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.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in Katy
ESD (electrostatic control) flooring controls static so it cannot damage electronics, ignite in sensitive areas, or disrupt processes. The system carries a grounded conductive layer and meets defined resistance ranges for labs, electronics manufacturing and clean spaces, and we test and document the resistance on handover.
ESD Flooring across Katy
We install ESD static control flooring throughout Katy and the west Houston, including these Katy areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
If your process can be damaged, degraded or set off by a discharge, this is the floor for it. Tell us what you are protecting and we will spec it to your facility.
Cleanrooms & Labs
Seamless surfaces with integral cove, specified alongside your gowning and airflow protocol.
Warehousing & Distribution
Pick, pack and handling areas moving sensitive product, where the floor is the ground path for everything on it.
Process & Production
Lines running solvents, powders and volatile product, where a spark is a safety problem before it is a quality one.
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 Katy FAQ
Twenty-five straight answers for Katy, and every one ends with the fastest way to get a quote.
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.
How soon can you start ESD static control flooring in Katy?
Book the walkthrough first, because that is where the slab gets tested and the two numbers that decide everything come back: moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170). Often within a week or two after that, depending on the season and the scope. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will lock your Katy date.
Do you take small ESD static control flooring jobs in Katy?
One kit covers 400 square feet at 6 mils, so a single equipment room is a real job and not a favor. From one room to a full Katy plant, we size the crew to the work. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free quote.
Can ESD static control flooring be installed in humid or cold weather in Katy?
Yes, and it is governed by numbers rather than the calendar. Material goes down between 50F and 90F, under 90 percent relative humidity, and at least 5F above the dew point. Working time runs 35 minutes at 50F, 25 at 70F and 15 at 90F, and foot traffic returns in 36 hours at 50F against 24 at 70F. On a humid Katy day we work to the dew point, which is why the floor cures right instead of blushing. Call (832) 253-3211.
Do you clean up after ESD static control flooring in Katy?
Always. We contain the grinding dust with HEPA equipment, protect the surroundings and leave your Katy space clean. On a static sensitive process that is not housekeeping, it is part of the job. Call (832) 253-3211.
What primer and topcoat 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), laid at 5 to 7 mils over a base system matched to your Katy slab. It is 100 percent solids and low odor. If the slab tests wet, a moisture mitigation layer goes under it first. Call (832) 253-3211 to discuss.
Will ESD static control flooring add value when selling in Katy?
On an industrial building, yes, and for a better reason than appearance. A floor that comes in under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground is a qualified asset the next owner or tenant can hold to ANSI/ESD S20.20 from day one, rather than a floor they have to tear out before they can run a static sensitive process in your Katy building. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free quote.
Do you offer financing for ESD static control flooring in Katy?
Ask us about current options. We will give you straight Katy pricing and work with your budget. Call (832) 253-3211.
How much does ESD static control flooring cost in Katy?
$4 to $14 per square foot covers most Katy projects. What moves the number is the resistance grade you have to hit, the condition of the slab and the square footage. We walk the space, measure it and put the price in writing, so call (832) 253-3211 for an exact Katy number.
How long does ESD static control flooring take to install in Katy?
Two to three days for a single room or bay, prep and cure included. Foot traffic returns about 24 hours after the topcoat at 70F and full cure for forklift traffic is 7 days. Plant wide Katy work gets phased area by area so the line never stops. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will scope it against your production schedule.
How long does ESD static control flooring last in Katy?
13,700 psi compressive strength and 15 to 20 mg abrasion loss (ASTM D695 and ASTM D4060) is what the cured system is built to, which is why a properly prepped Katy floor runs a decade or more under daily traffic. Prep is the variable, not the product. Backed by a written warranty. Get yours quoted at (832) 253-3211.
Do you diamond-grind and prep before ESD static control flooring in Katy?
Yes, down to clean profiled concrete before any product goes down, and the Katy slab gets tested first. Moisture vapor emission has to come in at 8 to 10 lbs (ASTM F1869) and internal relative humidity under 80 percent (ASTM F2170). Adhesion over properly prepared concrete pulls 400 psi and fails in the concrete rather than at the bond line. Book your Katy assessment at (832) 253-3211.
