To maximize your investment in your Raised Floor, regular maintenance is a must. All raised floors require preventative maintenance to insure safe operating conditions for equipment and personnel. Listed below are the requirements for proper raised access floor maintenance and care:
Structural Maintenance:
- Have floor inspected yearly by a qualified Raised Floor Technician.
- Rotate panels at least twice a year between high and low traffic areas.
- Adjust floor understucture once a year to correct structural problems and maintain manufactures specifications.
- Replace any missing components as needed, such as edge trim, grounding clips, stringers, and pedestal and stringer gaskets.
- Replace delaminated and warped panels immediately.
Cleaning and Care:
- Dust mop or vacuum floor daily.
- Damp-mop with warm water and mild multipurpose ammoniated floor cleaner. DO NOT use strong solvents, abrasives or scrapers to remove stains.
- Have surface professionally cleaned by professional raised floor maintenance company once a year.
- Vacuum understructure and sub floor at least once a year.
- Clean air flow and perforated panels twice a year.
- DO NOT use wax seal on laminate surface.
- DO NOT Flood with liquid, or use anything other than a damp mop. Large amounts of water can weaken adhesive and cause de-lamination.
- Vacuum carpet panels twice a week with a vacuum equipped with a static dissipating rod.
- Clean carpet panels with dry foam or dry powders at least twice yearly by extraction.
- Install mats or runners in high traffic areas to prevent dirt and debris from entering the access floor environment.
