Practical Solution your requirement.

Underfloor HVAC, using the floorspace as an air plenum,

offers greater energy efficiency than traditional methods,
providing greater control, improved air quality and a more
comfortable working environment. It delivers substantial
reductions in energy, heating and cooling costs, plus
conclusive evidence to support improvements in staff
morale, productivity and reduced absenteeism.

Raised access floors are considerably more practical than

traditional cable management systems for routing power,
data and communications cables. Modifications to work
areas and desk layouts can be easily facilitated, simply
by lifting a few panels and redirecting the services, at a
fraction of the cost and disruption!

option of a bonded surface finishes.

BG Range (Fully Encapsulated) BE Range

The fully steel-encased Permaflor BG panel combines strength and durability with ease
of installation, reliable performance and proven low maintenance. Permaflor BG is an
exceptionally rigid panel, with the option of gravity-laid or screw-down fixing; both make
a suitable substrate for most modular floor coverings. The high-density particleboard
core is encased in a galvanised steel jacket, then roll-pressed to a unique profile that
makes installation or removal easier and protects edges against damage.
The Permaflor BE panel uses an encapsulated construction of galvanised steel, bonded
to both surfaces. It features a protective ABS edge-band and is available with a bonded
vinyl surface finish. Permaflor BE offers improved handling and manoeuvrability throughout
installation, yet retains the strength and robustness of traditional steel encased panels.
The full-depth edge-banding provides improved tightness of fit between adjoining panels,
giving a firm air tight seal for an air plenum.

As well as non-standard sizes, a wide range of factory-bonded surface finishes can be

applied to the BE range, including carpet, timber and ceramics.

Permaflor OG
The unencapsulated Permaflor BPB range provides a budget flooring solution, but still
fully conforms to BSEN specifications. The Permaflor BPB high density particleboard has
excellent dimensional accuracy which forms good base for loose-laid carpet tiles.
