Where are raised floors typically installed?
In our years of experience, raised floors are most commonly installed in data centers, server rooms, and office buildings. These floors are typically installed to alleviate cable congestion and provide cooling and ventilation solutions via underfloor air (i.e. HVAC systems). Although those locations are by far the most common, raised floors have also been used in clean rooms (i.e. technology manufacturing), universities, banks, casinos, hospitals, military bases and even oil refineries. Raised floors can be found in virtually every type of commercial building, and although rare, they have even been installed in residential properties.
