Raised Access Flooring System
What is Raised Access Flooring?
ConCore Access Floor panels are epoxy coated unitized shells consisting of a flat steel top sheet welded to a formed steel bottom sheet filled with a highly controlled mixture of lightweight cement. Manufactured to exact tolerances these solid panels deliver the ultimate in design, performance, plenum integrity, service and usability.

Types of Glass & Coatings
Tempered |
At a minimum, StarFlite provides tempered safety glass for all windows |
Laminated |
Another type of safety glass, these units consist of two panes of glass, laminated together to reduce spall if a window breaks or cracks |
Lexan |
Not a glass, but a polycarbonate substance, this material has very high impact strength and is frequently used for hurricane covers placed over glass windows. This type of material can be used for some bullet resistant makeups. Generally, it is an alternative to tempered glass when higher impact strength is required. |
Bullet Resistant |
Bullet/high impact resistant glass can be used where utmost protection is required. This special window glass is made up of various layers of laminated glass. It can also incorporate lexan or other polycarbonate materials. |
Anti-Glare Coating |
This coating will reduce glare on the interior window surface and improver operator visibility. |
IRR Coated Glass |
This is a heat reflective coating that is baked onto the glass |
Shaded/Tinted Glass |
Reduces light transmittance for operator comfort. Shadings from light to very dark welding glass, and cobalt glass, are available. |
Heated Window Panes |
Electric resistance strips are laminated to the glass and help to reduce ice and snow buildup. |
Types of Windows
Fixed |
The most popular type we incorporate into our buildings. These insulated windows have a minimum of two (2) fixed panes of glass that do not open. |
Horizontal Sliders |
These units have two (2) sashes that slide from side to side and allow an operator or an attendant a means of accessing the exterior of the building, or allowing outside air into the building. |
Double Hung |
These windows have two (2) sashes that rasied and lower and allow an operator or an attendant a means of accessing the exterior of the buliding, or allowing outside air into the building. |
Awning or Hopper |
Awning windows are hinged at the top and usually open out. Hopper windows are hinged at the bottom and usually open in. The mechanical arm or chain will prevent the window from opening too far. |
Types of Units
Commercial Duty |
Commercial Duty units are designed for relatively clean environments, where the unit is not subject to corrosive conditions or vibration. These units typically have cabinets that are painted steel and/or plastic. |
Industrial Duty |
Industrial Duty units are those designed to operate in dusty, dirty and potentially mild corrosive environments. These units typically feature wider fin spacing, allowing dust and dirt to pass through more easily. The cabinets are usually mild steel with a high performance coating or galvanized steel |
Severe Duty |
Severe Duty units usually have the same features as industrial duty units, with the added feature of high ambient cooling. Most HVAC units are designed to deliver full cooling capacity at 95°F. After that, the capacity is diminished until the unit ceases function at approximately 105°F to 110°F. Using special controls, these units can deliver their fully rated cooling capacity well beyond 120°F. |
Classified/Explosion Proof |
There are various classifications for explosion proof units, but in general, all are designed to provide some level of protection in environments where conditions exist for possible explosion hazards. |

Types of Insulation
Fiberglass |
This insulation is exactly what you would find in a residential home. The kraft face provides stability in the wall cavities. Fiberglass is the most cost effective option while providing thermal and acoustical controls. Four inches (4") of fiberglass provides a R-13 insulation value. |
Mineral Wool |
This insulation option provides enhanced fire protection and acoustical performance, which is ideal for noisy, industrial environments. Mineral wool comes in four pounds per cubic foot (4pcf) or six pounds per cubic foor (6pcf). At four inches thick (4") the insulation value is R-16.8. |
Foam Board |
Foam board insulation provides the highest insulation value, and is used in several of our modular buildings that require specific energy code compliance (see Industrialized Units page). A two inch thick (2") sheet of foam board provides a R-13 insulation value. |
