Flex contracted StaticWorx to replace their worn tile with an ESD coating. For the floor finish, the client selected GroundWorx Ultra Generation 3 ESD epoxy. Phase 1 of this project (total: 300,000 square feet) consisted of removing the existing tile, preparing the concrete subfloor, and applying 70,000 sq.ft. of GroundWorx ESD epoxy. Progressive Building Systems, the flooring installers, finished Phase 1 in 3 weeks, with both the work and completion time exceeding expectations.
