The Eurodek Fortress range consists of gravity loose lay panels, encapsulated in corrosion resistant galvanised steel, with a high density chipboard core, ideally suited to a wide range of applications, where strength and long life are the primary concerns.
Mechanical stitching within the unique lid to tray locking system gives strength and integrity to the panels design. The panels have a galvanised steel bottom tray with an out turned profile. The steel lid is then rolled around the lower profile creating a locked, double layer of steel. Eurodek Fortress Lock screwdown panels are also available, providing extra security where required and greater integrity for high voids. All panels are supplied bare to accept an appropriate loose lay finish. The unique design of Fortress means that the panels achieve a variety of classifications. The Fortress panel meets BSEN 12825 Classes 5A3, 3A3 and 2A3 when used with the Eurodek HD and XD range of pedestals and PSA MOB PF2 PS/SPU medium grade. The chipboard sourced for the Fortress range of panels has FSC Chain of Custody certification.

The Knauf Integral GIFAfloor system is a partial-access floor system using natural gypsum based (calcium sulphate) tongue & groove panel installed on a conventional 600mm grid access floor under structure. Once installed, the floor is flat and smooth and joints will not track through the applied finish, and access can be incorporated with conventional access floor panels or access frames.
Manufactured from highly compressed calcium sulphate, this panel is of a homogenous monolithic material ideal for applications where acoustic properties and durability are paramount. GIFAfloor is also the ideal replacement for floor screed particularly in multi-storey projects where cost and time savings are essential. Knauf Integral GIFAfloor F181 single layer is Ideal for raised floor areas requiring continuous finishes such as sheet vinyl, rubber or linoleum. For hard finishes such as stone and ceramic, F182 double-layer or F183 triple-layer GIFAfloor provide superb stability.

FIRE BARRIER
Eurodek Under Floor Fire Barrier is a high density mineral wool and foil faced fire, smoke and acoustic barrier for raised access floor voids.
Supplied both cut to size or in slab form, the fire barrier is suitable for voids between 15mm and 1000mm and can provide up to 120 minutes fire resistance, preventing the passage of flame and smoke through the void. Eurodeks Fire Barrier also has acoustic properties to reduce flanking transmission of sound through the void by at least 9dB. Where the barrier is installed beneath a partition line into an imperforate timber based access floor system of at least 30mm thickness, with floor covering over, the room to room sound reduction on the path of the fire barrier will be at least 45dB.

Performance advantages
1. Subdivision of large uninterrupted cavities. i) To comply with Building Regulations 30 minutes integrity plus 15 minutes insulation. ii) To comply with LPC Design Guides 30 minutes integrity plus 30 minutes insulation. 2. Alignment under a partition, to maintain partition rating. i) 30 minute partition 30 minutes integrity plus 30 minutes insulation. ii) 60 minute partition 60 minutes integrity plus 60 minutes insulation. iii) 120 minute partition 120 minutes integrity plus 120 minutes insulation.

CUTTING OUT THE JARGON

In the UK and Europe the recognised marks of quality and performance standards are indicated by BSEN and PSA certifications. BSEN Specification
This specification is now recognised as a British Standard BSEN 12825, approved by CEN as a voluntary specification for private projects and mandatory public projects. BSEN specification classifies Raised Access Floors based on the load at which failure occurs, referred to as the ultimate load. This classification is also based on a chosen safety factor and deflection under working load. For example a class 3A3 panel means 3 = Ultimate Load the point at which the system would collapse A = Deflection Class 3 = Safety Factor BSEN classification is based upon the panels actual structural performance and not against pre-set criteria as per the PSA specification.

PSA Specification
The PSA specification is a long established performance standard used by the Property Services Agency and now referred to as MOB PF2 PS/SPU outlining grades of raised access floor, light, medium and heavy. The PSA specification outlines a method of test for structural performance. This ensures compliance and provides guidance as to the working areas where each floor grade may be used. Point Load and Uniformly Distributed Load are used here.
