Additional Flooring Recommendations

Consider the following recommendations for raised floor installations:
The flooring should be high enough to allow under the floor routing of cables and specified
airflow to system air intakes. The recommended minimum floor clearance is 30.5 cm (12 in).
An additional 7.6 cm (3 in) should be allowed for cables and connectors. A floor clearance
of 46 cm (18 in) is recommended for new construction.
Additional panel support may be required to restore the structural integrity of a raised floor
panel that has been cut for air opening, cable entry, and so on. Raised floors without stringers
may also require lateral support to prevent floor tile movement.
The finished floor-to-ceiling height should be a minimum of 2.44 meters (8 feet).
The subfloor must have adequate drainage to prevent flooding and trapping of water beneath
the raised floor. Cement should be sealed to prevent the formation of particulates.
