Outdoor panels eliminate the need for two different products or finishes in the interior and exterior areas of a commercial building. Outdoor panels use the same manufacturing process as our STONEWORKS® panels, so the finish can be continuous. Our outdoor panels offer industry-leading strength and durability. Designed with a sheet of e-coated steel laminated to the bottom of the panel and tested to CISCA access floor criteria, Tate's outdoor panels supply a long-lasting exterior finish.

*All tests are performed using CISCA's Recommended Test Procedures for Access Floors with the exception of Design Load
1. System Design Load is based on permanent set ≤ 0.010” and is verified by loading panels in accordance with the CISCA concentrated load method but with panels installed on actual understructure instead of steel blocks. (Testing on blocks does not represent performance of an actual installation.) Ultimate, Rolling, and Impact Load tests are performed using CISCA Test Procedures.
2. Safety Factor is Ultimate Load divided by Design Load.
