Choosing a technical porcelain stoneware floor offers technical and operational benefits that revolutionize space management:

• Immediate inspection: the removal of individual modules allows access to the system networks at any time without construction work;
• Layout flexibility: dry operation greatly simplifies the redistribution of spaces, proving to be one of the major advantages of raised floors during complex redevelopment projects;
• Acoustic comfort: the high mass and density of the ceramic material dampens vibrations, reducing the noise of footsteps and systems;
• Optimized management: entrusting the design and installation of raised floors to a single general contractor eliminates buck-passing, providing the client with a turnkey floating floor within a defined timeframe.

Absolutely. Micrometric calibration of the support heads allows for level adjustments. This versatility of stoneware floating floors allows designers to absorb existing slopes in existing floors, making it easy to install a raised floor with low levels even in complex structural situations.

Yes, installation in environments with a high risk of spills presents no problem for a porcelain stoneware raised floor . The sintered substrate is completely non-absorbent. For installation in bathrooms or industrial kitchens, we recommend the sealed-joint floating floor version : the intersecting joints are filled with waterproof silicone grout, blocking leaks at the root.

Certainly, modular panel radiant systems are foreseen, which are placed under the surface layer of the heated floating floor , to form a second plenum in which the low-temperature radiant system is set up.

Floating floors can be installed up to 1.5 m high, using accessories to stabilize the system.

Absolutely. Raised floors for renovations allow for work on existing floors, thanks to their easy installation without mortar or adhesives, reducing the impact of the renovation on existing spaces. This versatility allows designers to:

• install a raised floor with low levels , resolving the structural constraints of the old attics;
• preserve the historic flooring with a technical flooring , laying the new modules directly on the quality surfaces without scratching them;
• exploit a low-thickness raised floor to conceal modern distribution networks while complying with the Superintendencies’ constraints.

The raised floor in porcelain stoneware is classified according to the UNI 13501-1 and 13501-2 standards, and the Bfl-S1 and REI 30 classifications can be obtained respectively.

Aside from a regular annual inspection, which monitors only for dust accumulation or the emergence of problems with the screed, the floor requires no special maintenance. This radical lack of special interventions significantly reduces the cost of the technical flooring in the long run.

Read More: What type of maintenance is required for a raised floor?

All networks can be easily routed within the cavity created by the supports: structured data cables, fire protection, electrical panels, or plumbing. Choosing a raised technical floor allows for the quick removal of each panel using special professional suction cups. This feature makes the space accessible for inspection at any time, preserving the stability of the raised technical floor and allowing for layout updates without the need for construction or demolition.

Read More: How does the raised floor integrate with the systems?

Yes, breaking down the aesthetic boundaries of the building envelope is one of the unique benefits of structural ceramics. The outdoor raised floors we provide are resistant to rot and freeze-thaw cycles, preserving their original structure. This feature allows architects and designers to extend the finishes of indoor raised floors to outdoor spaces such as terraces or rooftops, maintaining a rigorous material and functional alignment.

No, the perception that ceramic is inferior in acoustics is a false myth debunked by technical data. Evaluating the impact noise of raised floors with stoneware supports , the sound insulation values ​​are aligned with those of sulphate systems. The high mass and density of the sintered support (approximately 2,200 kg/m³) effectively dampen vibrations. The numbers confirm the parity of performance, ensuring high acoustic comfort even for technical floors in executive offices or open-plan spaces.

Read More: Is a raised floor with stoneware supports noisier when walked on than one with chipboard or calcium sulphate supports?

Yes, there are supporting structures that are suitable for raised floors to be installed in seismic areas.

All types of systems required (electrical, data, fire, hydraulic) can be installed inside the gap created above the floor. The modularity of the floor allows it to be inspected at any time and maintenance can be performed with no building works.

Besides a regular inspection on an annual basis, which only monitors the possible accumulation of dust or the onset of problems in the screed, the floor does not require special attention.

Read More: What kind of maintenance is required for the raised floor?

The raised floor is classified according to standard UNI 13501-1 and 13501-2, and classifications obtained are Bfl-S1 and REI 30.

Read More: What kind of fire behaviour does the raised floor have?

Certainly.
The raised system allows you to operate on existing flooring, thanks to the simple installation without mortar and adhesives, allowing you to reduce the restructuring impact on existing areas.

There are specific flooring systems that allow vehicles to transit, thanks to reinforced structures.

Read More: Is the raised floor walkable?

Floorings can be installed up to 2 metres in height, using accessories to stabilise the system.

Read More: Up to what height can a raised floor be?

Certainly.
There are radiant systems with modular panels, which are placed under the surface layer, to constitute a second plenum where the low temperature radiant system is set.

It is possible to install the raised floor even in environments where the probability of falling liquids is greater, such as bathrooms and kitchens. In this case, the “sealed” joint version must be used, in which the joints between the panels are grouted with silicone fillers.

These are “normal” applications in most cases, since furniture and partitions are almost always expected. When faced with particularly demanding requirements, it is possible to reinforce both the panels and the structure to fulfil such specific cases.

Inclined surfaces are possible by using specific supports and any accessories to stabilise the structure.
This is applicable to obtain inclined surfaces on flat screeds, and vice versa.
