When installing a raised floor, the best starting point is typically from the farthest corner away from
the entrance, in this case, Point B. This method allows for the floor installation to progress towards
the entrance, ensuring that workers can avoid walking over the newly installed tiles, thus minimizing
the risk of damage and maintaining cleanliness during installation.
Detailed Explanation:
Starting at the farthest corner (Point B) and working towards the entrance (Point A) is a standard
practice in raised floor installation. This approach ensures that installers do not walk over freshly laid
tiles, which could lead to shifting or misalignment. Additionally, it allows for more controlled
placement and alignment, as well as convenient egress when installation is complete.
EPI Data Center Specialist Reference:
EPI guidelines for raised floor installation emphasize beginning at the farthest point from the
entrance and working back towards it, which aligns with industry best practices for efficiency and
quality assurance. This method reduces potential damage and supports precise alignment across the
floor area.
