Patented Terrazzo raised access floor system with natural recycled materials, non-combustible fire rating, high acoustic and slip resistance, and a premium design finish.
Application
The AFD Terrazzo RAF system is suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior applications where both design quality and technical performance are required. Its combination of durability, fire safety, acoustic performance, and natural material composition makes it an attractive solution for:
- Corporate Offices and Headquarters – delivering a premium aesthetic finish alongside full raised floor accessibility.
- Public Buildings & Universities – durable, safe, and sustainable flooring for high-footfall environments.
- Retail and Hospitality – combines striking visual appeal with non-slip resistance, ideal for lobbies, showrooms, and dining spaces.
- Transport Hubs & Airports – capable of handling high loads and intensive traffic with long-term resilience.
- Exhibition and Cultural Spaces – offering design versatility with custom Terrazzo blends to align with architectural intent.
- Outdoor and Semi-Outdoor Environments – moisture-resistant properties allow use in covered outdoor spaces, terraces, and atria.
The system’s non-combustibility, moisture resistance, and high recycled content make it suitable for projects prioritising fire safety and sustainability, while its premium Terrazzo finish allows specifiers to meet both performance and design objectives in a single product.
Description
The AFD Terrazzo Raised Access Floor System is a patented flooring solution that combines the performance of a raised access floor with the elegance of a Terrazzo finish. Crafted in Italy with meticulous precision, it delivers both aesthetic impact and technical excellence.
Unlike conventional stone-finished raised floors that require separate panel and finish bonding, the AFD Terrazzo system is cast as a single, solid panel using only natural, raw, and recycled materials. No adhesives, chemicals, or bonding layers are involved, ensuring durability, sustainability, and long-term stability.
Panel Construction
- Panel size: 600 × 600 × 36 mm (thicker panels available for increased load performance).
- Reinforced ABS edge band trim.
- High-performance steel pedestals available to suit voids from 19.5 mm to 1400 mm, with optional stringers for additional stability.
- Wide variety of factory-cast Terrazzo blends available, including bespoke colours and grain sizes (Graniglia Fine, Grossa, MAXXI, and Pietra/Brushed).
Performance Features
- Fully accessible raised floor system for easy underfloor service management.
- High non-slip resistance:
- Polished and matt finishes: R9.
- Brushed finishes: R11 (DIN 51130).
- Non-combustible fire rating:
- Fire reaction: Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1).
- Fire resistance: R90 (UNI EN 1366-6).
- Acoustic performance: high sound absorption properties.
- Mechanical strength:
- Working point load: 3.5 kN.
- Centre edge load at 2.5 mm deflection: 6 kN.
- Ultimate load to collapse: Class 5.
- Residual deflection: 0.15 mm.
- Uniformly distributed load: 15 kN/m².
- Passes hard and soft body impact tests.
- Durability: hard-wearing solid surface with long service life.
- Sustainability: recycled content ranges from 25–80% (lighter blends typically offer higher recycled content).
- Electrostatic performance: antistatic and conductive properties available.
Design Flexibility
The Terrazzo finish is available in an extensive palette of blends and colours, from fine-grain classics (e.g. Bianco Carrara, Nero Marquinia, Rosso Verona) to coarser Venetian and bespoke mixes. Minimum order quantities apply for custom designs.
