How FreeAxez All Steel Low-Profile Flooring System Contributes to Construction Waste Management:

FreeAxez minimizes construction waste at both initial construction and in the future when the space is vacated or planned for demolition. Moves, adds and changes are handled easily and efficiently without frustration or feelings of obsolescence for the occupants. FreeAxez prolongs the lifecycle of useful space for any given project by 2 or 3 times.
FreeAxez is gravity-held and is assembled without glues, screws or fasteners. The FreeAxez array of intelligent border components allows any space to fitted without the need for cutting metal and producing waste. A FreeAxez installation produces negligible construction waste and therefore diverts material from landfill disposal.
When a space is vacated or planned for demolition, the portability attribute of FreeAxez allows for the redirection and reuse of material to the next application. The durable FreeAxez all steel floor can be disassembled, transported and reassembled / reused many times without degradation. If there is no planned follow-on space requirement, the manufacturer will buy back the material for up to 10 years from purchase. Also, the FreeAxez floor is 100% recyclable. A FreeAxez installation diverts material from landfill disposal.
