Raised Floor Definition, Structure, Characteristics & Advantages


Raised floor is also called anti-static floor or anti-static floor. It is a floor that can be flexibly installed and disassembled on the concrete floor of the equipment room as required. The ground floor is a very important part of the engineering and technical facilities in each room of the computing center. Anti-static steel raised floors or aluminum raised access floors should be used in the main room area, and anti-static metal raised floors or general raised floors can be used in the terminal room area. Power area and office area can use general terrazzo floor or wooden floor. The following introduces access floor and anti-static raised floor. The use of anti-static floor can form an underground space in the machine room.

Raised Floor Definition - What is Raised Access Floor?

1. The raised floor structure provides suitable space for the signal line, power line and machine ground line system between the laying equipment. Computer equipment can be freely electrically connected through a raised floor. Because raised floors are removable, electrical wiring is easy to lay, maintain and replace. All the wires have access to the equipment from under the raised floor, so that the wires between the equipment can be directly connected with the shortest distance, so that the loss of the signal during transmission can be reduced. Computer equipment uses the space under the raised floor as the static pressure air storage of the air conditioner, which provides convenience for the air conditioning of the equipment and the equipment room. Can obtain a more satisfactory airflow organization. Because the floor with airflow distribution vents is interchangeable with ordinary raised floors, the machine room bone can freely adjust the airflow distribution. Regardless of the location of the equipment, the air-conditioned air can be obtained through the air flow on the floor.
2. Regardless of the shape and area of ​​the computer room, it can be easily and quickly assembled and easily dismantled. This facilitates the layout and adjustment of the equipment, while reducing the transformation of building facilities caused by equipment expansion or replacement. The unevenness of the floor can be leveled with the help of an adjustable stand. The floor surface is firm, abrasion-resistant, clean, dust-free, non-vacuum-proof, non-reflective, and non-slip. It can be wet-washed and cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. The antistatic steel raised floor is used in the main room, which can make the static charge leak to the ground and reflect electromagnetic radiation.

Raised Access Floor Structure & Components

The main components of raised floor are floor panels, adjustable movable support, truss and load-bearing, and horizontal strip cushions for sealing. In terms of the materials used for flooring, they are roughly divided into three categories: pure wooden flooring, composite flooring, all-steel flooring, and metal flooring.

Raised Access Floor System Types

Woodcore Raised Floor Panels

The advantages of woodcoreraised floorings are low cost and easy processing, but the strength is poor, it is susceptible to moisture and deformation, and it is easy to cause a fire. Generally, it is not used in the machine room.

Calcium Sulphate Raised Floor Panels

The base material of the composite raised floor is laminated particleboard, cement particleboard or calcium sulfate, with plastic finishes affixed to the upper and lower surfaces, sealed with paint around, or covered with galvanized iron. Its advantages are flat and smooth, dust-free, easy to clean, flexible, anti-corrosive, fire-resistant, and beautiful in color. It is a commonly used raised floor.

Aluminum Raised Access Floor Panels

The metal raised floor is made of aluminum alloy or steel by casting or die-casting, and the upper surface is pasted with antistatic cutting surface. The advantages of aluminum raised flooring are: high strength, little effect of temperature and humidity, high accuracy of the floor, easy to guarantee key dimensions, smooth ground after laying, small gaps in the joint, and improved antistatic effect. However, aluminum access flooring is expensive, and it is generally installed in the main computer room of large, medium and small computers with high requirements. Starting from the performance-price ratio, this plan recommends the use of composite plastic veneer flooring as the floor building material for the computer room.
