Why use a raised access floor?

A raised access floor is used to provide a means of creating a void below floor level which is capable of ensuring building services are available at their required destination. These services will typically include the following:

.  electrical power

.  Data

.  telecom

.  environmental control / air conditioning

.  fire detection and suppression

.  security

.  water and drainage.

The use of a raised access floor will allow quick and easy access to these services for maintenance reasons. Also in today's modern office environment Churn is a major issue. That is the number of times that the office layout has to be modified to cater for changing requirements brought about by new technology, new personnel or new tenants to a building.
