In shops and other developments that use physical spaces, it is increasingly important to have a flexible structure.

The porcelain stoneware raised flooring system is made up of movable slabs supported by a structure that can be adjusted in height, according to the needs of each building. By creating a free space between the slab and finished floor, this resolves common problems in buildings like the laying of hydraulic piping, air conditioning, electric and network wiring as well as other uses.
The raised flooring with finishing in porcelain stoneware is secured directly to the slab or underfloor, using supports for raising, like steel or thermal plastics (polypropylene) that are the most commonly found on the market.
Raised flooring for outside in porcelain stoneware: the main advantages.
The use of porcelain stoneware raised flooring – of flooring that is higher than the base of the slab or underfloor – offers a number of advantages, both when planning the building work and in the use of space. Here are some of the main ones:

And, once everything is in place, you then have to wait for it to dry and then go ahead with the cleaning. This drastically increases the time needed to complete the installation process, never mind an restoration work.

Any kind of wiring and/or equipment can be installed under the slabs, without involving painstaking work each time you have to re-connect something or insert new equipment.
