What is a raised floor? The five parts explained
A raised floor (also called an access floor) is a floor built above the existing concrete slab, leaving a void underneath for building services. A system has five main parts.
1. Panels sit loose in the grid, so you can lift them one at a time to work underneath.
2. Pedestals support each panel corner and adjust in height, so the finished floor is level even when the slab is not.
3. Stringers link the pedestal heads into a grid and make the whole system stiffer.
4. The void carries power, data, pipes, or cool air.
5. The top finish is chosen to suit the room.
The benefit users mention most: you can move desks or add outlets without breaking the slab. That is why raised floors are used in offices as well as server rooms and control rooms.
