GroundBridge Grounding System for Floating Floor Installations

FAST, GLUELESS, ESD-SAFE INSTALLATIONS OVER ANY EXISTING SUBFLOOR

Convert any hard surface floor into a static control floor. Simply roll out GroundBridge strips, a lightweight material composed of conductive cellulose. Create a floating floor by joining the corners of ShadowFX carpet tiles using dimensionally-strong, self-adhering TacTiles®. Done. No glue. No trowels. No mess.

Ideal for floating floors: ShadowFX carpet tile, EclipseGF (glue free) conductive rubber, and GroundLock and StatLock Interlocking Tiles

Kovara® Moisture Protection

Formerly VersaShield

Moisture barrier – protection for flooring materials and adhesives against moisture and relative humidity

Kovara moisture barrier is laid above concrete floor slabs and below floor coverings to protect concrete, flooring materials and adhesives from staining, warping or mold that may result from water vapor emissions and alkaline salts infiltrating through the concrete slab.

A three-layer composite construction, Kovara has an HDPE bottom layer for moisture protection, glass mat middle layer for dimensional stability, and gray mineral top layer to enhance adhesive bond.

Interface TacTiles

With TacTiles, you install ESD Tiles over your existing floor without permanent adhesion. TacTiles adhere tiles to one another, creating a “floating floor” – making for easy installation, removal and replacement, giving you dimensional strength with individual flexibility.

With non-releasable full-spread glues, tiles are permanently stuck to the floor, requiring removal of old tiles when it’s time to replace. This may damage the substrate beneath, leaving battle scars no floor should endure. Not to mention, it doesn’t give you the freedom and control that a glue-free modular floor can provide.

Because TacTiles contain no liquid components, they virtually eliminate the issue of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). So they can be installed almost anywhere at anytime –making installation convenient for you.

Copper Grounding Strips

Copper strips link the ESD flooring installation to earth ground. 12” copper strips are placed at the periphery of the room under the conductive ground plane – conductive adhesive or GroundBridge underlayment – and connected to an earth ground such as an outlet or bus bar. Charges drain through the ESD flooring material to the conductive ground plane, cross the ground plane and are carried via copper strips to earth ground.

One 12” strip per 1000 feet of ESD flooring.

Square-Scrub Pivot Machine

for resurfacing non-ESD floors with GroundWorx permanent ESD coatings

Our Square-Scrub Pivot machines feature a pivoting head for balanced contact & easy control. The pivoting head releases the control handle from the bottom of the base, allowing the machine to pivot freely front to back to follow uneven floors more efficiently. The floating design gives the head near perfect front-to-back and side-to-side weight distribution, allowing the entire pad to make equal contact with the floor providing equal distribution of work across the entire pad. Features a sleek 7-gauge stainless steel base, the Square Scrub Pivot can handle the toughest of floor preparation jobs including: tile & grout, VCT wet or dry, wood floors, stone care, and more.

Available with 20” or 28” head.
