The tiles are made of PVC or HPL, which is a high pressure laminate, which is a plywood that has special protection standards.
How are high floors defined?
The height of the raised floors is determined by the size of the cables or pipes that will pass under the floor. If many, the height is preferably large or if it is small then the height is small.

What materials are used in the manufacture of high floors?
1- Of reinforced wood, which is a type of wood from which high floors can be made, and it is characterized by the following:
* Economical price.
*flexible
* Resistant to fire spread
* Suitable for rolling loads
2- It is of aluminum material and it is preferred to use it because it does not contain metal materials, so it affects the magnetic fields and consequently the electrical currents, and it is characterized by the following:
* Light in weight, as the density of aluminum is one third the density of iron.
* This type of high floor is excellent for rolling loads.
3- Guarded elevated floors, characterized by the following:
* Excellent fire resistance.
* Withstands rolling loads more than excellent.
* Suitable for electrical insulation work and very suitable for electronic and electrical applications.
*unflamable.
4- Made of solid iron and distinguished by:
1- Fire resistant and considered lightweight for easy opening.
2- It is characterized by being non-flammable.
3- It is characterized by being coated with epoxy, which is a very good protection for surfaces and insulating.
How to ventilate rooms with raised floors?
Through ventilation holes or holes where the tiles have ventilation holes, the ventilation ratio for the raised floors ranges from 55% to 15% depending on the size of the openings and the rate of air that passes through them to ventilate the rest of the room.

2- Carpet-like surfaces made of (PVC) material and the thickness ranges from (2 / 2.5 / 3) millimeters.
3- Ceramic surfaces with thickness of (8/10) mm.
4- Material (HPL) and thickness ranges from (0.8 / 1 / 1.2 / 1.5 / 1.6) millimeters.
What are the uses for raised floors?
Raised floor is used in places that use a very large number of electric cables or pipes and mechanical parts,
Which are hidden below for high floors such as (network and router network institutions, locations of supercomputers)
Which requires a huge number of cables and these cables are passed from under the high floors to maintain and maintain the general shape of these rooms from the appearance of cables.
And this type of flooring is also used in medical and chemical laboratories because it uses a lot of pipes and tubes that need to be hidden under high floors.
What are the types of raised floors?
1- cooling raised floor:
Here this type of flooring is used to connect and supply air from under the high floors to reach equipment and devices for ventilation.
Cold air is distributed inside the rooms from the bottom of the floors until it reaches the ceiling of the place.
2- cabling raised floor:
This type of flooring is used to pass cables and wires from the bottom of the rooms that use a lot of electrical appliances and electronic devices to keep cables from being damaged and to preserve the room space.
3- storage raised floor:
This type of flooring is used as a storehouse for buildings, taking advantage of the area below the high floors. There are several buildings
Its floors are designed to be ventilated and raised and used as warehouses and have upper doors to pull or close when needed.
4-drainage raised floor:
And use this type of flooring to protect furniture and carpets from water as a result of the presence of some floods in some countries so that the water does not reach the high level.
