Antistatic Flooring – The Basics: Why Book Our ESD Workshop?

Serve your clients better by learning how to specify the right static-control floor for their application.

The Problem: Every application for ESD flooring is different. Without detailed technical knowledge, architects can easily specify the wrong static-control floor.

The Impact: The wrong floor will perform poorly and could leave sensitive electronics without adequate static protection.

The Answer: Serve your clients better by learning how to specify the right static-control floor for their application.

In our Lunch & Learn workshop, we’ll discuss:

how static-control flooring works;
why every application is different;
key industry terms;
industry standards and tests.

Technical background not required. Our hands-on CEU eliminates confusion by breaking down complex technical information into easily understood components.

Antistatic Flooring – The Basics: Why Book Our ESD Workshop?

One of the biggest surprises for me coming from the static-control industry, getting involved in the construction industry with flooring, is that in over half the cases that I see where static-control flooring has been specified, they’ve actually specified the wrong floor. Not because that floor doesn’t have conductivity, not because that floor might not have properties in it that would be very appropriate in another application, but if you don’t know the standards that you’re trying to comply with, and you don’t understand the liabilities that are associated with those standards, you could be stepping in the wrong direction, no pun intended.

Understanding the Hidden Costs of ESD flooring

The GIST: Understanding the Hidden Costs of ESD Flooring Material costs represent only part of the total cost of owning any floor, including an ESD (static-control) floor. To evaluate the full, long-term cost of the floor, it’s important to consider the cost of the floor prep and installation, as well as long-term costs to maintain

What Is ESD Flooring, How Does It Work, And How Do I Choose One?

The GIST: What is ESD Flooring?How Does ESD Flooring Work? How Do I Choose an ESD Floor? Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) flooring protects electronics from damage caused by static electricity, which accumulates as people walk. Conductive elements such as carbon, graphite or metal-coated particles, distributed throughout the flooring material, give ESD floors electrical conductivity, and create an electrical pathway

The Difference Between a Regular Floor and an ESD Floor

A lot of people want to know what's the difference between a regular floor and an ESD floor. In this video, Kimberly Petraccaro explains.

5 Ways ESD Flooring Differs from Standard Flooring

When people walk or when robots or mobile transport carts move electronic parts and assemblies across a floor, the friction between the floor and shoe soles or casters generates static electricity. Static charges stay in place until the charged person or transport device touches another person or object. If the object happens to be an
