A significant advantage of a raised floor is concealment. A raised floor is when an elevated floor is constructed above a structure’s original slab surface. Imagine a patio installed over a concrete pad or built on top of a flat roof. In the void created beneath the raised floor, there is space for pipes, electrical, or even drainage to remain hidden yet reachable. For maintenance or inspection, simply lift the porcelain tile or other surface material for easy access when you need to access the pipes or conduits below.
Raised floors can reduce the weight of a new structure, an important feature in rooftop applications. They help reduce construction time, labour, and various associated expenses. Raised floors are also ideal over sloped surfaces and can easily be levelled with adjustable pedestals.
