Abstract

An access floor system includes a plurality of floor panels, each panel having a pan and a cooperating top plate. The top plate is folded over a peripheral flange of the pan to define a hemmed edge. A trim piece is configured to snap over the hemmed edge of the floor panel. A support pedestal assembly includes a support plate configured to support the floor panels at their corners. Generally T-shaped stringers are joined to the support plates in a grid-like pattern. The stringers are rigidly connected to the plates or snap-on to lock tabs defined by the plates.
