with a vibration proof leveling nut to provide fine adjustment of finished floor height. Also provided with locations to fasten panels of stringers in place. There are many configurations of heads, and most are not interchangeable with others. This is the component most critical to matching replacement understructure. Pedestal (or Pedestal Assembly) – one Base and on Head.

Stringer – steel or tube which is fastened to the pedestal head to provide lateral stability. Usually provided in 600 length or can be snapped in place or fastened from the top with a screw. Used to form the grid system, in stringer systems there is one stringer under each edge of each access floor panel, except for special conditions and parallel to the wall at the perimeter.
