Access raised floors are becoming increasingly popular in Kenya, especially in commercial spaces like offices, data centers, and technical environments. Here’s an overview of access raised floors, their benefits, installation considerations, and key suppliers in Kenya.
1. What Are Access Raised Floors?
Access raised floors consist of a series of panels elevated above the structural floor, creating a space for running electrical and data cables, as well as HVAC systems. This design allows for easy access to utilities and improves flexibility in layout.
2. Benefits of Access Raised Floors
- Enhanced Flexibility: Allows for quick reconfiguration of office spaces as needs change.
- Improved Cable Management: Provides an organized way to manage wiring and cables, reducing clutter.
- Easier Maintenance: Facilitates easier access to electrical and data connections for maintenance and upgrades.
- Aesthetics: Can enhance the overall look of a workspace with a clean, organized appearance.
3. Applications
- Commercial Offices: Ideal for modern office environments where layouts may need to change frequently.
- Data Centers: Essential for managing the complex network of cables and cooling systems required for server rooms.
- Telecommunication Facilities: Supports the infrastructure needed for various communication technologies.
4. Installation Considerations
- Load-Bearing Capacity: Ensure the raised floor system can support the weight of equipment and furniture.
- Height Requirements: Consider the height of the raised floor in relation to the building’s overall design and accessibility.
- Material Choices: Panels can be made from various materials such as steel, aluminum, or laminate, each offering different durability and aesthetic options.
- Ventilation Needs: Planning for adequate airflow through the raised floor is crucial, especially in data centers.
5. Key Suppliers in Kenya

6. Cost Factors
The cost of access raised floor installation in Kenya varies based on:
- Material and Quality: Higher quality materials will incur higher costs.
- Area Covered: Larger spaces will naturally increase overall installation costs.
- Installation Complexity: Custom installations may require more labor and planning, impacting costs.

The additional space and equipment required to support data center operations — including power transformers, your uninterruptible power source (UPS), generators, computer room air conditioners (CRACs), remote transmission units (RTUs), chillers, air distribution systems, etc. In a high-density, Tier 3 class data center (i.e. a concurrently maintainable facility), this support infrastructure can consume 4-6 times more space than the white space and must be accounted for in data center planning.
