Our ESD Carpet Tile, manufactured by StaticWorx , is designed to withstand heavy abuse, outperforms most other conductive esd flooring. With its tightly woven, high denier construction, heavy equipment rolls easily across the carpeted floor.
Less expensive than most hard-surface floors, our static control modular tiles are easy to install, maintain and replace. ESD carpet tile offers permanent static protection at an affordable price.
Ideal for areas where people are unlikely to wear protective wrist or heel straps, ESD Carpet Tile offers unfettered mobility in data storage and mission critical command centers or flight towers.
Checklist for choosing static control flooring
Are you preparing for a new or renovation project for a data center? A simple overlooked finish is your flooring and ensuring that the data center and its immediate area are static free. The following is a checklist when choosing static control flooring:
Only conductive floors can be grounded. Standard flooring installed with ground strips or conductive adhesive will not offer any static protection.
Any effective conductive floor can be verified with an ohm meter to determine the electrical resistance of the material. If the material does not pass the ohm meter test than it cannot be grounded.
Conductive floors should never require any antistatic sprays or waxes to enhance or maintain performance. The conductivity should be achieved by the actual permanent physical composition of the material.
The floor should reduce static electricity regardless of relative humidity. Ask the supplier specifically about performance in very dry conditions.
The floor must prevent static buildup in real world conditions without special conductive shoes or shoe straps. When in doubt, ask for independent test data verifying this property. It should be available. The data should come from an installed floor and not from a lab test of new flooring.
Never assume that a shock-free environment means a static-free environment. A shock-free environment only means that static charges are below 3500 Volts.
Do the homework up front. It is much more costly to remove an ineffective floor and replace it than it is to do it right the first time. Any mission-critical space is only as secure as its Achilles heel.
Even if your present electronics are immune to static, if at some point in the future they will be upgraded or replaced with state-of- the-art equipment, then static will be a problem. As with any potential security breach, it is always best to plan ahead.
