Specifications
The numbers a plant engineer asks for
New Era installs the conductive grade. Here is the resistance band it is published at, how that compares with the dissipative grade, and the rest of the cured properties, so you can check the floor against your own ESD program before anybody quotes it.
Conductive
2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms
Charge drains fastest in this band. Tested to ASTM D257 and ANSI/ESD S7.1.
Dissipative
10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms
The band most electronics assembly programs specify. Available if yours calls for it.

Values are the manufacturer published figures for the conductive system New Era installs. ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground and requires the finished floor to be tested in place, so treat these as the system specification and not as a substitute for your own acceptance test. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will spec it against your program. New Era's dedicated static control site has the standard broken down in plain terms, plus static control flooring installers serving the Houston area.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in Cypress
Newer tilt-wall slabs along the 290 corridor are often poured, covered and occupied quickly, which is exactly when moisture still moving through the concrete causes trouble for a coating that does not breathe. For an ESD system that is worse than for a plain epoxy, because a blister or a lifted edge is also a break in the ground path. That is why the slab tests come first here.
ESD Flooring across Cypress
Cypress is in northwest Harris County, centered on US 290 and the Grand Parkway, with Barker Cypress Road and FM 1960 as the main cross streets. We serve these Cypress areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
Cypress jobs are typically new or recent buildings. These are the spaces that ask us for static control.
Electronics warehousing
Receiving and kitting areas in tilt-wall buildings that handle boards, drives and modules.
Contract assembly bays
Small production lines in flex industrial space that need a floor with a number behind it.
Testing and calibration rooms
Instrument shops where operators work seated and a rolling chair is also a charge source.
How a static control floor actually goes down
Five stages. The last one is the one most contractors skip, and it is the only one that proves the floor does what the spec says.
Diamond grind the slab
Mechanical prep to clean, profiled concrete. No acid etch, no bonding to a surface that was never opened up.
Repair and level
Cracks, joints and spalls cut out and filled, moisture tested first and primed if the slab is pushing.
Lay the ground path
The conductive layer and its grounding connections, which is the part that makes it a static control floor instead of a coloured one.
Build the system
Base, conductive media and topcoat to the thickness your spec calls for, phased area by area so the line keeps running.
Test it and hand over readings
Point to point and point to ground measured on the finished floor, in writing. A floor nobody measured is a floor nobody can certify.

ESD Flooring in Cypress FAQ
What Cypress building owners and operators ask us, in plain terms, each with a way to reach New Era.
Where a floor has to land
Static control flooring is bought and sold on one number, resistance to ground in ohms. This is that scale. New Era installs in the conductive band, and ANSI/ESD S20.20 will not qualify a floor to the right of the ceiling marked here.
New Era installs in the conductive band, 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms.
What colors and finishes can I get with ESD static control flooring in Cypress?
Solid colors in a gloss finish. The pigment load is part of the electrical package on a conductive floor, so decorative flake, metallic effects and inlaid logos are not on the table the way they are on a shop floor, and anyone offering them on a static control system is selling you something else. Epoxy ambers under UV, so a Cypress space with real daylight gets the UV stable version. Safety striping and zone markings we do add. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is ESD static control flooring good for commercial spaces in Cypress?
That is the typical use. In Cypress it suits production lines, labs and equipment rooms, and the reason is practical: the floor carries ground to every cart, chair and operator in the space. It also handles heavy traffic at 13,700 psi compressive. Call (832) 253-3211 to talk through your layout.
How does ESD static control flooring compare to other floor options?
The comparison that matters is resistance, not looks. Conductive runs 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms and dissipative runs 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms, and ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground. Below that band you are draining charge faster; above it you are outside the standard. Which one you need is set by your own ESD program, and we will walk you through it at no cost. Call (832) 253-3211.
Will ESD flooring in Cypress handle forklifts, pallet jacks and heavy point loads?
Yes. The cured system tests at 13,700 psi compressive and 9,000 psi flexural, with 85 Shore D hardness, so wheeled traffic does not crush or wear a path through it. Full cure for vehicles takes 7 days. If a lift or racking will sit on a specific spot in your Cypress building, show us the spot. Call (832) 253-3211.
When can I use the floor after ESD static control flooring in Cypress?
It depends on what is crossing it. People: about 24 hours at 70F. Carts: ask us, because wheel type matters. Forklifts: 7 days. We give you the dates in writing before the Cypress job starts. Call (832) 253-3211.
What kind of facilities need ESD flooring in Cypress?
Mostly places where people handle sensitive parts: circuit board assembly lines, kitting areas, calibration labs, server rooms and repair counters. Then a second group where static is a safety issue, like fuel handling and solvent blending. We would rather scope one room properly than coat a building. Call (832) 253-3211 for a Cypress assessment.
Is ESD static control flooring chemical and stain resistant?
The topcoat is rated in the best category against oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids and common alkalis, and it wipes clean. What it does not like is aggressive solvent, so we ask what you use before we pick the build. For Cypress labs, the cleaner you choose is the bigger question. Call (832) 253-3211.

