SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

System performance criteria are the most important to consider because they represent the performance in a typical installation. Panel only criteria such as concentrated load is often used to specify floor systems however, the test is not representative of an actual installation because it is performed with the panel testing blocks, not actual understructure.

System Performance Criteria
System Type		Static Loads			Rolling Loads
Panel	Panel Size	Concentrated Load	Safety Factor (min.2.0)	Ultimate load	10 Passes	10,000 Passes
PEC1000	600x600x30mm	454kg/1000lbs	Pass	909kg/2000lbs	368kg 800lbs	318kg 700lbs
PEC1250	600x600x34mm	568kg/1250lbs	Pass	1136kg/2500lbs	454kg 1000lbs	368kg 800lbs
PEC1500	600x600x36mm	681kg/1500lbs	Pass	1363kg/3000lbs	568kg 1250lbs	454kg 1000lbs

*A tests are performed using CISCA's Recommend Test Procedures for Access Floors with the exception of Design Load

1. Design load is tested using CISCA Concentrated Load test method on actual understructure instead of steel blocks. Design load is determined by taking the lesser value of ultimate load divided by two or the point at which permanent damage begins to occur (yield point).
2. Safety factor is the multiple of Design load to the Ultimate Load. International standards and Dawn Modular Floor recommend' a minium of 2.

INSTALLATION

The finished access floor wil be rigid, free from vibration and rocking panels within a 3mm level over the entire space. Panels will be accurately cut to fit around all permanent features. All whole panels will be completely interchangeable allowing for any future changes. The access foor will maintain these origina conditions when sufficient panels have been removed for normal underfloor access.

FAQ

Q What makes anti-static calcium sulfate raised access flooring an ideal choice for data centers?

A

Anti-static calcium sulfate raised access flooring is engineered to deliver reliable ESD protection, a critical requirement for data centers and environments with sensitive electronic equipment. The high-density calcium sulfate core offers excellent structural stability, load-bearing strength, and long-term durability, making it suitable for supporting heavy IT racks and high-performance computing systems.

The anti-static surface layer prevents static electricity buildup, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge that can disrupt or damage servers, switches, and other hardware. Additionally, its modular raised-floor design provides efficient underfloor cable routing, airflow management, and quick access for maintenance, all of which are essential for maintaining optimal data center performance and uptime.

This combination of ESD protection, strong load capacity, thermal stability, and service accessibility makes anti-static calcium sulfate raised access flooring a highly dependable solution for modern data centers.

How does the anti-static feature of calcium sulfate raised access flooring work?

The anti-static performance of calcium sulfate raised access flooring is achieved through conductive materials and specialized surface treatments designed to safely dissipate static electricity. The high-density calcium sulfate core is paired with an anti-static top layer—such as HPL, PVC, or ceramic—with built-in conductive or static-dissipative properties.

When static charges are generated through movement, equipment operation, or environmental factors, the flooring’s conductive pathways transfer the charge away from users and equipment, directing it safely to ground. This prevents harmful electrostatic discharge (ESD) that could disrupt or damage sensitive electronic components, making the system ideal for data centers, laboratories, control rooms, and other ESD-critical environments.
Is calcium sulfate an eco-friendly material for raised access flooring?

Yes, calcium sulfate is considered an eco-friendly and sustainable material for raised access flooring. Derived from natural mineral sources and often produced with recycled content, it has a low environmental impact compared to many synthetic alternatives. Its long service life, recyclability, and excellent indoor air quality performance make it a strong choice for projects focused on sustainability. Using calcium sulfate flooring supports green building initiatives and aligns well with modern workspace environmental standards.
How does calcium sulfate raised access flooring enhance fire resistance and sound insulation?

Calcium sulfate raised access flooring delivers strong fire resistance and sound insulation thanks to the natural properties of its high-density core. The material is inherently non-combustible, helping slow flame spread and improving building safety in the event of a fire. At the same time, its dense composition provides effective acoustic performance by reducing impact noise and airborne sound transmission. This combination creates a safer, quieter, and more comfortable working environment, making it ideal for offices, data centers, and commercial buildings.
Can the modular design of anti-static calcium sulfate raised access flooring be easily reconfigured to adapt to changing needs?

Yes. The modular design of anti-static calcium sulfate raised access flooring allows for quick, clean, and highly flexible reconfiguration. Each panel can be easily removed, replaced, or rearranged without disrupting surrounding areas, making it ideal for environments where technology, equipment layout, or cabling infrastructure frequently changes.

This adaptability ensures the flooring system can seamlessly support evolving data center needs, IT upgrades, workspace expansions, and future-proof infrastructure planning. Its modular construction also reduces downtime and installation labor, providing long-term operational efficiency for tech-driven facilities.
