Calcium Sulphare Raised floor system is a type of raised flooring system that uses panels made primarily from calcium sulphate (also known as gypsum) as the core material. Here are the key points about calcium sulphate raised floors:
Type of Calcium Sulphate Panels
Stringer System
This type uses stringers - horizontal beams attached with screws to pedestals for extra support. It’s typically used for floors with finishes like high-pressure laminate, suitable for areas needing higher load capacity, like server rooms.
Benefit:
Easier and potentially cheaper to install, suitable for areas where bare floors suffice and loads are lighter, reducing overall costs.
Corner - Lock System
This type doesn’t use stringers, with panels locking together at corners. It’s used for bare floors, simpler in design, and fits standard load requirements, like in less critical office spaces.
Benefit:
Offers increased stability and load-bearing capacity, ideal for heavy traffic or equipment, and where finished, anti-static floors are needed, such as in data centers.
Both types are made from Calcium Sulphate, offering a raised platform
for managing cables and distributing air, essential for modern building
infrastructure.
Composition:
The density of calcium sulphate provides improved impact and airborne sound reduction.
Structure:
It typically has a sandwich structure with a calcium sulphate core, covered on top and bottom with galvanized steel or other materials. The edges are often sealed with PVC or ABS trim.
Fire resistance:
These floors offer excellent fire resistance, outperforming steel raised floors in high-temperature environments.
Moisture resistance:
Calcium sulphate panels have natural resistance to moisture, maintaining structural integrity in high-humidity environments.
Load capacity:
Due to their density and strength, these panels can support heavier loads compared to traditional wood core panels.
Acoustic performance:
The density of calcium sulphate provides improved impact and airborne sound reduction.
Applications:
Commonly used in data centers, computer rooms, telecommunication rooms, server rooms, and other high-grade environments.
Purpose and utility.
Structure of the Panel
The panel's core is made of high-density calcium sulphate (also known as gypsum), which provides excellent load-bearing capacity, fire resistance, and acoustic properties: The top surface finished with galvanized steel.
