How the selection works
The calculator is a guide to raised access floor systems, not an engineering calculation. You enter the area, room type and desired floor height, and the tool selects a suitable system (pedestal structure, panel core, finish) and immediately shows a preliminary material list. It does not calculate price — the final specification and quote are prepared by a DIVIO engineer on request.
DIVIO is the raised-floor leader in Kazakhstan: over 120 server rooms, data centers and offices. We supply and install Nesite raised floor systems and work under full project management, from site survey to handover.
What a raised floor is
A raised access floor is a grid of 600 × 600 mm modular panels on adjustable pedestals. The void between the panels and the slab carries cable runs, building services and — in server rooms — chilled airflow. Panels lift out, so services stay accessible anywhere in the room.
What drives the system choice
- Floor height (FFH). The higher the void, the higher the pedestal class. Low office floors use standard modular systems; large data-center heights use high-load structures on tubular pedestals.
- Load. Server racks, archive shelving and material-handling equipment require higher EN 12825 panel classes and a denser core (calcium sulfate or sintered mineral).
- Finish. Antistatic vinyl for server rooms, HPL for offices, carpet tile for work areas. Natural stone and porcelain are possible but require deflection control.
- Airflow. In server rooms some panels are perforated to deliver cold air from below (cold/hot aisle scheme).
Tetris and semi-inspectable systems
Beyond classic modular floors there is the Tetris system on a calcium-sulfate core — cheaper across the solid-finish area, but under-floor access is via inspection hatches rather than the whole surface. The calculator accounts for this and lists hatches in the material list.
Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator compute price?
No. It is a system-selection and preliminary material-list tool. The exact quote is prepared by a DIVIO engineer after reviewing the configuration — accounting for logistics, installation and site specifics.
How accurate is the selection?
The selection is a guide based on Nesite manufacturer data. It correctly narrows the system choice and gives a preliminary material volume, but the final load, height and specification are confirmed by an engineer. For edge cases (large height, heavy load, stone finish) the tool shows warnings.
Can I share a configuration?
Yes. The configuration is saved in the address bar — copy the link and a colleague or engineer opens exactly the same setup.
How is DIVIO different from a panel supplier?
DIVIO runs the whole project: system selection, direct supply from the manufacturer, installation by our own crews, handover. One party responsible for timeline, budget and quality instead of a dozen contractors.