Is ESD static control flooring slip resistant?
Yes. Anti-slip aggregate goes in at 32 oz per batch, tuned to the space so it meets your safety requirement without making the floor hard to clean. The cured texture is round profile, so a microfiber pad lifts particulate instead of dragging it around. Ask about it on your free Katy quote at (832) 253-3211.
How do I clean and maintain ESD static control flooring?
A floor handed over at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms can be pushed out of spec by one wrong cleaner. Wax and film forming cleaners leave an insulating layer on top, and that is the most common reason a working static control floor stops passing its own test. Use a cleaner approved for static control floors and nothing else. The surface is seamless, so no grout lines hold dirt, and we leave your Katy maintenance crew the written procedure. Call (832) 253-3211.
Do you offer a warranty on ESD static control flooring in Katy?
Yes, a written one-year workmanship warranty on every Katy install, and we walk the finished floor with you before we call it done. Details at (832) 253-3211.
Can you install ESD static control flooring in Katy around our business hours?
Working time is 25 minutes per batch at 70F and foot traffic returns in about 24 hours, so a bay can go down after last shift and be walked on before the next one. We schedule nights and weekends and phase the work area by area so your Katy line keeps running. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan it around your shift schedule.
Can you apply ESD static control flooring over an existing floor in Katy?
Often yes, and the deciding number is adhesion: over properly prepared concrete this system pulls 400 psi and fails in the concrete, not at the bond line (ASTM D4541). It also bonds to wood, metal and non-glazed tile. A failing coating comes off first, mechanically. We assess the existing Katy floor, remove what has to go, repair the slab, then rebuild. We never paint over a bad floor. Book an assessment at (832) 253-3211.
What if my Katy slab has moisture problems?
Texas slabs push moisture, so nothing goes down until the Katy slab is tested. The limits are 8 to 10 lbs moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and under 80 percent internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170). Over that, a moisture mitigation layer goes in first. Cured, the system runs 0.08 perms and under 0.05 percent water absorption, so it will not bubble or delaminate. Start it right, call (832) 253-3211.
Do you repair cracks before ESD static control flooring in Katy?
All of it, before the system goes down, because the topcoat lays at 5 to 7 mils and 6 mils of coating hides nothing. Crack, joint and spall repair is part of Katy prep, not an add-on we discover later. Book your repair and quote at (832) 253-3211.
What colors and finishes can I get with ESD static control flooring in Katy?
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 Katy 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 Katy?
Industrial, and that is the point of the system: electronics assembly, cleanrooms, labs and testing facilities, battery and electric vehicle plants, aerospace, data server rooms, packaging lines, aircraft hangars, and any Katy area carrying a dust or explosion risk. It is rated for heavy duty forklift and manufacturing traffic at 13,700 psi compressive. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan your project.
What resistance range does your ESD floor meet?
We install the conductive grade, published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1). The dissipative grade of the same family runs 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms if your program specifies that band instead, and ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground either way. We verify the readings before handover. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Katy quote.
Does ESD flooring need grounding?
Yes, and it is what makes the number mean anything: resistance is measured TO GROUND, so a floor with no path to earth has no spec. We install a grounded conductive layer with grounding points so charge drains safely, which is what puts the floor under the 1 x 10^9 ohm ceiling ANSI/ESD S20.20 sets. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Katy quote.
Which standards does it meet?
ANSI/ESD S20.20 is the program standard and ANSI/ESD S7.1 with ASTM D257 is how the floor itself is measured. The system also meets USDA, FDA, EPA and SCAQMD requirements, carries a Class 1 flame spread rating (ASTM E648) and is eligible for LEED points. We document the test results for your records. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Katy quote.
Is it suitable for electronics and labs?
That is exactly what it is specified for: electronics assembly and production, cleanrooms, labs and testing facilities, data server rooms, pharmaceutical and processing areas, battery plants and aircraft hangars. Body voltage generation stays at 15 V under ANSI/ESD STM 97.2, and the cured surface passes ASTM G21 microbial resistance with zero growth. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Katy quote.
Do you test and document the performance?
Yes. We measure resistance across the floor and hand you the documentation on completion. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Katy quote.
