With the accelerated development of the digital economy and new infrastructure, and the deep penetration of environmental awareness and intelligent needs, the raised floor industry is entering a critical period of transformation in 2026, characterized by green transformation, intelligent upgrading, and scenario segmentation. The market is placing greater demands on the environmental performance, intelligent adaptability, and targeted functionality of flooring, leading to the emergence of several products that align with these trends and are well-suited to core scenarios.
1.Core Trends of Raised Flooring in 2026
Deepening Green Development: Halogen-free flame-retardant and recyclable materials are becoming essential, with green products accounting for over 70% of bidding and market preference shifting towards environmentally friendly products.
Intelligent Implementation: Sensor integration and system collaboration are becoming standard features in high-end markets, with 65% of high-end data centers adopting intelligent ventilated floors.
Scenario Segmentation: Functional requirements such as load-bearing capacity, ventilation, and noise reduction are differentiating, making precise adaptation crucial for selection.
2.Recommended Raised Flooring Options for 2026
(1.)Calcium Sulphate Raised Floor
Core Advantages: Natural gypsum content ≥80%, recyclable material utilization rate over 95%, carbon emissions 40% lower than traditional cement-based flooring, fire rating A, formaldehyde release ≤0.1mg/L, ultimate load greater than 10kN under EN standards.
Suitable Scenarios: Ordinary data centers, intelligent buildings, and green building projects.
Representative Products: Antistatic calcium sulphate flooring (suitable for data centers), encapsulated calcium sulfate flooring (suitable for offices).
(2.)Steel Cement Raised Floor
Core Advantages: Heavy-duty and pressure-resistant, Class A fireproof, antistatic, suitable for computer rooms, factories, etc. The raised structure facilitates wiring and heat dissipation, flexible installation, and easy disassembly and maintenance. Moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly, and formaldehyde-free, with high flatness and long service life, making it the preferred choice for high-requirement, heavy-duty flooring. Suitable Scenarios: Large computer rooms, semiconductor testing workshops, heavy equipment factories, high-traffic public areas, and offices. Representative Products: bare finish steel cement raised floors, anti-static steel cement raised floors.
(3.)Intelligent Ventilated Floors
Core Advantages: Embedded with 2-4 temperature, humidity, and load sensors per square meter, supporting equipment-level energy consumption monitoring and predictive maintenance; interface with BIM/CIM systems to achieve cabling visualization and AR maintenance; stable anti-static performance; can reduce data center PUE by 0.1-0.15, saving over one million yuan in electricity costs annually.
Suitable Scenarios: Large intelligent computing centers, financial data centers, high-end IDCs.
Technical Highlights: Integrates pressure-sensing and dynamic-monitoring modules; can be linked with air conditioning and fresh air systems to enable adaptive environmental adjustment, serving as core infrastructure for intelligent spaces.
