Abstract
A raised floor system for installation over a base floor that allows ready access to the space created thereunder. Raised floor panels are supported above the base floor by and secured to base floor web tile assemblies that interconnect one to another. Each base floor web tile assembly includes a plurality of hollow metal cylinders with a lower portion to which a plastic base floor web tile is over-molded. The base floor web tile has adhesion pads with apertures which allow adhesive to be injected below the tile from above. The adhesive is used to affix the interconnected base floor web tile assemblies to the base floor. Further, an upper surface of each metal cylinder has over-molded thereto a plastic floor panel support boss. The floor panel support boss engages with a threaded panel fastener to secure a raised floor panel to a floor panel support of a base floor web tile assembly. Services such as telephone, electricity and computer cables may be installed in the space under the raised floor panels.
