Floating floors are also known as floating or raised floors.
What are floating floors
Floating floors are used to cover an underlying floor on which a metal frame (hive) is placed to support the chipboard and pressed wood squares, then covered with a coating. The covering can be made of laminate, PVC, carpet, wood, ceramic, stone, artificial mixes, etc. and becomes the surface intended for traffic.
Why are floating floors installed
This type of floor is used to insulate and cover pipes, electrical wires and telematic connection cables, allowing a quick and economical replacement of the surface when the panels are worn or damaged. They are also defined as antistatic surfaces because they allow the dissipation of electrostatic charges accumulated by the electrical cables present in the room.
Where are raised floors used?
They are very common in offices, banks, shops and in general where you have to cover a low quality surface (polished concrete) or you do not want to eliminate the previous flooring.
