Inspiration for Vermont Slate Carpet Tile: No Vermont property is complete without a mud room. Extreme changes in weather—with over 100 inches of snow each winter followed by a spring thaw that turns Vermont’s 8000 miles of unpaved roads into sludge—present challenges to the entry of any home or place of business. Which is why
Visit Our Video Library Identifying a Proper Path to Ground Several acceptable methods are used to ground static control flooring depending on local codes, the job conditions, and the personal preference of the contractor. The three most widely used paths to ground are: AC WALL OUTLET(circuit ground – most common,shown in example below) GROUNDING ROD(natural
To help with your ESD flooring selections, StaticWorx has curated a collection* of colorways called Winter Seascapes 2024. Paired with the gentle apricot and vibrant blue in this spectacular photo, the sand and stone in the flooring call to mind the beauty of the natural world. We hope you find these coordinating colorways as
Why Some Epoxy Coatings Measure Conductive and Still Generate Body Voltage “Epoxy floor” is a generic term for a floor coating system. There are different ways to produce these coatings and technologies have changed over the years. Early epoxy coatings consisted of resins loaded with high concentrations of carbon or graphite, and came only in

Static-dissipative tile (SDT) cannot get rid of static unless it is polished periodically with special static-dissipative polish or wax. Because performance relies on topical antistats, the surface must be rejuvenated through the life of the floor and the floor must be routinely tested to ensure compliance with ESD standards. ShadowFX Static-dissipative (SD) carpet is intrinsically
Data Centers use roughly three percent of all electricity generated on the planet. According to the article “Improving Data Center Power Consumption and Energy Efficiency,” by Senior Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer, Ali Marashi – on a global scale, data center power consumption amounts to about 416 terawatts – or roughly three percent
Written by David H. LongOriginally published in Data Center Journal, WEDNESDAY, 07 MAY 2007Updated February 28, 2021 Designers of 24/7/365 mission critical spaces such as data centers, 911 call centers, command centers, server rooms and flight control towers routinely design their spaces to withstand external threats such as weather, power outages, earthquakes and, in some cases,
Multiple factors are at play When choosing static-control flooring for an IDF room, data center or server room, multiple factors influence success and failure. Asking key questions – such as, what type of footwear will be worn in the space? Will people access open circuitry? Will you use static-free seating – help to determine the
As of January 12, 2021, ANSI/ESD S20.20 supersedes MIL-STD-1686C. Read the DoD Notice of Cancellation Mil Standard 1686 required ESD-sensitive devices to be fully enclosed in protective materials during transport, unless the risk of ESD damage could be mitigated. Most defense contractors took this requirement to mean they were required to use redundant packaging practices
