Gridd 40 vs. Gridd 70: Choose a low-profile fixed height:
Gridd40 (1.6″, 40 mm) -OR- Gridd70 (2.75″, 70 mm)
Deciding factors:
Floor Area: Smaller floor areas with minimal space is best accommodated with Gridd40 (1:12 slope is 19”, 1:20 slope is 33”).
Cable Capacity: Intense cable distribution requirements may best be served with Gridd70. However, Gridd70 has longer ramps ( 1:12 slope is 33″, 1:20 is 55″).
Ceiling Height: Low ceiling height may impact floor height selection.
Gridd Specifications: FreeAxez is a patented all steel, quick-connect low-profile access floor system consisting of a series of modular, removable, interchangeable steel base units, corner plates, channel plates, border units, and accessories. To find out more click here.
Product Selection Guidelines
Gridd – Standard vs. Reinforced: What are the facility’s expected floor loading conditions?
Gridd is a commercial construction grade product that can be reinforced to accommodate “heavy” floor load conditions as by the International Building Code (IBC).
Ramp Selections
1:12 Ramp:
Gridd40 1.6″ height = 19″ length.
Gridd70 2.75″ height = 33″ length.
1:20 Ramp:
1:20 slope or less is not considered a ramp.
Gridd40 1.6″ height = 33″ length.
Gridd 702.75″ height = 55″ length.
Custom slopes and angles are available.
1:20 slope or less is not considered a ramp
Handrailings are not required for rises under 6 inches in height.
Frame:
Frame is a fascia enclosure component used to conceal an otherwise exposed open edge of the access floor system.
