1.1 Why do I need a Low Profile, All-Steel, Modular, Quick-Connect Flooring System?

  • The modern office needs to organize a tremendous amount of cables and wires in order to accommodate computer networks, telephones, faxes and general power requirements. FreeAxez 40 at only 1.6” (40 mm) height and FreeAxez 70 at only 2.75” (70 mm) height can accommodate these requirements.
  • Older generation raised floors were designed to run air because computers generated a tremendous amount of heat. Due to the rapid development of modern office technology, running air through the floor is not a necessity anymore and a low profile cable management solution is the most effective and attractive.
  • In order to keep things clean, organized and accessible while at same time preserving ceiling height, FreeAxez offers the perfect solution.
  • Because of the FreeAxez all steel construction, it can be picked up, moved and rearranged multiple times without deteriorating.
  • FreeAxez is made of 16 gauge zinc galvanized steel and is 100% recyclable.
  • Because FreeAxez is installed without any screws and core drilling it can depreciate as equipment and thus saves money in the long term.
  • FreeAxez can also be leased.

1.2 Why is FreeAxez the better solution for the office environment?

  • FreeAxez is easily and quickly installed at a rate of 1000 square feet per installer per day.
  • FreeAxez has a high cable capacity. FreeAxez 40 (1.6”) can accommodate 50 CAT 5 cables every 15 inches at 40% capacity. That is more than sufficient for any office and computer room.
  • FreeAxez offers flexibility. Because of the unique design, adds, moves and changes are a snap. All modules interlock mechanically and are held down by gravity. The cable channels are opened without any tools and cables are easily installed and rearranged after the flooring is laid.
  • FreeAxez does not feel like a raised floor. Light-weight and high-strength construction guarantees stability without creaking and bumpiness and eliminates any sensation of walking on an access floor.
  • FreeAxez does not sound like a raised floor. FreeAxez has innovative design features that eliminate footfall and sound resonation.
  • FreeAxez preserves ceiling height and avoids the spaghetti-salad-cable arrangement you find with other floors or in the ceiling.

1.3 Can FreeAxez adjust to varying floor heights and uneven sub-floors?

  • FreeAxez adapts to unevenness in the sub-floor surface. The design allows for easy adjustment to accommodate uneven expansion joints or other imperfections in the sub-floor requiring less floor preparation.
  • FreeAxez can be installed on any floor that is suitable for carpeting or PVC flooring. FreeAxez slopes and ramps are available to cope with different floor heights and handicapped access requirements.

1.4 Can FreeAxez adjust to circular installations?

  • FreeAxez can be arranged in circular installations with its standard border components.    The intuitive design provides standard components to accommodate curved or irregular walls to ensure a smooth finish from wall to wall.

1.5 How does FreeAxez achieve a tight fit along the walls?

  • FreeAxez borders and frames are designed to slide flush to the walls and are then fastened to the top of the base units.

1.6 Is FreeAxez reusable?

  • All FreeAxez components are reusable.
  • Relocation is merely a logistical issue. FreeAxez can easily be picked up and moved because it is not fastened to the sub-floor but held down by gravity. The only screws necessary for the system are to hold down ramps and slopes.

1.7 Does FreeAxez have special outlets for cables?

  • FreeAxez provides base units, channel plates and corner plates with wiring outlets. No cutting and drilling are necessary and the system stays clean and organized.
  • FreeAxez offers wire connectors and electrical outlet boxes built into the system. FreeAxez also accommodates other brand outlet service boxes.

1.8 Does FreeAxez require special carpet tiles?

  • FreeAxez will work with any brand carpet or PVC tiles. The tiles can be self-adhesive or you can apply pressure-sensitive glue to the floor-surface, which will hold the tiles in place while still allowing easy access to the wiring channels. We also offer attractive solid wood flooring modules custom designed for FreeAxez.
  • FreeAxez should only be used with tiles because any other type of floor covering would defeat the purpose of the system.
