Raised FlooringRaised flooring refers to a type of flooring that is found usually in data centers and telecommunications environments. These floors are similar to suspended ceilings, but in reverse. This type of floor consists of a metal framework that provides support for individual floor panels which are usually 2 foot (600mm) removable square tiles. Raised flooring systems are a number of inches from the base floor. The panels are usually white in color, and are designed to fit snugly together. To remove panels, workers will normally use a tool with a suction cup on the end that is referred to as a "floor puller." These types of floors allow data and electrical wiring to be run underneath the floor panels. They also allow for air conditioning systems to circulate cool air through the floors and help to keep computer equipment cool. A problem associated with raised flooring is that since the flooring tiles are rarely removed once equipment has been installed, the space below them is seldomly cleaned with vacuum cleaners, and fluff and other debris settles there, making working on cabling underneath the flooring a rather dirty job.
