1. Identify the space and its use

Office cabling, data center equipment and controlled environments have different requirements. Define the room, the equipment it will support and how often the underfloor space must be accessed.

2. Specify loading and finished height

Share expected concentrated and rolling loads, finished floor height and site dimensions. Ask for the load test method and the specification for the exact panel and support system being proposed.

3. Consider electrical and environmental needs

Where electrostatic control matters, state the required electrical performance and applicable test method. Consider humidity, fire requirements, surface finishes and cleaning alongside your project specification.

4. Plan services and airflow

Coordinate cable routes, air distribution and openings with the wider building design. Ventilated panels should be selected and positioned with the mechanical design team; airflow depends on the complete system.

What to send with an enquiry

Provide the application, floor area, finished height, load requirements, preferred surface, location and project schedule. Explore flooring systems or discuss your project.
