Raised access floor systems are designed to enable the use of underfloor air distribution systems and under floor wiring systems that improve the flexibility, energy efficiency, and comfort of commercial buildings.
These systems:
- Deliver air from the floor at low pressure to utilize
natural convection and maximize energy efficiency. - Deliver air closer to the occupants so that warmer
temperatures can be used expanding economizer
opportunities. - Power, voice, data, and heating and cooling services
can all be reconfigured reusing the existing materials.
Check out our sections on underfloor systems for more information.
Meeting the market demands for green building construction with today’s tight budgets makes comparing the benefits of green solutions more important than ever. No building strategy incorporates more green building benefits than Tate’s underfloor service distribution.
This single strategy can increase day lighting, improve indoor air quality and promote the efficient use of energy and materials, making Tate the best solution on the market for achieving high- performance and sustainable, LEED™ certified buildings.
High recycled content and sustainable and recyclable surface finishes allow for both creative design options as well as responsible environmental planning. Using an access floor in an office environment allows for greater flexibility.
Raised access flooring adapts to high office churn rates by being modular and interchangeable. Using under floor air distribution in conjunction with an access floor allows for individual work space temperature control.
Under floor modular power and voice data cabling gives the office space flexibility to adapt to both changes in technology and workspace layout.
Tate Access Floors
All of Tate’s products are engineered and manufactured to exact tolerances in manufacturing facilities located in United States. The facilities are ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 quality and environmental management certified.
All Tate products go through rigorous independently certified testing in compliance with CISCA testing procedures. In addition, Tate performs all tests to international norms which require whole system tests using understructure rather than panel only tests.

Quiet & solid underfoot with a flex of only .025” under a 200lb load. Tate access floors have a room to room sound transmission of 53 NNIC.
Design Load:
All Tate Steel welded panels provide a minimum safety factor of 2. Design loads are equal to or above concentrated load ratings.
Overload Protection:
System yields gradually for built in safety – eliminates the risk of instantaneous catastrophic failures in the office environment.

Shock Resistance:
No damage occurs when dropped from waist height.
Cracking & Reuse:
Steel panels are free from unsightly cracks which improve the products life-cycle and reuse.
Ease of Cutting:
Steel panel filled with cement cut easily in the field without special blades or equipment.
Attaching Walls:
Screws and shot-pin can be driven directly into the panel without sacrificing it’s integrity or accessing the underfloor plenum.
Air Leakage:
Die cut edges reduce panel gaps (.015” +/- .005). Reduces air leakage and make it predictable for commissioning purposes, a requirement when identifying the tightness of an underfloor plenum. (See plenum integrity guides for more information).
Clean Air Plenum:
Painted steel panels with tight seams minimize dust and debris entering the air delivery plenum through panel gaps.
Plenum Divider:
Attaches to pedestals maintaining underfloor access. Adjustable to meet any width requirement.
