The Knauf GIFAfloor DB Green system is a sustainable raised access flooring solution designed for office and commercial environments. Manufactured from low-carbon gypsum fibre panels, it provides high structural performance while significantly reducing environmental impact.

Material Composition & Construction

DB Green panels are made from homogeneous gypsum fibre elements, produced with:

Minimum 70–80% recycled content
No plastic, steel, or timber components

Unlike traditional raised floor panels, DB Green is manufactured without ABS edge bands, resulting in a completely flat surface with a bevelled edge finish.

This construction simplifies recycling at end of life and allows the seamless installation of loose-laid textile coverings such as carpet tiles.

Performance & Standards

Fire safety: A1 non-combustible fire rating, tested to REI60.
Acoustic performance: Excellent airborne and impact sound insulation due to panel density.
Structural loading: Conforms to BS EN 12825: Class 1–3 performance requirements.
Void heights: Compatible with pedestals up to 1400 mm.
Indoor Air Quality: Eurofins Gold certified, Red List Free.
Sustainability: EPD available, low embodied carbon, fully recyclable at end of life.

System Integration

DB Green is designed primarily to receive loose-laid carpet tiles, making it ideal for office environments.

Both systems can be installed side by side, creating a unified raised floor solution from a single manufacturer.
