Renovate or
Replace?

Anomalie System Floors · Updated October 2026

A computer floor often lasts for decades. Even so, problems develop over time. The question then is: renovate or replace completely? More often than you might think, the answer is renovate. Anomalie is the market leader in modifying and renovating existing computer floors of any brand.

Signs that your floor needs attention

• Panels that rock, creak or have come loose
• Height differences or sagging between panels
• Damaged edges or broken panels
• A worn or detached floor covering, such as carpet tiles or laminate
• A new layout that requires cut-outs or extra load capacity

When is renovation enough?

If the pedestals and the subfloor are in good condition, renovation is usually the smartest choice. Think of replacing individual panels, adjusting or replacing pedestals, renewing the floor covering and making new cut-outs. Wherever possible we reuse the existing panels. That saves cost and material, and the work can often be done while the room stays in use.

What we can do with your existing floor

Modification and renovation is our speciality. We have the people, the machinery and the stock to make almost any existing computer floor or system floor as good as new, without replacing everything.

• Stripping and recovering panels: with our own machines we strip old carpet and other floor coverings from the panels, giving existing panels a second life.
• New subfloor, reused panels: we replace the subfloor and the substructure and relay the existing panels on top.
• Panel replacement: loose or damaged panels, including on floors from other brands.
• Pedestals and reinforcement: adjusting, replacing or adding pedestals, and reinforcing the floor with steel stringers for heavier loads.
• Cut-outs and floor boxes: making new cut-outs for cables, cabinets or cooling, and relocating floor boxes for a new layout.
• Raising, lowering and extending: adjusting the floor height, or extending the floor with a seamless connection to the existing section.
• Finishing details: stairs, ramps, edges and skirting to match the floor.

We work in phases so your space can stay in use. If required, we schedule the work outside working hours.

When is replacement the better option?

• The floor has to carry much heavier use than it was designed for.
• There is extensive damage, for example from water or fire.
• The floor height has to change significantly.
• Matching panels are no longer available and a large part of the floor is worn.