Do you offer free estimates in Cypress?
Always, and it includes the two slab tests that decide the whole system: moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170), plus an assessment of whatever is already down. We measure, talk through the options and put the pricing in writing at no cost. Call (832) 253-3211 and we typically respond within 24 hours.
Can you add anti-slip or safety features to ESD static control flooring?
Yes. Anti-slip aggregate blends in at 32 oz per kit, and we add safety striping, zone markings and high visibility lines wherever the Cypress plant needs them. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you handle large Cypress jobs and multi-phase work?
Yes. A large Cypress floor is split into zones, and each zone is ground, built and cured in sequence while the rest of the building keeps running. Each zone is tested before we move on. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan a phased schedule.
What system do you use for ESD static control flooring?
A conductive carbon nanotube epoxy topcoat, published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1). It is 100 percent solids and low odor, and it lays over a prepared base system at 5 to 7 mils. The dissipative grade of the same family runs 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms if your program calls for that band instead. Decorative flake, metallic and polished concrete are not static control systems and we will not sell them to you as one. Call (832) 253-3211.
What Cypress areas do you serve?
Fourteen service areas across the Houston, Cypress and San Antonio metros, Cypress included, plus the surrounding Texas markets. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will confirm we cover your address and book a free estimate.
Why choose New Era for ESD static control flooring in Cypress?
We treat the floor as part of your ESD program. That means tests before and after, one crew from start to finish, and documentation you can hand an auditor. One crew, start to finish. Call (832) 253-3211.
What is the process for ESD static control flooring in Cypress?
It runs in order: test the slab, diamond grind, repair, prime, lay the conductive layer and its grounding points, build, topcoat, then measure. Foot traffic returns at 24 hours and full cure is 7 days. You get the Cypress schedule before we start. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can I see examples of ESD static control flooring you have done near Cypress?
We can share recent project photos and references, and the best proof for ESD is the test log of a finished floor, which we can describe for you. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will pull examples that fit your Cypress space.
How do I prepare my Cypress space for ESD static control flooring?
Clear the floor, tell us what cannot move, and keep the space between 50F and 90F. We handle degreasing, grinding, repairs and masking and contain dust with HEPA equipment. We agree access and the Cypress window before we arrive. Call (832) 253-3211.
What makes a floor fail, and how do you prevent it in Cypress?
Three things: skipped prep, moisture in the slab, and the wrong cleaner afterward. We diamond-grind instead of acid etching, test with ASTM F1869 and ASTM F2170 before we coat, and leave you a cleaning procedure for static floors. Adhesion pulls 400 psi and fails in the concrete, not at the bond. Call (832) 253-3211.
Do you handle the whole ESD static control flooring job in-house in Cypress?
Yes. One New Era crew handles prep, install and topcoat in Cypress, no subcontractors passing the buck. It matters more here than on a normal floor, because the electrical performance depends on the base system and the topcoat being installed as one package rather than by two trades. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is ESD flooring worth it for a Cypress facility?
Compare it to the alternative: mats, straps and constant checking. A grounded floor does not forget, and in Cypress buildings where visitors, contractors and new hires all walk through, that matters. Specified well, it also holds up under 13,700 psi compressive loads. Call (832) 253-3211.
What resistance range does your ESD floor meet?
Our standard system is the conductive grade at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1). If your program specifies the dissipative range, 10^6 up to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms, the same family covers it. ANSI/ESD S20.20 sets the system ceiling under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Cypress quote.
Does ESD flooring need grounding?
Yes. Resistance is measured to ground, so a conductive layer with no connection to earth cannot drain anything. We install the layer with grounding points tied to your building ground so charge has somewhere to go, then test that connection. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Cypress quote.
Which standards does it meet?
S20.20 for the program, S7.1 and D257 for the floor measurement, ASTM E648 for flame spread. We provide the paperwork and the test results so your quality team can file them. Call (832) 253-3211 for your Cypress quote.
Is it suitable for electronics and labs?
It is. Lab and electronics floors need a controlled surface that is also seamless and easy to clean, and this system is all three. We coordinate with your gowning and cleaning procedures. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us about your Cypress room.
Do you test and document the performance?
We do, and the readings are yours to keep. If an auditor asks how the floor was verified, you have the numbers and where they were taken. Call (832) 253-3211 for your Cypress space.
