Description
DB Green is a high performance raised access floor system manufactured from low carbon gypsum fibre. With a high acoustic performance and non-combustible fire rating, DB Green offers a BS EN structural loading of Class 1—3.
Knauf GIFAfloor DB green consists of homogeneously constructed gypsum fibre elements with a traditional raised access floor beveled edge. The panel is manufactured in such a way that it does not require the usual ABS edge band that is often seen on other raised floor systems. The result is a completely flat surface for the installation of any type of self-laid loose textile covering. By eliminating all steel components and the plastic edges, this raised floor variant GIFAfloor DB green is even less problematic to recycle than conventional raised floor elements.
Features and benefits:
- Fully Accessible Raised Floor
- Zero plastic, steel or timber.
- Non-combustible fire rating.
- High acoustic performance.
- Minimum 70—80% recycled content.
- 100% end of life recyclable.
- EPD certificate available.
Knauf DB Green is designed to receive a carpet tile, for hard or continuous finishes the Knauf GifaFloor FHB T&G System on pedestals is available. These systems can be installed side by side to create one entire raised floor from one manufacture
