OA500 steel raised access flooring is a high-performance raised floor system made of steel-encapsulated panels with a minimum steel thickness of 0.5 mm. The panels are installed on an adjustable pedestal understructure, creating an accessible space beneath the floor for cabling, electrical wiring, HVAC lines, and other building services. This design provides strong load capacity, easy maintenance, and flexible system integration for modern commercial and technical environments.
OA500 steel raised access flooring provides a comprehensive set of performance advantages that make it ideal for modern commercial and technical environments. Key benefits include:
Exceptional strength and long-term durability thanks to high-quality steel panel construction
Superior fire resistance, enhancing building safety and compliance
Improved acoustic performance, helping reduce noise transmission in office or data-center settings
Efficient thermal conductivity, supporting HVAC performance and stable room temperatures
Fast, clean, and cost-effective installation, with simplified maintenance over the product’s lifespan
Flexible configuration options, making it easy to adapt to future workspace re-layouts, cabling upgrades, or equipment changes
This combination of durability, safety, and adaptability makes OA500 steel raised access flooring a reliable choice for commercial buildings, control rooms, data centers, and regional projects requiring stable, high-load flooring systems.
The load capacity of OA500 steel raised access flooring depends on panel size, steel thickness, and pedestal spacing. Typically, OA500 panels can safely support loads ranging from 500 kg to 1000 kg per square meter, making them suitable for commercial offices, data centers, control rooms, and other high-load environments. Proper evaluation of the complete panel-and-pedestal system ensures reliable performance under real installation conditions.
Yes, OA500 steel raised access flooring can be fully customized to meet specific project needs. Options include custom panel sizes, surface finishes, and accessories such as ramps, steps, and handrails. This flexibility allows the flooring system to adapt to unique building layouts, specialized applications, and regional project requirements, ensuring both functional performance and aesthetic integration.
The installation process for OA500 steel raised access flooring includes several key steps:
Preparation of the subfloor to ensure a level and stable base
Installation of the adjustable pedestal system for proper height and support
Placement of the steel panels, interlocking them securely
Cutting panels to fit around obstacles or structural features
Installation of required accessories, such as ramps, steps, or handrails
Final inspection and testing to ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations
This systematic approach ensures safe, durable, and precise installation, suitable for commercial offices, data centers, control rooms, and technical facilities.
