Raised Floors, Raised Expectations

摘要

Beyond knowing the value raised floors (and underfloor air distribution [UFAD]) bring to a structure, it is important to determine how they will be used in a building in order to properly specify the system. Load performance is critical to the specification process. The raised floor system is made up of a panel and supporting understructure. These components give the system a specific set of load performance characteristics. Various panel and understructure options can be used to meet a building's specific requirements, including light industrial use and seismic zone requirements.
