How does encapsulated calcium sulphate raised access floor define a highly reliable data center flooring system with natural materials and a full steel cladding?
Publish Time: 2025-11-20
In modern intelligent buildings, data centers, command and control centers, and high-end office spaces, the floor is no longer simply a load-bearing structure, but a core infrastructure integrating cable management, electrostatic protection, modular deployment, and long-term durability. The newly launched encapsulated calcium sulphate raised access floor uses 100% natural gypsum powder as its core material and is covered with high-strength galvanized steel sheets. It cleverly combines the stability of natural materials with the protective power of industrial metal, constructing a quiet, clean, and highly flexible underlying ecosystem beneath the unseen floor.
The core advantage of this product stems first from its respect for and innovative application of the essence of raw materials. The core is made of pure natural gypsum powder through high-pressure molding and heat treatment processes, without the addition of chemical adhesives, eliminating the release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and VOCs from the source, giving the flooring excellent environmental properties and ensuring indoor air quality. Gypsum itself possesses excellent flame retardancy and thermal stability, remaining undecomposed and non-combustible at high temperatures, providing a passive fire barrier for critical facilities. Simultaneously, its dense and uniform internal structure endows the panel with outstanding bending strength and dimensional stability, maintaining its flatness even under long-term heavy loads or fluctuating temperature and humidity, avoiding the bulging and warping problems common in traditional composite flooring.
The all-steel cladding design provides a robust armor for this natural core. Both the upper and lower surfaces are entirely wrapped with high-grade galvanized steel sheets, forming a continuous, closed metal shell. This significantly enhances overall rigidity and impact resistance, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture, oil, and corrosive media, ensuring long-term service without failure in humid server rooms, underground spaces, or industrial environments. The steel sheet surface undergoes special passivation and coating treatment, possessing excellent conductivity and seamlessly integrating with anti-static systems to meet the stringent electrostatic dissipation requirements of data centers. Precision edge bending and interlocking create a reinforcing rib structure on all four sides of the panel, further improving load-bearing uniformity and installation stability.
A systematic approach is adopted throughout the entire product lifecycle. Abeite raised flooring strictly adheres to international standards such as PSA MOB PS/SPU and DIN EN 12825, ensuring compatibility with mainstream global support systems, accessories, and construction specifications. Its modular 600×600mm form factor facilitates rapid installation and subsequent adjustments. Accessories such as cable trays, junction boxes, and vents can be flexibly integrated, achieving seamless integration for strong and weak current separation, hot and cold aisle optimization, and equipment expansion. The flooring can be reused after removal, reducing construction waste and aligning with green building and circular economy principles.
Applications cover professional fields with extremely high requirements for floor performance. In financial data centers, it supports dense server racks while ensuring the orderly passage of every fiber optic cable and power line; in medical imaging centers, its smooth and quiet surface supports stable operation of mobile devices, eliminating dust and noise; in airport terminals or rail transit control rooms, high reliability and long lifespan reduce maintenance frequency, ensuring 24/7 uninterrupted operation. Its understated and sophisticated appearance can also be paired with various surface layers—PVC, rubber, carpet, or anti-static laminate—to suit different spatial aesthetic needs.
Ultimately, the value of encapsulated calcium sulphate raised access floor lies not only in “raising the floor level”, but also in its ability to create a safe, flexible and sustainable infrastructure platform at the building’s base, using a natural core and a steel body. When massive amounts of data flow silently between server racks, and when emergency commands are precisely issued from control consoles, this silent floor provides solid support behind the scenes. In today's era of intelligent buildings moving towards high reliability, greenness, and modularity, this high-performance raised access floor continues to define new benchmarks for professional space floor solutions with its comprehensive advantages in environmental protection, strength, and system integration.
