Renovating? Tate Access Floors with UFSD Will Check All Your Boxes!

JESSUP, Md., Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Giving old buildings new life through renovation is a part of building sustainably, and more companies are making being green a part of their service model, meaning it is even more important to have techniques which preserve historic charm while allowing for all modern conveniences. Using access floor systems with Underfloor Service Distribution (UFSD) is one crucial way that you can be good to the environment while also being good to your wallet, future-proof your office space, and preserve the structure of older spaces.

The modern workspace has been undergoing an evolution, with builders taking advantage of the availability of existing buildings and retrofitting them for office use. Modern offices have less space per employee, with a study by CoreNet Global finding that the average office now has 151 sqft per worker, down from 225 sqft in 2010. This increase in density in the modern office space means that there is a greater need for flexibility and reconfigurability as employee and business needs change and grow.

There have also been several shifts in office layout and design over the last few years. The increasing popularity of open floor plans have coincided with a move towards minimalistic, lighter weight furniture that simply can't facilitate the cable and wiring which used to be run through cubical walls and desks. Additionally, many architects are choosing to incorporate exposed ceilings into the office environment instead of drop ceilings, to highlight the character of the existing space. So, with fewer fixed interior walls and columns, and design trends removing office furniture and ceilings as feasible options for supporting wire and cable distribution, the question becomes, "Where am I supposed to run the infrastructure for my building?"

The answer is right beneath your feet.

Access floor systems provide many unique advantages for redesigning older buildings. In addition to providing a quick and easy method to level an uneven existing floor, the most important benefit is the ability to utilize UFSD by moving your wire and cable into the void created by the access floor.

By using UFSD, ideally with modular plug-and-play zone wiring and cabling, you get access to fast, efficient, and responsive layouts and reconfigurations that provide easy access to your service pathway. And since these modular pieces can be reused and reconfigured over time, you're able to create a cleaner and safer workplace and respond to the changing needs of your business while minimizing the impact these changes have on the building itself.

Everyone understands it's essential for the modern office space to be adaptable, flexible, and poised to take advantage of the space in older buildings. One of the best ways to start checking these boxes is to use Access Flooring and Underfloor Service Distribution, solutions that makes life easier, more sustainable, and can also potentially help your bottom line - a win all around.
