Raised Flooring Will this work??

slickshoe62 · 27th December 2009

I got 4,000 sq ft of lifted flooring for FREE from a company that was closing down. It was taken from an IT company who ran all of its cabling under this lifted floor. It has a web-like base that is made up of columns that raise the 2'x2' platforms up about 2". One of the guys who installed the raised flooring said it was made for some isolation (to protect servers/sensitive equipment) and to hide cable lines.

This stuff is very expensive, and I'm hoping that I can use it in the build. what do you guys think??

pics included

are the risers solid metal or some sort of hard rubber or ?

you would want to stuff some insulation under there no matter what tho

Try to find the specs on the panels. If these floor panels were not designed for studio use, I would not recommend them. Many times, you can introduce more problems using something like that.

What would you like to do with your space?
