September 28, 2001—Routes, a raised access floor newly introduced by Teknion Corp., puts all wires under your feet and out of sight, distributing hidden wires and cables horizontally to all locations within the office. Routes provides convenient access through discreet grommets and boxes in the floor. There is also an option to install under-floor air. Routes is described as an alternative to running wires and cables through the ceiling. It makes maintenance or modifications much easier and less disruptive, says Teknion, because it involves simply lifting floor plates rather than removing ceiling tiles and working above the ceiling grid. Routes works with panel systems, freestanding, and mobile furniture. Floor height ranges from 2.5 to 18 inches and can also be installed to level an uneven floor.
