1. IntroductionThe design of today's buildings requires a delicate balance between architectural and equipment considerations. This balance must be one that satisfies all parties involved with the building's design and use and, as a consequence, a great deal of flexibility is required within the final solution.The Nesite Access Floor goes a long way to providing the answer. It is available in a vast range of finishes, with tremendous scope for layout design, together with simple installation and overall programme economy.

2. General descriptionThe basic surface on which the pedestals stand can be either the rough slab of a new building or the original floor in a refurbishment project. The variable height, steel substructure is laid on the original surface, with the modular panels being placed side by side on top of it forming a uniform smooth surface with the appearance of a solid floor. The resulting void between the access floor panels and the original
surface can then be used to facilitate the laying of various cables,
ducts, pipes, and air conditioning, with the added bonus of easy access
for servicing. The advantages of such a system include:
In addition, the Nesite Access Floor helps to reduce building costs, while at the same time, preserving the original surface for any future design changes. As information systems spread more and more from data centres to normal offices, the need for flexibility in the floor system becomes ever more important. Now raised access floors are being viewed with interest for other areas. The Nesite High Class range caters for the high image requirements of areas open to the public. Numerous surface finishes are available ranging from simple bare steel and carpet through to high quality ceramics and marble. All of which ensure that the Nesite Access Floor can be installed in any type of location to provide a perfect surface not only for immediate tenants, but also for those of the future who may require alterations in the layout without incurring high costs.

3. Floor systemFloor panels are supported on pedestals and stringers, allowing the floor to be raised between one hundred millimeters and one meter or more in special cases. For use with the Flexible Space air conditioning system a floor void height of 300mm is recommended with a minimum of 200mm. This sub-structure provides the support for Fantiles and Return Grilles where floor tiles are cut to permit their placement.The floor void will become a service zone for electronics and conditioned air supply for the users of the space. Once laid the floor is fitted out with fantiles and return grilles along with fire barriers and air segregation baffles. This element may be delayed if a tenant has not been found.

4. Panels
A range of high class floor panels are available. Generally 32mm thick and 600mm square, the system allows full panels to be removed from any location and substituted with others. The panels can be cut to accommodate most forms of floor box electrical outlet, access port or power pole and when laid on the gasket provide a suitably tight air seal.

5. CarpetWe offer a wide range of 600mm square carpets to match the size of our floor panels thus avoiding carpet wastage each time a floor box, fan terminal or return grille is repositioned. Certain ranges of the carpets have a 10 Year wear, and 5 Year stain and fade warranty, offering the finest value for money. |
