What is ESD Epoxy Flooring?
These ESD floor finishes are essential in places where even a minor static shock can have catastrophic results. ESD floors are designed to remove the risk of static charge from causing damage to sensitive equipment. They also can be used in applications where there is an explosive risk due to volatile chemicals, munitions, etc.
Experienced ESD Flooring Systems Professionals
Installing technical and difficult ESD floor coatings takes experienced supervisors and installers. They also should have the proper construction experience to work alongside the other trades working in the space.

Benefits of ESD Epoxy Floors
Seamless
There are no cracks or gaps in the floor to collect contaminants.
Durable
ESD epoxy floors can be designed to stand up to varying levels of use. Everything from basic foot traffic all the way up to forklifts and scissor lifts with rubber wheels, for example.
Non-Slip
ESD Epoxy floors offer excellent slip resistant characteristics.
Cleanability
These floors are highly cleanable, leading to easy maintenance.
Chemical Resistance
We can help you design a floor that will hold up to various different chemical spills.

Designing and Installing an Appropriate ESD Floor
Cost
It’s no surprise that ESD floors are expensive. We’ll review numerous options with you. From there, we’ll help you spec a floor that is cost effective while still meeting your requirements.
Durability
Durability is always a major concern when dealing with an expensive ESD Floor install. Therefore, it’s important that the floor you choose will stand up to your specific requirements. This means your ESD floor can be as simple as a basic two coat floor. Alternately, it could end up floor with six or greater coats if the application calls for it.
These coats can be fully epoxy or can be a combination of urethane cement, epoxy as well as the option of adding an ESD urethane top coat for added durability and a high gloss appearance.
Grounding Needs for ESD Flooring
More basic static discharge control floors may not require grounding. More technical floor coverings typically require a copper ground strap to be installed at every 1,000 square feet of flooring installed. We work to meet all manufacturer’s requirements during installation.
Electrostatic Dissipative vs. Electrostatic Conductive Floors
Your installation may require limited anti-static flooring, or more substantial static management. Electrostatic conductive floors offer resistance up to 1,000,000 Ω. Meanwhile, static dissipative floors fall between 1,000,000 Ω and 1,000,000,000 Ω. Conductive floors tend to be more expensive while dissipative floors are less expensive as a whole.
Conductive floors are typically used in environments where mitigating explosions is the primary concern. Electrostatic dissipative floors are used to protect sensitive electronic components. Regardless of the specs for your floor, we can provide an appropriate flooring solution.
Decorative ESD Epoxy Flooring Options
Another consideration when designing an ESD floor is what it should look like. Basic single color floors are typically grey or off white color. Typically, a limited palette of reds, greens, yellows etc. are available from most manufacturers as well. However, building a decorative ESD epoxy floor is also possible.
We can add a variety of aggregate into the floor. This can include vinyl flake, colored quartz sand blends, mica and even metallic pigments. Some manufacturers also allow for custom single color matching.
In short, we can typically design an ESD floor to achieve whatever look you are going for.
Our team works closely with you to ensure lasting performance, durability, and a finish that fits your space perfectly.

Contacted via the info email on their website and heard back within a couple hours. I appreciate the response. It seems like for every 4 inquiries I make for anything, I’m lucky to get more than one reply. To me this is a huge indicator of what you can expect from the organization.
