3 TecCrete TecCrete is a proven flooring platform with 30 years of history and experience. It is become the leading choice for architects and developers who prefer a top-quality access flooring system with best-in-class features. Made entirely in the U.S., TecCrete has been installed in some of the largest and highest scoring LEED certified buildings in the country. In addition, access floors are critical in designing modular spaces - including everything from casinos to office renovations. BEST WARRANTY IN INDUSTRY > 5 Year Structure > 3 Year HPL Delamination The Greenest Access Floor in the Industry 58% recycled content (contributes to LEED MR 4.1 & 4.2). Certified to meet the chemical emissions requirements for UL GREENGUARD Gold (contributes to LEED IEQ 3.1). Manufactured in our Kentwood, MI plant, a Zero Waste to Landfill facility.

Underfloor Air Energy Savings Fans use 10-20% less energy by working with the natural flow of air - coming up from the floor and not pushing down from the ceiling.

Air coming from the celing is often over-chilled to be at the ideal temperature when it reaches the worker. Fan power requirements are reduced by less ductwork that leads to lower static pressures.

4 Underfloor Air Energy Savings Fans use 10-20% less energy by working with the natural flow of air - coming up from the floor and not pushing down from the ceiling. Chillers are more efficient when conditioned air enters the part of the space where people are first. This creates the ideal temperature right at the worker s level. Air coming from the celing is often over-chilled to be at the ideal temperature when it reaches the worker. Fan power requirements are reduced by less ductwork that leads to lower static pressures. Temperature Comfort Occupants have greater control of the temperature of their space by being able to open or close the air vents directly in their space. Clean and newly conditioned air is introduced directly into the occupied zone where people breathe. Modular Power Haworth Power Base AI Haworth has the only modular electrical system that delivers seamless plug and play power from the electrical closet to the desktop. Designed specifically for architectural applications. Components arrive ready to install. Haworth and Haworth contractors provide layout and planning services for Power Base products. Detailed layout drawings minimize construction schedules and reduce costs. Flexibility to Reconfigure Power access under the floor makes a space easily reconfigurable. Access floors accommodate churn with minimal business downtime. Reduce the time to install electrical by 30-40% when utilities are under the floor.

5 Construction Material Savings By eliminating utlities overhead, the height of the building is reduced and less building material is needed. Material Savings On: Structural Steel Building Facade Drywall Elevator Shaft Stairwells Ductwork

Engineered for reliability, safety, and installation ease The System Its unique concrete-and-steel composite panel makes TecCrete amazingly quiet and solid underfoot.

6 Engineered for reliability, safety, and installation ease The System Its unique concrete-and-steel composite panel makes TecCrete amazingly quiet and solid underfoot. The system effectively attenuates noise from HVAC equipment, foot traffic and other sound sources. Concrete and Steel Composite Design Full Panel Thickness Concrete & Steel Composite Design Solid rolling load support. Steel shear tabs cause the concrete and steel to behave as a single composite material, combining compressive strength and tensile strength for unmatched static and dynamic load performance. Industry s only weldless steel pan ensures structural integrity throughout product lifecycle. Fully Cured Concrete Reduces Airborne Contaminants Pedestal Lock Full Panel Thickness Superior load-bearing support. Solid 1 1/8 or 1 1/2 thick throughout entire panel. Full panel thickness rests on understructure, eliminating structural vulnerability at panel edge and corner. Cut panels have full panel strength across the entire panel surface. Pedestal Lock Built-in pedestal-lock positions and holds panel in place during installation. Screws are not required to maintain system squareness. Ground Path Reduce Airborne Contaminants Structural concrete won t flake during installation. Limits dust in day-to-day operations. Ground Path Conductive path to ground designed into the TecCrete system for dependable static protection and electrical safety. The cornerlock screw connects the steel pan to the pedestal head and base -- creating a ground path. Fire Safety Meets Class A requirements for flame spread & smoke development. Lower heat transmission through the panel than traditional steel access floor panels.
