EXADECK | Outdoor raised access floor
WHAT IS RAISED ACCESS FLOOR?
EXADECK is a raised access floor system composed of ceramic slats. Its exclusive assembly system allows for quick and easy installation, resulting in a porcelain tile deck that is easy to install, without the need for specific tools.
One of its main features is the accessible system supported on battens, which allows for easy and convenient distribution of installations and wiring underneath.
EXADECK also offers the advantages of a floating fixing system, allowing the individual opening of all slats, which facilitates access to the lower area in case of need.
The EXADECK accessible raised flooring system is presented as an innovative solution of great interest to architects and specifiers, due to its technical qualities and the elegance of its design.
Among its most outstanding technical characteristics are anti-slip properties, even on wet floors, mechanical resistance and abrasion resistance.
With the natural look of wood, but without the constant and costly maintenance of wood, EXADECK access flooring is launched with a contemporary design in the wood-inspired Yoho series in six shades: Maple, Oak, Teca, Antico, Natural and Grey. These modern styles adapt perfectly to any space, combining aesthetics, strength and durability with ease of installation and low maintenance.

PROJECTS
Raised access flooring has become a popular and versatile solution in architecture and design projects, providing both functionality and aesthetics. This type of flooring allows the creation of durable and attractive outdoor spaces, facilitating installation and maintenance. Here are some projects that have used our EXADECK raised access flooring collections, demonstrating their adaptability and benefits in different contexts. EXADECKdemonstrating its adaptability and benefits in various contexts.
GUIDE FOR INSTALLING RAISED TECHNICAL FLOORING
Aluminium battens should always be supported on a solid surface along their entire length, except in the case of raised constructions where the special PRO aluminium battens should be used. They should be laid in such a way that there is no build-up of water and it can drain away.
The Exadeck range is designed solely for areas with pedestrian traffic.
It is recommended to install the PRO clips manually using a TORX T20 screwdriver, avoiding the use of electrical machinery. For installation requirements not contemplated in this manual, please contact Exagres for relevant guidelines.
For any installation requirements not covered in this document, please contact EXAGRES for further instructions.

COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Exadeck understands sustainability as a key and essential factor within its production philosophy, as it uses natural raw materials and the waste generated in the different phases of the process is reused again, minimising the consumption of natural resources as well as the pollution generated in its production, distribution and transformation for use.
On the other hand, from the design phase, waste is eliminated and pollution is reduced, as Exadeck is a ceramic system designed to be disassembled in order to facilitate the separation of its components at the end of its life. In addition, as part of Exagres' faithful commitment to the environment, we offer ourselves as a collection point for Exadeck ceramic pieces and thus take charge of giving them a new life.

ARE RAISED FLOORS SUITABLE FOR SUPPORTING VEHICLES?
Depending on the type of raised access floor and the configuration of the supporting structure, it is possible to design solutions that support the weight of light vehicles. However, a prior study is essential to ensure the feasibility of the project.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT AT WHICH A RAISED ACCESS FLOOR CAN BE INSTALLED?
The maximum height will depend on the support system used. In general, raised access floors can be installed at variable heights, adapting to the specific needs of the project, from a few centimetres to several metres.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO HEAT A RAISED ACCESS FLOOR?
Yes, it is possible to integrate heating systems in raised access floors. This is achieved by installing radiant heating systems under the flooring, providing an efficient and uniform heat source.
CAN RAISED ACCESS FLOORS BE USED IN INDOOR AREAS?
Definitely. Raised access floors are suitable for indoor use, especially in offices, data centres and commercial areas where it is necessary to conceal technical installations under the floor.
HOW DOES THE RAISED ACCESS FLOOR SUPPORT HEAVY LOADS WITH FURNITURE?
Raised access floors are designed to support heavy loads. Using robust battens and supports, they can handle the weight of furniture, equipment and other items without compromising the stability of the floor.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE SLOPING SURFACES WITH RAISED ACCESS FLOORS?
Yes, it is possible to create sloping surfaces using raised access floors. This is achieved by adjusting the levels of the supports and battens to achieve the desired slope.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO PLACE MOVABLE WALLS ON RAISED ACCESS FLOORS?
Yes, raised access floors allow for the installation of movable walls. This flexibility is ideal for spaces that require variable configurations, such as offices and conference rooms, making it easy to rearrange the space as needed.
