Urban Interlock: An access floor solution for tiled and stone areas

The ASP Urban Interlock System has been designed for applications where stone or tile finishes are to be applied. The panels specially designed interlock edge profile ensures panels remain locked together, eliminating movement.

The Urban Interlock System has been scientifically designed to disseminate load transference through the system to ensure there are zero stress rises and zero deflection within the system.

Deflection and stress rises were a great problem for access floors in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s due to the basic design and lack of understanding of building movement and design.

ASP has designed a proprietary interlock system that is able to take great loads both static and dynamic. This has provided the perfect solution imitating a secondary slab effect that ensures tiles and stone finishes do not crack.

The Interlock system provides an interlocked design, which ensures no movement and so eliminates the need for substrates. This elimination of substrates means the Interlock is a cost and time efficient design solution.

The Urban Interlock Panel is a composition panel with its main core ingredients of gypsum and fibre. A galvanized steel base plate is adhered to the core, creating a strong durable panel suitable for various environments.

The use of the Urban Interlock system provides the following benefits:

• Outstanding static and live load performance
• Prevents cracking in tiled and stone areas
• Eliminates movement
• Non-combustible
• Moisture resistant
• Ease of maintenance and serviceability with interchangeable panels
• Great durability and lifespan contributing to a significant reduction in life cycle costs
• High recycled content
• LCA & EPD
• Creates a quiet and comfortable underfoot solution
