Raised Floor Manufacturer
Daltecnic produces panels for raised floors in several variants.The panels differ in the thickness of the metal and wood (FSC) used, as well as in the density of the latter. The panels are fabricated using hot-galvanized steel with a thickness of 0.5 mm or 0.4 mm, depending on the type of panel.
The wood used in producing the panels is HDF.
The panels are supplied minus floor finish. The end customer chooses their own finish to have fitted, most often carpet tiles or synthetic ‘linoleum’-type flooring, which make it easier to access one or more panels to be removed for access to the technical void at the desired spot.
Our panels are of the “tray panel” type, i.e. the panels are completely clad with galvanized steel on all 6 sides. They are intended for fitting on “pedestals” – 90 mm passivated steel legs with M 16 or M 20 diameter threaded adjuster (as per EN and DIN standards), as per the project specification requirements.
The ultimate aim of the system is to allow access at any time to the technical void created below the panels*, lifting them using a suction-lifter on the top surface of the panel.
In this way, it is possible to gain access at will to electrical, data, and telecoms services, etc. in the event of modifications.
* electrical, ICT, telephone cables, HVAC and airco systems, etc.
Manufacturing processThe manufacturing process is automated but allows great reliability in terms of quality control.
The manufacturing process goes like this:• Quality control of raw materials• Unrolling and straightening the sheet steel• Pressing out the upper and lower steel sections on two 1600 kN mechanical press lines.• Machining the wood to the required dimensions• Laminating the wood using high-adhesion adhesive• Assembling the various wood and steel components together• Encapsulating and pressing the wood panel within the steel casing at 1000 kN• Visual quality control of each panel (as per EN 12825 standard)Samples of the panels being manufactured are taken three times a day to verify the dimensions, parallelism, squares, lamination. All the components of the panels are covered by traceability.
Installation processSee how Daltecnic raised floors are installed in these photos:• applying an anti-dust covering to
the structural floor• laying out and marking the
positioning on the floor• bonding the pedestals to the
sub-floor • adjustment and fitting the panels
If you are a construction technician, contractor, electrician, wiring engineer, or partition / ceiling fitter, you can include raised floors as part of the services you offer.
This will enable you to complement your existing services with a modern, effective solution that’s easy to implement with no special tools or equipment, and with a very short training time.
With DALTECNIC steel-finished panels (compared to other panels on the market with greater thickness) you’ll be working with a stable material. All panels are guaranteed identical and allow easy, fast fitting.
Type LD panel: DAL LD WD 600/4/4/29 Thickness: 29 mm Format: 60 × 60 cm, i.e. 0.36 m²A lightweight panel with excellent mechanical properties. The panel comprises a steel base and cover that are sandwiched together with a very sturdy wood panel. The panel meets current compliance standards.
Type ND panel: DAL ND WD 600/5/5/31 Thickness: 31 mm Format: 60 × 60 cm, i.e. 0.36 m²The configuration of this panel is identical to the previous model: a central wood panel sandwiched between two steel sheets. This panel is produced using a greater thickness of wood and steel than the type 1 panel. This panel is indicated for enhanced acoustic isolation and greater load-carrying capacity.
SIMPLO 29 / 29v panel enclosed on 5 sidesThickness: 29 mm Format: 60 × 60 cm, i.e. 0.36 m²A lightweight panel with excellent mechanical properties. This panel is produced in the same way as the LD panel. The panel comprises a 0.4 mm thick galvanized steel tray. The panel meets current compliance standards. This panel can be covered with many types of floor covering. The SIMPLO 29v version includes a coat of varnish.
The advantages of our productsWhat are the advantages of DALTECNIC raised floors?
• They allow technical services (wiring, etc.) to be fitted productively during building work.• They allow easy access to these technical services when required for checking, repair, or maintenance.• The fitting time is very short and the floor can be walked on only the day after fitting.• The raised floor forms a thermal and acoustic insulator.• This type of floor makes it possible to fit the panels with electrical, telecom and data, HVAC or airco outlets flush with the floor,
which it will be possible to reposition at will.• Raised floors are able to support the weight of the heaviest equipment found in office areas.• Raised floors can be fitted at varying heights to suit minimum technical constraints (requirement for a minimal technical void in
cases where little height is available) and technical height constraints with a raised floor up to more than a meter in height (if there is a need for a very high technical void or if a requirement to very significantly raise a floor that is too low)
• Raised floors can be fitted to base floors of differing heights, resulting in a new flat floor.
What are the advantages of DALTECNIC panels?• DALTECNIC panels are steel-clad, creating solidity, strength, and stability.• DALTECNIC panels, through their materials configuration, are the most sturdy and least thick panels on the market.• The thickness of DALTECNIC panels makes it possible to produce floors with heights of 5 cm (finished height), thus with a
minimized technical void down to only 2 cm.• DALTECNIC steel-finished panels run no risk of post-fitting damage by traffic and the fitting of infrastructures and tools used by
other trades on the building site.
Here’s what architects who have specified DALTECNIC panels have to say:
Raised floors using DALTECNIC panels are an ideal solution for floors in office suites or technical areas (audiovisual control rooms, computer rooms, etc.) as this allows:• contractors
to fit the floor as soon as the building is weather-tight, to facilitate the fitting of all the technical services that it is advantageous to run under the floor.• owners and developersto offer buyers or tenants a property fitted out in a technologically modern, practical way, to have a floor which can be customized at will in terms of partitioning and decoration.• occupants and technicians doing work for them to be able to access the various technical services fitted in the technical void beneath the raised floor without disruption and with increased efficiency.
DALTECNIC panels meet all standards in terms of safety, solidity, and acoustics.
Using DALTECNIC panels, we can give free rein to our creativity in customizing the floor in terms of decoration.
Raised floors using DALTECNIC panels mean we can produce office suites that are the most productive in terms of construction, but also the most advanced in terms of ease of maintenance, without overlooking the appearance and convenience aspect.
Floors produced using DALTECNIC panels allow us to adapt areas in terms of partitioning in a very flexible way by running technical services under the floor, where the tenant or purchaser client wants them.
DALTECNIC raised floors undoubtedly constitute a modern, practical, high-performance solution that will optimize the investment/competitive benefits ratio of our project. Raised floors are an oriented solution capable of adaptation to all future tenants’ or purchasers’ configurations.
A team of 3 people can fit 400 panels/day, i.e. 130 m².
