Use cases

Raised floor tile material classification with load capacity, fire rating, and conductivity properties.

TILEMATERIAL is a lookup entity referenced by TILE records to classify the construction material (e.g. steel, aluminium, calcium sulphate, wood core). It captures material-specific properties that affect tile selection: load rating range (min/max in lbs) for structural planning, fire rating classification for safety compliance, and electrical conductivity (conductive, static dissipative, non-conductive) which is critical in data centres where ESD protection is required. The isActive flag allows deprecating materials no longer specified without losing historical references. This entity works alongside TILETYPE and TILESIZE to give each TILE a complete physical specification.
