Stability under loadThe strong access floor of steel

In addition to high strength and fracture resistance of access floors, extremely robust material properties are required in production areas, clean rooms, data centers or measuring rooms.At the same time there are high demands for flexibility to meet the requirements of new technologies or the reconfiguration of rooms. Furthermore, it is necessary to accommodate different service lines da-mage-free and to adapt them to any mo-dification without great effort. The steel access floor of MERO-TSK has proven itself in many fields. The floor panels can be combined with a variety of different floor coverings.
