Inventive Way Of Building Your Own Raised Computer Floors

By Elsa Noel


Information technology centers or IT data rooms require a wide area. Having your own place is advantageous because you will no longer pay for expensive monthly rent and your options are unlimited. If you plan of constructing IT rooms for your business, be creative and innovative in using space.

Space is essential for movement and business comfort. It permits you to travel from one point to another without hindrance and free from worries. You can breathe comfortably and relax in between working hours. Modern architects and engineers have created techniques to make the most out of the limited space. This raised computer floors could be functional to homes, data centers, and commercial buildings.

The usual design and style of elevated and raised access flooring is put up over a solid concrete slab which made it suitable for call centers, business offices, and private IT stations. The difficulty and challenge to builders is the re-routing and installment of mechanical cables, electric supply, and lighting wires. Proper ventilation must be achieved as well as air circulation. Perforated tiles are installed below computer systems for better air flow.

In some technology advanced countries, they use the under-floor air distribution system in order to achieve a cool air circulation by applying the void under the elevated floor as the primary plenum cavity. A strong horse power for air conditioning units can provide cool air within the room, maintains the circulation up and below the floors, as it completes the cycle.

It is advised to learn about under-floor wiring arrangement and forms like the liquid tight, shielded types, twisted pair types, dual-coaxial, and mono-coaxial. This system is being used in order to gain efficient and worry-free power and communication distribution. Teflon-sheathed cables often installed but it surely requires substantial budget.

Proper wire and cable arrangements below the flooring must be done with careful and meticulous measures. Once overlooked, faulty wire arrangements can cause fire and eventually cause monetary loss and worse, death. To prevent fires, usual suggestions would be installation of fire alarm systems and smoke detectors. Other mechanics install lockout system wherein the smoke detecting device will immediately alarm and prevent the spread of fire and smoke through automatic shut down of air handlers.

Other safety guidelines must be taken down such as maintaining fire extinguishers in each office corner. It is also good to have the employees attend to seminars that will inform and can show effective fire drills and fire preventive measures. This course is usually taken up in every business establishment in order to protect the workers as well as the interests of the business owners.

Isolated computer rooms are good for industries that need focus and veer away from distractions such as noise and attention-grabbing sights. It could offer comfort and satisfaction to employees and owners because the target daily goals and output can be obtained.

Be inventive and creative in structuring IT data rooms. Limited space is not a problem now that you can build your own elevated IT centers without delay and hassle. Just do not forget safety warning devices for fires, smoke, and good air regulation.
