Construction & room layout

The choice of flooring is probably one of the most important decisions you will take and 2bm has developed a wide range of solutions to suit all applications of cabling and cooling.

Utilising the floor void as an air supply plenum,integrated air plenum stringers to reduce airbleed and a range of anti-static floor finishes ourholistic approach will ensure any project starts off on the right foot.

But if ceiling height is an issue, we havepioneered innovative new approaches to coolingthat overcome the need for a raised floor.
