In the installation of an Ztfloor access floor, there are certain criteria that should be followed. These are listed in the general order of sequenceRequirements for the ground
1. The panels should be laid after the interior decoration finishes.
2. The ground should be flat, clean and dry.
3. Cables, electric lines, water pipes, air pipes and air condition system which are placed under the floor should be prior to the installation of the panels.
4. The height of the base for huge and heavy equipment should remain the same with that of the panel surface after its installation.
5. Electric power(220v/50HZ) and water supply should be provided on site.
Tools for installation (www.ztfloor.com)
1. professional cutting saw
2. laser leveling apparatus and net laser
scanner
3. bubble leveling apparatus, band tape and
ink recorder.
4. panel-lifter, spanner and screw-drivers
5. dust cleaner, broom and cloth
Installation Step: (www.ztfloor.com)
STEP 1. Check the room dimensions and configuration
against approved drawings. Using a builder's transit or laser,
shoot in the areas to receive access floor to determine how
much variation there is in the level of the subfloor within
the room and at the termination points, such as elevator and
door sills and concrete ledges. If the floor cannot be installedyoure
your drawings, notify the general contractor superintendent
for agreement on corrective action.The FFH may have to be
changed.
STEP 2. First mark the installation height
of the panel on the wall to ensure the flatness of the panels.
Then measure the length and width of the ground and find the
basic position of installation. And then form a square lattice
with pedestals and the conjuncture of the square lattice is
the position of the pedestal base. The cutting of the panels
should be minimized to ensure the wonderful appearance after
installation. Recommended minimum size of the cut panels for
proper support is 6 inches wide.
STEP 3. Put the pedestals and stringers in
the conjunctures of the square lattice, and adjust the height
of the pedestals, finally set the panel in the lattice formed
by the pedestals and stringers.
STEP 4. If the remaining size close to the
wall is smaller than the size of a panel, cutting becomes
necessary. The cut edge must be smoothed in case workers get
hurt while dealing with it.
STEP 5. While laying the panel, bubble leveling
apparatus can be used to make sure of the surface flatness.
The height of the panels can be adjusted through pedestal
adjustment. While laying the panel, it should be handled with
care to avoid the damage of the panels or rubber edges. Meanwhile,
cleaning should be conducted while laying in case the dust
and odds should be left under the panels.
STEP 6. If a panel rocks diagonally when
placed in the system, turn it one quarter (90) turn and check
it again. If the panel continues to rock when rotated, some
debris may be between the panel bottom and the pedestal head
or stringer. Also check to make sure pedestal is not tilted,
stringers are properly seated and that panel edges are flush.
If the panel still (www.ztfloor.com)
rocks, set it aside to be used as perimeter cut panel. The
pedestals should not be adjusted unless three or four panels
supported on it are rocking. At this point, make a minor elevation
adjustment to the pedestal. When installing carpeted panels,
the carpet grain direction must be controlled. Each panel
has an arrow on the bottom indicating proper carpet grain.
All panels must be installed with the grain in the same direction.
Therefore, they cannot be turned to adjust for rockers. The
panel can be bumped or the pedestal assemblies adjusted.It
may require two or three pedestals in a row to be adjusted.
STEP 7. If heavy equipment are to put, the
panels used for bearing the heavy equipment should be strengthened
with dense pedestals. If rolling materials, equipment or gang
boxes across installed A/F, then 1/4-inch tempered masonite
or 1/2-inch plywood should be used as pathways to avoid any
damage to the top surface of the access floor panels.
STEP 8. While cutting HPL, 6-8 anti-crack
holes should be made at its concave opening to prevent the
crack of HPL.
Inspection standard for the panel laying (www.ztfloor.com)
1. The ground under the
raised panels and the surface of the panels should be clean
and dust-free.
2. Panel surface should
have no scratches, no coating drop-out and no damage of the
rubber edges.
3. The panels, after being
finished, should be stable and firm. People walking on them
should not feel shaking and no unpleasant noise between the
rub of the edges can be heard.
4. The edges of the panels
should be in the same level and the height between two adjacent
panels should be less than 1mm, 2.5mm in an length of 6 metres
and 5mm in the whole.
5. Panels should be naturally
and closely jointed with a space of less than 1mm between
two adjacent panels.
