Raised
access flooring is used today in a wide range of situations where there
is a significant level of building services. Examples include:
1. Financial and Insurance offices where there is a need for a significant
level of computer/telecom equipment.
2. National and Local Government offices, again there is a need for a significant
level of computer/telecom equipment.
3. General administration buildings across the complete range of industries
where the use of computer/telecom equipment is widespread.
4. Call Centers. Office environments set up to handle large-scale customer enquiries thereby requiring significant levels of computer/telecom equipment.
5. Data processing centers. Large scale computer rooms set up for the processing
of electronic data e.g. customer information, financial information.
6. Telecom switch centers. Old mechanical telephone exchanges now replaced by electronic
switch facilities. Also new mobile technology requires new electronic switch facilities.
7. Distribution centers. These facilities distribute a vast range of fast moving
consumer goods with order processing and such activities handled in a modern office environment.
8. Educational facilities. Raised flooring used in specific learning areas
in schools, universities etc. Also used in library and major archive areas.
9. Retail facilities such as major department stores increasingly using
raised floors surfaced with special finishes.
10. Industries requiring clean room facilities such as electronic and pharmaceutical.
11. Light industrial and specialist industries where flexibility and the use
of under floor services would be advantageous.

Why use a raised access floor?
A
raised access floor is used to provide a means of creating a void below
floor level which is capable of ensuring building services are
available at their required destination. These services will typically
include the following:
1. electrical power
2. data
3. telecom
4. environmental control/air conditioning
5. fire detection and suppression
6. security
7. water and drainage.
The use of a raised access floor will allow quick and easy access to these services for maintenance reasons. Also in today's modern office environment Churn is a major issue. That is the number of times that the office layout has to be modified to cater for changing requirements brought about by new technology, new personnel or new tenants to a building.
