Raised floor system
moving ideas
NESITE is the pioneer company of the raised floor. It started the production of the raised floor in the early 70’s under the name of HIROSS. NESITE produces raised floors with all kinds of finishes. Natural stones, ceramic tiles, real wood, HPL, PVC and Linoleum. All the above finishes are supplied as a finish product from the factory in 60x60cm dimension. The bare panel products are supplied in 60x60cm with aluminium foil top and bottom. The most popular core materials are 38mm chipboard and 34mm calcium sulphate. On the bare panel we install locally carpet or PVC in dimension 50x50cm. With regard to the substructure we can use different substructures to suit the physical characteristics required. The minimum height of access floor is 10cm and the max 150cm. 7
luxury you can afford
Since 1987 Mirage has been supporting planners and contractors in making ventilated facades and raised floors with ceramic granite. Our long experience in the area is a unique advantage which we make available to our customers to plan new projects. Mirage ceramic granite is used extensively in office applications. On access floor the dimensions must be 600x600mm or 300x600mm or 300x300mm. There is a very large variety of colours and designs. 8
PVC tiles
Contract-SL is a self laying tile, which because of its special antislip backing guarantees a fast and easy installation. The antislip backing needs only spray adhesive for installation. Benefits are the low installation cost and the fact that tiles can be removed or replaced easily. Because of the size and high quality filmprint designs they combine perfectly with carpet tiles. The technical characteristics give Contract-SL high wear resistance, dimensional stability, fire resistance and slip resistance. The 0,7mm wear layer with PU-coating makes Contract-SL easy to clean and maintain. Contract SL self laying tiles are suitable for both new projects and renovations. The tiles can be installed directly on hard floorings, like vinyl floors, stone floors, concrete floors as well as raised floors. Consequently Contract SL is the perfect floor covering for all office areas.

Carpets
Flotex combines the most attractive features of both carpet and resilient floors, without any of the drawbacks. It has a smooth, velour surface that feels soft and velvety like carpet and is warm, comfortable, slip proof (even when wet) and has excellent sound deadening properties. Yet it also has the water and wear resistance of a resilient floor, can be cut by hand and is fully washable. Flotex is anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-static and does not harbour state odours. This helps maintain hygiene even in the high traffic areas where its very hardwearing qualities are required, such as schools, hotel foyers, hospitals, offices, public buildings and airports. Available in a wide range of colours and patterns in sheet and tile formats.

Partitions
flexibility in office space The M82 and M92 partition systems consist of several standard modules which can be combined to achieve different results. All metal parts are painted electrostatically at 200oc (picture 1) The M92 system has grooves at the panel connections (picture 2) whereas M82 has “T� profile (picture3). Both systems can have horizontal lines (pictures 4+5). The glass modules can be single/ double glazed on the M82, while the M92 models are always double glazed. Within the double glazing there is a 5cm gap where we can incorporate Venetian blinds.

MODO
Office systems SERIE IE IE is a geometry of the imagination. Designed around the concept of a postand-beam structure, ie provides an architectural framework that defines interior and exterior work areas and provides a platform for work surfaces, screens, storage, lighting and power/data delivery. IE permits not only the more conventional 90 and 120 degree planning, but planning around the post at every 15-degree interval. The post also allows for numerous angle connections - pods can extend from the post and connect to form clusters at any 15-degree angle. In effect, IE can wrap around columns, beams or other elements – almost anything becomes possible. 20
TEKNION T0S
The way ahead SERIE TOS T/O/S is a proven, performance-based panel system that set the benchmark for flexibility and efficiency in office furniture planning. Designed to keep pace with evolving work-place needs, T/O/S remains as versatile and valuable as ever – offering functional and aesthetic compatibility with past and future T/O/S products. T/O/S provides significantly lower cost of change within the office environment, allowing users to realize reduced ownership costs over the life of the product. Highly competitive at purchase, T/O/S provides an excellent return on investment.

Flexible A/C space system
Figure 1 - Hiross C system
Hiross Flexible Space System is an advanced air conditioning system suitable for modern offices incorporating raised access floor. Hiross FSS operates with Chilled/Hot water being supplied to the Main Air Handling units, namely HirossV and Hiross-C, which are located inside the office area close to the vertical service risers of the building. Hiross-V and HirossC Air Handling units will mix the cool or warm air (depending on the season) with Fresh Air drawn from outside and then supplied it inside the plenum of the raised access floor. The conditioned air will then be supplied in to the office space by means of Floor Recessed Floor Terminal units incorporating an air modulating damper and variable speed fans. Floor Terminal units have dimensions 600x600mm replacing thus any tile of the raised access floor. Relocating the Floor unit is merely a matter of 2-3 minutes. Hiross FSS requires no horizontal piping or ducting making office relocations and interior space rearrangements very easy, economic and fast. 22
Figure 2 - Hiross V system
The Hiross FSS operates in two different ways: 1. Floor Supply and Floor Return This is the Hiross-C system where the underfloor plenum is divided into supply air plenum (+ve pressure) and return air plenum (-ve pressure). The two plenums are divided by means of a special air segregation baffle. 2. Floor Supply and Ceiling Return This is the Hiross-V system where the underfloor plenum operates as supply air plenum (+ve pressure) and the false ceiling plenum as a return air plenum (-ve pressure). The Advantages of the Hiross FSS: Height Savings (Up to 20cm per Floor) Shorter Building Program (Up to 30%) Initial Building Cost Savings (between 5% - 7%) Reduced Life Cycle Running & Maintenance Costs Improved Thermal Comfort Lower Reconfiguration Costs Shorter Reconfiguration Time Needed Improved Ventilation Efficiency & IAQ

Cobiax is a revolutionary method of virtually eliminating concrete from the middle of a floor slab not performing any structural function, thereby dramatically reducing structural dead weight. Cobiax is based on a new patented technique- the direct way of linking air and steel. Void formers in the middle of a flat slab eliminates 35% of a slabs self-weight removing constraints of high dead loads and short spans. Incorporation of recycled plastic bubbles as void formers permits 50% longer spans between columns. Combination of this with a flat slab construction approach spanning in two directions - the slab is connected directly to insitu concrete columns. Combination of this with a fat slab construction approach spanning in two directions - the slab is connected directly to insitu concrete columns without any beams - produces a wide range of cost and construction benefits.
