Raised floor system help create the perfect indoor environment by maintaining high-quality clean air, improving personal comfort control, responding to organizational and technological changes quickly and cost-effectively. Installing a raised floor system involves several steps and considerations. Here are the key aspects to consider:

1. Planning and design: Before installation, it’s crucial to plan and design the layout of the raised access floor system. Determine the finished floor height, the type of panels, and any necessary accessories like cable management and air conditioning. The raised floor and supporting understructure should meet your application’s requirements and load-bearing requirements.

2. Preparation of the subfloor: The subfloor must be prepared before installing the raised access floor system. This involves removing any existing flooring, and cleaning the subfloor.   The subfloor should be free from any debris, bumps, or cracks that may cause unevenness in the raised floor system.

3. Installation of pedestals: The pedestals are the foundation of the raised access floor system. They are installed on the subfloor using adhesive and provide support for the floor panels. Use a laser to ensure that the pedestals are level and installed evenly. Each pedestal should be adjusted to the correct elevation and measured before applying any adhesive. You can use a 10-foot leveling bar to double-check.

4. Installation of stringers: Stringers are horizontal support members that connect the pedestals and provide additional strength to the floor system. Stringers are secured to the pedestals using screws.

5. Installation of panels: The panels are the visible part of the raised access floor system. They are placed on top of the pedestals and stringers. In most cases, some panels must be cut to fit the layout, and any necessary holes for cables, pipes, or air vents must be made. Ensure the panels fit snugly and don’t slip or rock back and forth.

6. Testing and inspection: After installing the raised access floor system, it’s essential to test the floor to ensure there’s no swing or sound when people walk on the floor. You may want to perform additional load testing, electrical and data testing, and visual inspections. After thoroughly inspecting the work, have a licensed general contractor provide a formal inspection.
