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!

Enviromental The high density particleboard in our panels incorporates a high percentage of recycled material. When combined with a proportion of recycled steel, this helps achieve our objective of using natural resources within sustainable limits. The unique design of our floor panels minimises leakage and reduces heat loss when the floor void is used as an air plenum; making Permaflor the ideal choice for low energy buildings. All our particle board is sourced from managed and sustainable sources and Permaflor is very environmentally responsible.
