The Brazilian construction sector is seeing increased interest in raised flooring systems, which are being utilized as a sustainable ‘dry construction’ solution. These modular systems, consisting of plates on pedestals, allow for mechanical assembly that avoids the water and mortar requirements of traditional subfloors.

This technology offers significant efficiency and environmental advantages, such as reducing construction schedules by up to 70% by eliminating curing periods and allowing for disassembly and reuse to prevent demolition waste. Adoption is being driven by various sectors, including the rapid expansion of data centers in Brazil.

Pisos Elevados Brasil, a company specializing in these solutions, has reached a milestone of 1,000 completed projects. The firm works with various materials regulated by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), including metal, slate, granite, cementitious, quartzite, and glass.
