Introduction
Product Overview | Introduction
Featuring a proprietary concrete-and-steel composite structure and an exposed concrete surface that's beautiful
enough to leave bare, Haworth's new TecCrete builds on a 25-year legacy as the access floor that doesn't
feel like one or look like one. It's the strongest and most durable access flooring system in its class. And it's
the greenest, manufactured in a Zero Landfill Plant with 58% recycled content. In addition, tight panel gap
tolerances and a flat underside make TecCrete ideal for underfloor air distribution. Available bare or with a range
of factory-applied finishes, TecCrete is the solid, quiet choice for any environment, from offices to data centers.

Airflow Panels
Product Overview | Airflow Panels

The airflow panel is used to cool high-density computer equipment typically found in a server room, data
center, or telecommunications center. The airflow panel is constructed from a welded grid frame and top sheet
assembly perforated to create a 23.6% open area. At 0.1 inches water gauge pressure, it produces 14% more CFM
than similar airflow panels.

Controlling Air Leakage
Product Application | Controlling Air Leakage
TecCrete access flooring is often used to create an underfloor cavity for air distribution. When TecCrete is applied
in this way, care must be taken to prevent unintentional air leakage from the underfloor cavity into the
occupied space.

sources other than the air diffusers. These sources can include gaps at access floor perimeters, columns, wall and
slab openings, and around conduits, pipes and other obstructions. Although a properly installed access floor will

of building construction and access floor installation. When each trade does its part to maintain the overall
condition of subfloors, access floors, building cavities, and air passage points, the end result will be a well-sealed
environment with minimal air leakage.
Air Tightness Specification

TecCrete access floor panels show exceptional air control properties. TecCrete specifications are twice as high as
those of typical die-cut floor panels.

Your general contractor should make sure that every slab-to-ceiling wall fits tightly and is correctly sealed at
the slab-line before access flooring is installed. Irregular wall surfaces may require gaskets, caulking, or tape to
properly seal access floor-to-wall connections.
Building contractors must completely seal cavity seams where walls rest on subfloors, and where access flooring
connects with slab-to-ceiling walls, columns and other obstructions.
It is also important that all utility access points such as openings for air ducts, conduits, cables, and pipes
CFDBSFGVMMZTFBMFE"MMPQFOJOHTJOCVJMEJOHFMFNFOUTGPSQMVNCJOH FMFDUSJDJUZBOEWPJDFEBUBDBCMJOHNVTU
be sealed by the trades that do those installations and should be inspected before access floors are installed.
If additional openings are cut for utilities after the access floor is installed, those should be inspected for seal
quality before carpet tiles are installed.
Your carpet installer also plays an important role in ensuring proper air sealing by fitting carpets snugly against
XBMMTBOEPUIFSWFSUJDBMTVSGBDFT BOECZDPOTJTUFOUMZPWFSMBQQJOHPPSQBOFMKPJOUTXJUIDBSQFUUJMFT&YUFOEJOH
carpet tiles all the way to the wall, carefully fitting perimeter panels, and tightly installing wall bases, all help to
seal access floor perimeters.

Haworth has a unique approach when it comes to Electrical Distribution and its ever changing layout. Our
philosophy is to design and install for tomorrow rather than conventionally wiring for today. How do we do that? By
