Realizing you need an ESD floor—also known as an antistatic floor or static-control floor—is only the beginning. How can you be sure you’re choosing the right floor for your application and environment? Will people wear special ESD footwear in the space? Do you know the ESD standards specific to your industry? What are your objectives? In addition to static control, do you care most about aesthetics? Durability? Cleanliness? Wear?
Here you’ll find all the information you need to start your ESD journey. For technical information, check out our comprehensive Guide to ESD Flooring.
With a StaticWorx ESD floor, you get permanent static control – backed by a lifetime guaranty.
ShadowFX Static-Dissipative (SD) Carpet Tile
Our ESD carpet tiles and planx provide the durability and high performance you expect of all StaticWorx floors – in soothing earth-tone patterns that flow seamlessly across the surface of the floor in brick, ashlar, non-directional, quarter-turn and monolithic installations.
If you’re looking for a durable, mid-cost ESD floor and want to impress with a clean, hospital-like shine, take a look at our AmeriWorx vinyl. Or AmeriWorx Rox, our ESD vinyl collection inspired by nature.

This comprehensive guide helps specifiers choose the right ESD floor for specific applications. Charts, graphs, and illustrations simplify technical details.
ESD standards vary from industry to industry. This is in part due to whether or not people are required to wear ESD-protective footwear. ESD footwear inhibits charge generation and protects the wearer against potential electrical shock if the floor is too conductive. Electronics manufacturing and handling facilities, requiring ESD footwear, follow ANSI/ESD S20.20:
Resistance = < 1.0 x 10E9
Charge generation = < 100 V
In data and telecom centers, networked offices, 9-1-1- dispatch, FAA flight towers, and other end-user facilities, where people do not wear protective footwear, the floor needs to eliminate charge generation. And if people are working near energized (electrified) equipment, safety standards require resistance ranges in the dissipative (as opposed to conductive) range.
Resistance = > 1.0 x 10E6 and < 1.0 x 10E9
Charge generation = < 500 V
Our guides show you standards by industry, and which standards apply to which application.
We realize an ESD floor is an investment. Whether you’re an architect, contractor, facility manager, or property owner, you have a lot at stake – time, money, perhaps even your reputation.
If you choose to work with us, here’s what you can expect:
Public Safety and Telecommunications standards and guidelines for the installation of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities for communications sites. Appendix C: Protecting against electrostatic discharge in equipment rooms and dispatch centers.
C.3.3 Flooring
Carpeting or floor tiles within an equipment room or dispatch center, including raised flooring, should have a resistance to ground measurement of between 10E6 and 10E10 ohms when measured using the test method of ANSI/ESD STM7.1-2001 or later.
This commercial standard is used for network-operated dispatch operations, such as 9-1-1 call centers.
This telecommunications industry standard covers new installations of network operator-type equipment positions in which personnel are required to access a computer terminal keyboard while continually wearing a headset.
Section 4: Measures for Controlling Electrostatic Discharge: 4.2 Flooring
Any carpeting or floor tiles should have a resistance to ground between 10E6 and 10E10 ohms when measured using the method of ESD -S7.1.
110 ε 5.8.9 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Control Flooring and Floor Coverings
ESD control floors and floor coverings shall have a point-to-point resistance and a surface-to-ground resistance of greater than 1.0 × 10E6 ohms and less than 1.0 × 10E9 ohms (ANSI/ESD STM7.1).
Network Operator Dispatch Call Centers See: http://standards.globalspec.com/std/9920406/atis-0600321
ESD Association Standard for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge Control Program for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment.
Resistive Characterization of Flooring Materials in Environmentally ProtectedAreas (EPA).
Point to Point: < 1.0 × 10E9 ohms
Point to Groundable Point: < 1.0 × 10E9 ohms
Resistance of Footwear/Flooring System
< 1.0 × 10E9 ohms
Resistance of Footwear/Flooring System
< 100 volts Peak
