A raised floor is made up by several removable elements:
the outer panels for example. The firmness of the artifact
must be kept taking into account the following:
- Use of lifting-undercarriage to lift heavy weights with
the interposition of boards between the wheels of the
carriage and the panels.
-When several panels must be dismantled we have to
avoid the formation of ‘isles’ or long ‘canals’, taking away
only the slightest quantity of panelling necessary to reach
the point of intervention and doing everything step by
step.
- Attention must be paid to avoid the damaging of
gaskets, ledgers or supports.
- The removal or mounting of the panels must be done
with the correct tools. We must pay attention in particular
to the removal of panels gifted with accessories.
- When parts of panels must be dismantled we have to
later position them in their original location.
Keeping and cleaning
The cleaning is very important in the keeping
of the floor:
- Avoid the use of water or liquid detergents
directly on the floor
- Avoid alkaline detergents, soaps or solvents
- Avoid pumice, glas-paper, metallic or abrasive papers
-If you want to use wax, try it on a limited zone of the floor
before you proceed on the rest of it
-Remeber that synthetic wax is generally electricity-insulating
Pay attention to the use of water: it could penetrate and
damage electrical devices and other underlying plants.
It may also provoke the formation of mould that in time
may seriously damage the entire panel.
Substances like resin or wax are insulating and it is better
to avoid them.
There are specific cleaning products for every kind of
floor covering. The cleaning and keeping of the panel is
usually brought on by cleaning contractors, not by the
producing company.
