Criteria

System Weight

Traditional Screed System

Due to Concrete Additives, it imposes a weight of 80-160 kg/m² on the Load Bearing System. This is 2-3 times heavier than the Raised Floor System.

icon
Raised Floor System

With a System Weight of 25-50 kg/m², it imposes 50% less load on the Main Load Bearing Systems.

icon

Manufacturing Time

Traditional Screed System

The complexity of manufacturing and the setting time of concrete extends the manufacturing duration. Planning and implementation stages requiring organization with other trades are complex. Multi-layered manufacturing, concrete work, setting wait time, waiting times for other trades, adverse weather conditions, retroactive correction times, and cleaning time result in an inefficient labor rate of 3 m²/hour.

icon
Raised Floor System

The manufacturing time consists of foot-panel assembly. It offers many advantages by allowing other trades to be performed independently at a rate of 10 m²/hour.

icon

Labor

Traditional Screed System

The manufacturing method is traditional concrete work. It requires intensive on-site labor and waiting times.

icon
Raised Floor System

The raised floor system is modular and produced under factory quality control. It is transported to the construction site according to project needs. It requires minimal labor, and specialized, trained teams complete the installation in one go. Revisions are easy and incur no additional costs or labor.

icon

Manufacturing Planning and Coordination

Traditional Screed System

Concrete manufacturing requires organization, setting time, and planning with other trades.

icon
Raised Floor System

Assembly is done in a single stage and independent of the manufacturing sequence, providing flexible planning.

icon

Solid Waste and Cleaning

Traditional Screed System

Serious residual material problems occur after concrete manufacturing. Separate revisions create additional debris problems.

icon
Raised Floor System

At the end of manufacturing, there will be recyclable cardboard packaging and reusable wooden pallets.

icon

Unforeseen Manufacturing Revisions

Traditional Screed System

No return is possible after manufacturing. After the concrete sets, revisions require demolition. Project changes during the construction phase create additional time and costs. Other trades are damaged and need to be redone.

icon
Raised Floor System

The modular panel and support system can be easily disassembled for necessary changes during project revisions.

icon

Quality Control

Traditional Screed System

Site conditions and concrete manufacturing make quality control difficult.

icon
Raised Floor System

The panel and support feet prepared in the factory are sent to the site after quality control. On-site, only installation quality control is performed by specialized teams.

icon

Manufacturing Cost

Traditional Screed System

During construction, intensive labor, revisions, site cleaning tasks, and long manufacturing durations result in high costs.

icon
Raised Floor System

Predictable material and assembly costs, with a manufacturing phase that does not affect construction time, are cheaper than traditional screed manufacturing.

User Evaluation

Physical Comfort

Traditional Screed System

Hard floors cause foot, knee, hip, and back pain. These pains create fatigue and a feeling of restlessness. This situation can lead to physical and mental problems.

icon
Raised Floor System

The raised floor system provides walking comfort. It ensures floor comfort suitable for long working hours and standing working conditions.

icon

Repairs & Renovation

Traditional Screed System

Modern office and residential buildings will create demolition and debris problems for user change requests. Access to cable and ventilation installations will be difficult.

icon
Raised Floor System

Being modular and demountable provides a significant advantage in repair and new decoration situations. Electrical/data cables and plumbing pipes solved under the raised floor are easily accessible.

icon

Acoustic Comfort and Insulation

Traditional Screed System

Hard floors have low acoustic values.

icon
Raised Floor System

The space between the covering material and the concrete floor - raised floor provides sound insulation.

icon

Aesthetic and Visual Pollution

Traditional Screed System

Cable clutter and visible wiring will ruin office aesthetics. These emerge as problems to be solved during the design and planning phase.

icon
Raised Floor System

Electrical/data cables, plumbing pipes, and ventilation systems solved under the raised floor prevent visual pollution. It facilitates the design and planning phase.

Recycling Opportunity

Traditional Screed System

Once hardened, screed products cannot be recycled.

icon
Raised Floor System

Raised floor panels and supports are made from recyclable materials. Primary materials like metal pipes, particle board, and calcium sulfate can be reused.

icon

Carbon Footprint

Traditional Screed System

Concrete products have a high carbon footprint and significant environmental impacts from production to application.

icon
Raised Floor System

Raised floor supports and panels have a low carbon footprint.

icon

Ecological Material

Traditional Screed System

Materials used in screed products have a high carbon footprint. Raw materials used in production are obtained by damaging nature and produced with significant carbon emissions.

icon
Raised Floor System

Particle board and calcium sulfate materials used in raised floor panels are recyclable ecological materials.
