New Year's Resolutions for Your Raised Floor

Happy New Year everyone! Goals like losing holiday weight, spending more time with family or staying on budget are traditional ideas for New Year’s resolutions. This year I encourage you to think of something most people don’t even think about …yes, your raised floor. Having some simple New Year’s resolutions to take better care of your raised floor will simply make it nicer and last longer.

Here’s some brief recommendations on what you should do to get the most out of your raised floor.

A starting resolution for your raised floor should be establishing a routine for regular cleaning and inspection. Dust, debris, and moisture can accumulate under raised floors, leading to potential damage. Depending upon your facility's foot? traffic, a simple daily dust mop or a weekly clean will keep your floor tidy.

Schedule monthly cleanings to remove any stringer buildup and inspect for signs of instability. This preventive measure can save you from costly repairs in the future.

Swap out high traffic panels with others less used.

This year, commit to periodically checking your understructure and getting any adjustments as needed.?

Sometimes, a professional eye can catch issues you might overlook. Plan to have a professional inspection of your raised floor system at least once a year. They can provide expert advice on maintenance and any issues that may develop.

If your raised floor system is outdated, consider upgrading it. Many newer systems offer better materials and designs that are more durable and efficient. This resolution might involve a significant investment but can be cost-effective in the long run.

By setting these resolutions and sticking to them, you can enjoy a well-maintained raised floor system throughout the year and beyond.

Here's to an awesome new year!!!
