Calcium sulfate access floor

Calcium sulfate is another type of access floor, the technology of which is limited and only available to a few European, Western and Chinese countries, and so far the conditions for its production in Iran have not been met. The engineering community in the construction industry was looking for a product that could provide safety and a suitable opportunity to evacuate the space in case of fire, and this product, due to its fireproof and non-flammable properties, could meet this need. He provided the emergency in the best possible way. One of the prominent characteristics of this product is its non-combustible nature and its fire resistance, which lasts up to 60 minutes, and during this time, no flame is transferred to the outside and above the access floor, and no fall or destruction occurs under the floor. It does not fall and the amount of load and weight that the panel bears will continue for the same 60 minutes.

Also, the calcium sulfate panel has a very special formula and technology, which is obtained from the combination of natural gypsum materials and a type of organic fiber with high density, and due to the naturalness of its raw materials, it has significant properties and characteristics.

It is worth mentioning that Germany’s Knauf Company, as a well-known and reliable brand in the world, is the largest producer of this type of access floor, and Fathiran Company is its only official and exclusive representative in Iran.

What is access floor?

To know the question of what is a access floor, we give a short explanation about it. The access floor is a product that is implemented with the required height on the floor of the main structure. You should keep in mind that the access floor is not considered the main floor of your structure, and depending on the type of use and needs, the type of access floor is also determined.

The access floor is symmetrical to the access ceiling and as we can access the desired facilities in the access ceiling, this also happens in the access floor and in fact the Persian equivalent name of this product is “raised floor” in Iran. It is known and named with the term “access floor” and due to its similarity to the access ceiling.

The access floor, like the access ceiling, has a light structure, but of course, the weight imposed on the structure varies depending on the type of floor material, which is about 20 kg to 50 kg per square meter.

In fact, access floors are considered very necessary for the future needs of a building in today’s society.

What are the components of the access floor?

Different materials and materials are used in the construction and production of the access floor, and the structure and ingredients of the access floor lead to the formation of different types of access floor.

access floor components consist of three main parts: tile, base and stringer in its structure.

Access floor tile: The most important and main part of the access floor is its tile, the structure of the tile is different depending on its use.

60×60 access floor tiles include different coatings, aluminum access floor coating and steel access floor coating have two types of coating:

Access floor tile PVC coating

The base of the access floor: to create the height of Mor Nazar (the distance between the main floor of the structure and the required level), the minimum and maximum height is also variable in different types of access floor, and in some models, it has the ability to adjust the height, as well as the type of structure. The base also varies depending on the type of tile structure.

Stringer: It is used to place the tiles on the bases (horizontal connection between the bases) and also to improve the stability and distribution of the loads imposed on the structure and acts like a frame.
