Application

Suitable for commercial, office and architectural spaces.

Description

Diffuse is a patented raised access floor system that integrates underfloor heating while maintaining full accessibility to the underfloor void. The system operates without the need for a cement screed, enabling efficient thermal regulation through a dry installation process. Designed to balance thermal performance with the functional requirements of a raised floor, Diffuse offers low thermal inertia, rapid heat response, and immediate usability after installation. Its construction allows for easy access, flexibility in building services, and consistent indoor comfort without compromising architectural design.

Features and benefits:

  • Dry installation system allows for rapid and clean installation without cement screed.
  • Fully accessible raised floor design enables each panel to be removed and repositioned independently.
  • Integrated underfloor heating eliminates the need for visible heating elements such as radiators or fan coils.
  • Absence of convective air movement helps maintain indoor air quality and reduces dust circulation.
  • High thermal efficiency provides fast response times and uniform heat distribution up to 2.5 m in height.
  • Low thermal inertia ensures quick heating and efficient temperature control.
  • Energy-efficient system delivers energy savings of at least 30%.

Not required.
Epoxy resin-based adhesives.
Polyurethane (PUR) adhesives.

Raised access floor surface

Raised access floor panels, calcium sulphate core.

Guidance for specification option:

Core composed of a monolithic layer of calcium sulphate, anhydrite-reinforced with recycled cellulose fibers, reaction to fire in class A1. Calcium sulfate panels offer high-performance characteristics and are EPD certified making them also suitable for projects with high sustainability standards.

Raised access floor panels, sintered material core.

Guidance for specification option:

Core made of inert and inorganic material, with very high density (2200 kg/m³). Resistant to temperature changes, non-absorbent and frost-resistant. Suitable for high humidity environments or outdoor spaces, in the version without edge trim.
