Description
This screw down floor panel is fully rated to the requirements of
the Harmonised European Standard for raised access floors, BSEN
12825. The design incorporates a unique wrap-around construction
which provides total encapsulation of the chipboard core. This design
also improves panel edge strength and accessibility.
With overall thickness of 26mm this slim design provides the maximum
usable void within the confines of a given finished floor height,
an important aspect when the slab to slab dimension is limited.

Construction
The 600mm square TorLock medium grade is manufactured to a thickness
of 26mm using a high density chipboard core fully bonded and encapsulated
within a casing of galvanised steel. The panels are engineered to
fine dimensional tolerances for modular control, accurate grids
and prevention of creep. A unique die-formed perimeter flange protects
against edge damage and panel jamming.
Full dimensional accuracy ensures that all TorLock medium grade
panels are fully interchangeable with each other. Corner locking
to the pedestal head gives rock free solid stability, safeguarding
the floor's structural properties even during heavy maintenance,
while still allowing authorised access to the floor void.

- The above information is based on testing in compliance with the BSEN 12825 specification. The classifications shown are based on a deflection under working load not exceeding 2.5mm and a safety factor of 3.
- Uniformly distributed loads are shown for information as they do not form part of BSEN 12825. However the figures shown are based on testing in accordance with BSEN 12825.
- Finished floor heights from 55mm to 1000mm are available using one of our standard pedestals. For heights outside of this range altenative pedestals are available.
- The classification given is based on the use of the Kingspan range of pedestals.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
|
| Acoustic Performance |
Airborne sound insulation rating in the range
of 33dB. This is an indicative laboratory figure for the bare panel
only with no barrier in the void. This rating is determined according
to BS EN 717-2 1997. The tests were carried out in accordance with
BS EN 140-3 and BS EN 140-12 |
| Air Seals |
Used to minimise air leakage through raised
floor, air leakage of 0.4litres/sec/m2 at a pressure of 25Pa. This
is an indicative figure only based upon laboratory testing. |
| Bridging Sections |
Where obstructions in the void prevent the use
of pedestals. |
| Foil Tape |
Aluminium foil tape to seal the edge of cut
panels. |
| Pedestal Mechanical Fixings |
To fix pedestals to floor in addition to adhesive
for greater rigidity at increased floor heights/increased loadings
or in situations where the sub-floor requires additional fixing. |
| Pedestal Earth Clamps |
Provides an electrical connection to the floor
system for earth bonding purposes. All conductive components of the
raised access floor must be earth bonded in accordance with BS 7671-2001,
16th Edition Wiring Regulations. |
| Perimeter Gasket |
20 x 9mm foam tape aplied to the panel edge
between floor and wall if required. |
| Ramps and Steps |
Provided to accommodate changes in floor level. |
| Stringers |
Snap on: provide additional lateral stability
at increased floor heights.
Bolt on: provide additional lateral stability at increased
load bearing properties. |
