FreeAxez is made of double 16 gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel plate. Due to its solid construction, durability, and excellent anti-corrosive
properties, FreeAxez can be re-used many times due to re-location or floor plan changes.
Unlike other low acces floors, FreeAxez contains no Concrete, Wood or Plastic.
While FreeAxez is relatively lightweight - adding a mere 5.25 PSF to live load of the building - the 34 support legs of the base unit and dual-ply construction of the reinforcing ribs ensure high-strength. The "feel" is solid, but not bouncy like the pedestal / panel raised floors. |
Base Units (FA-4001/FA-7001) are rated at minimum of 1120 PSI. Channel Plates (FA-4003) & Corner Plates (FA-4002) are rated at minimum of 510 PSI. With Reinforcing Bands (FA-4105 / FA-7105), the entire system is rated at minimum 1900+ PSI. FreeAxez has been tested and certified by an accredited third-party test agency to AC175. Load, Electrical, Fire and Earthquake test results are on file and available. FreeAxez is UL listed and carries a Material / Equipment Acceptance (MEA) number for approved installation in the city of New York.
A configuration of 34 support legs per base unit, coupled with a structure that takes advantage of the inherent flexibility of steel, allow FreeAxez to adapt to some unevenness in sub-floor surface. Consequently, the floor feels stable with virtually no bumpiness or creaking.
Flat reinforcing ribs are on the underside of each unit.

The reinforcing ribs are on the back of each unit so that they do not show on the surface of the floor.
Special construction prevents metallic noise and resonance.

A cushion sheet under the top plate of the base unit prevents metallic noise.
The many small holes on top of the units are designed to absorb resonance. This has been a problem with conventional raised access floors.
The acoustic performance of the FreeAxez design is unparalleled in the marketplace. The 34 support legs contain and "baffle" sound transmission; the floor is not only virtually silent to walk upon, it also prevents conversation and noise from travelling, assuring privacy in the work environment.
