The Eurodek® Fortress range consists of gravity loose lay panels, encapsulated
in corrosion resistant galvanised steel, with a high density chipboard core,
ideally suited to a wide range of applications, where strength and long life are
the primary concerns.
Mechanical stitching within the unique lid to tray
locking system gives strength and integrity to
the panels design. The panels have a galvanised
steel bottom tray with an out turned profile. The
steel lid is then rolled around the lower profile
creating a locked, double layer of steel.
The unique design of Fortress means that the
panels achieve a variety of classifications. The
Fortress panel meets BSEN 12825 Classes 5A3,
3A3 and 2A3 when used with the Eurodek® HD
and XD range of pedestals and PSA MOB PF2
PS/SPU – medium grade.
Eurodek® Fortress Lock screwdown panels are
also available, providing extra security where
required and greater integrity for high voids.
All panels are supplied bare to accept an
appropriate loose lay finish.
The chipboard sourced for the Fortress range of
panels has FSC® Chain of Custody certification.

The Knauf Integral GIFAfloor system is a partial-access floor system using
natural gypsum based (calcium sulphate) tongue & groove panel installed on
a conventional 600mm grid access floor under structure. Once installed, the
floor is flat and smooth and joints will not track through the applied finish,
and access can be incorporated with conventional access floor panels or
access frames.
Manufactured from highly compressed calcium
sulphate, this panel is of a homogenous
monolithic material ideal for applications where
acoustic properties and durability are paramount.
GIFAfloor is also the ideal replacement for floor
screed particularly in multi-storey projects where
cost and time savings are essential.
Knauf Integral GIFAfloor F181 single layer is
Ideal for raised floor areas requiring continuous
finishes such as sheet vinyl, rubber or linoleum.
For hard finishes such as stone and ceramic,
F182 double-layer or F183 triple-layer GIFAfloor
provide superb stability.

FIRE BARRIER
Eurodek® Under Floor Fire Barrier is a high density mineral wool and foil faced
fire, smoke and acoustic barrier for raised access floor voids.
Supplied both cut to size or in slab form, the fire
barrier is suitable for voids between 15mm and
1000mm and can provide up to 120 minutes
fire resistance, preventing the passage of flame
and smoke through the void.
Eurodek’s Fire Barrier also has acoustic
properties to reduce flanking transmission of
sound through the void by at least 9dB. Where
the barrier is installed beneath a partition
line into an imperforate timber based access
floor system of at least 30mm thickness, with
floor covering over, the room to room sound
reduction on the path of the fire barrier will be at
least 45dB.
Performance advantages
1. Subdivision of large uninterrupted cavities.
i) To comply with Building Regulations –

ii) To comply with LPC Design Guides –
30 minutes integrity plus 30 minutes

CUTTING OUT THE JARGON
In the UK and Europe the recognised marks of quality and performance
standards are indicated by BSEN and PSA certifications.
BSEN Specification
This specification is now recognised as a British
Standard – BSEN 12825, approved by CEN as
a voluntary specification for private projects and
mandatory public projects.
BSEN specification classifies Raised Access
Floors based on the load at which failure
occurs, referred to as the ultimate load. This
classification is also based on a chosen safety
factor and deflection under working load. For
example a class 3A3 panel means
3 = Ultimate Load – the point at which the system would collapse
A = Deflection Class
3 = Safety Factor
BSEN classification is based upon the panel’s
actual structural performance and not against
pre-set criteria as per the PSA specification.
PSA Specification
The PSA specification is a long established
performance standard used by the Property
Services Agency and now referred to as MOB
PF2 PS/SPU outlining grades of raised access
floor, light, medium and heavy.
The PSA specification outlines a method of
test for structural performance. This ensures
compliance and provides guidance as to the
working areas where each floor grade may be
used. Point Load and Uniformly Distributed Load
are used here.
