Installing the Soluflex cable floor system
• Start with a dry, clean and level sub-floor that is suitable
for laying normal carpet. If the floor does not meet these
requirements, level it first
• Start in the corner of the room and click the tiles into the
plastic supports. Leave a 10 mm gap between the wall and
tile to allow for expansion. Continue to build the floor like this
and cut fitting tiles or edge plates to size
• You are now ready to open the cable routes using your
cabling plan. Make sure that the cables are not placed under
proposed locations of filing cabinets or other furniture as this
limits flexibility
• The corners of the tiles have small recesses to enable them
to be lifted using a screwdriver. Once one tile has been
removed, the others can be removed by hand
• Now place the power track or cables into the cable routes,
taking into account any extra cabling requirements for future
flexibility
• By installing more outlet boxes you will be able to create
extra connections without interruption later
• Dependent on the floor height being installed, a choice can
be made from various (pre-wired) outlet units in or on the
cable floor
• Earth the cable floor system every 100 m
2
by means of an
earthing tile
• In stretched areas such as corridors, place an earthing tile at
least every 14 metres
• The electrical installation should always be carried out by a
qualified electrician in conjunction with the requirements of
the latest wiring regulations
• To create ‘islands’, install steps with step corners to ensure a
neat finishing of the system
• The ramp provides a constant transition from an existing floor
to the Soluflex cable floor system
• The entire system can easily be dismounted and installed
again as required, giving Soluflex a virtually unlimited life
• The finished installation can then be covered with rubber,
stone, wood or carpet tiles
• Finishing with carpet tiles is advised for true flexibility and
accessibility of the system
