Nowadays, office buildings and manufac-turing plants are subject to permanent re-organization and frequent change of use. The development of communication tech-nology is subject to rapid progress, orga-nizational structures are changing conti-nuously. Even lighting and air conditioning systems are becoming more and more ex-tensive.Therefore, existing service lines often have to be replaced or supplemented and new utilities are added. The planning of buildings must allow quick, easy and cost- saving adaption to arising needs.

MERO-TSK develops, manufactures and tests system floors. Furthermore, we plan, project, and install our floor systems.

Access floor systems are the most flexible of all floor systems. A MERO access floor offers an installation plenum of 95%.

The advantages of the MERO

access floor at a glance:

• access to the installation space any-whereandanytime,withoutnoiseanddust and without disturbance of theworkingprocess

• sufficientspaceforretrofitting• installation of all kind of outlets, e.g.

retrofitting of additional power supplyunitsispossible

• panelswithmountingunitscanbere-located and reinstalled at any otherplaceallowingeasyadaptiontorecon-figurations

• dryconstructionforimmediateuseaf-terinstallation

• suitableevenwithlowceilingheights,e.g.intherenovationofoldbuilding.

• controlledandconsistentquality• all floors are tested according to DIN

Access floor renovation

For themaintenanceof valueofanaccessfloor system, the right care and mainte-nance is crucial. The condition of the floorcovering affects not only the appearancebutalsothefunctionalcapability.Insteadofchangingpanelswithwornoroutdatedfloorcoverings, we recommend to renovate theaccess floor.

The smooth base layer of the MERO hollow floor is mounted on the pedestals so that the systems and service lines installed on the raw concrete slab can be overbuilt. Removable panel rows or inspection ope-nings allow access to the cavity under the floor for new and later installation of sup-ply lines.

In the era of energy efficiency and energy saving MERO-TSK has extended the proven floor systems with the components heating and cooling. In cooperation with the market leader for surface heating / cooling, Uponor, EnEV-compatible complete systems were developed. These systems are tested by in-dependent institutes and confirmed by DIN CERTCO with the certificate „DIN geprüft“ (DIN-tested).

Advantages of the MERO

floor heating/-cooling

• planningreliability• bestquality,allcomponentsaretested• EnEV-compatible• preventionofcoordinationproblems

Construction principle

TheMEROThermo substructure consists ofheight adjustable steel pedestals which areinstalled in the grid of 600 x 600 mm andgluedtothesubfloor.TheMEROHollowFloorCombiTThermohasbeendevelopedespe-cially for the use of heating/cooling in dryconstruction floor systems while the MEROCombi A Thermo allows to install the usualheatingandcoolingpipesinthewetfloatingscreedatanytime.
