Delran, N.J. — June 15, 2015 — FreeAxez, the leading provider of whole-building adaptive cabling distribution systems, recently announced the launch of its latest versions of Gridd and Gridd Power. These systems provide easy underfloor access to a facility’s cables and wiring, offering high performance and versatility for today’s modern commercial and high-technology environments.
The product launch, announced at NeoCon 2015, signifies the next generation of cable management systems:
• Gridd is a UL-listed, modular, all-steel, adaptive cabling distribution system that safely distributes cables throughout a building directly beneath the finished floor.
• Gridd Power is a 50-amp electrical bus track system that allows devices and furniture to easily connect to electricity in the Gridd system.
“Whole-building cabling distribution systems are the future of commercial and high-tech environments,” said Earl Geertgens, CEO of FreeAxez. “Gridd is a catalyst for adaptive and collaborative space as it allows for commercial layouts to be reconfigured easily, quickly, and at a significant cost savings to traditional raised-flooring systems and other wiring methods.”
Gridd is a safer, more flexible solution, negating the need to access wiring in awkward or inaccessible spaces. As the category leader with 25 years’ experience, FreeAxez has created a revolutionary design that solves long-standing sustainable challenges attributed to traditional methods of cable distribution in buildings. It does this by facilitating adaptive reuse and enhancing building resiliency, material reduction, indoor air quality, fire safety, and the overall health, safety, and welfare of building occupants.
Gridd significantly reduces the time, hassle, and costs associated with traditional wiring methods. Installation takes less than half the time of a post and panel raised floor, leading to significant savings in labor costs.
The Gridd system can be repositioned, redeployed, reused, or recycled in its original state, in any building. FreeAxez offers clients hands-on support throughout every phase of the project, including lifetime support of every building where its Gridd system is employed.
Gridd is entirely made in the U.S. with locally harvested raw material and American-manufactured steel. The product is Greenspec listed and can contribute to LEED credits in five categories: building reuse, construction waste management, materials reuse, recycled content, and regional materials.
FreeAxez’s innovative building systems have received numerous excellence awards, including “Best of NeoCon” Gold Award in Workplace Technologies (2006, 2014) and recently, “Best of Show” at InfoComm 2014, to name a few.
The Gridd system can be found in diverse locations ranging in size from intimate sound studios to state-of-the-art office buildings and universities.
