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 Kingwood
Kingwood sits low and wooded near the San Jacinto River system, and many buildings there have lived through serious flooding. A slab that has been wet can hold moisture for a long time, and a conductive system laid over it will fail at the bond. We test relative humidity inside the concrete before we recommend anything, and we will tell you if it needs mitigation.
ESD Flooring across Kingwood
Kingwood is in Harris County and part of the City of Houston, centered on US 59, Kingwood Drive and Northpark Drive. We serve these Kingwood areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
Kingwood is mostly healthcare and small professional space rather than heavy industry, so a single lab, imaging room or equipment room is a typical scope.
Imaging and diagnostic suites
Rooms with sensitive electronics where staff, carts and patients move across the same floor.
Clinic labs and sterile processing
Back-of-house rooms where instruments are cleaned, tested and staged for use.
Dental and device labs
Fabrication benches and small production labs with electronic milling and imaging equipment.
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 Kingwood FAQ
What Kingwood practices, labs and owners ask us about static control floors, answered plainly.
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 makes a floor fail, and how do you prevent it in Kingwood?
A floor that was fine at handover can stop passing for reasons nobody wrote down. We prevent that by testing the slab first, grinding to profile, and handing over readings you can repeat later with the same meter. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will review your Kingwood space.
Do you handle the whole ESD static control flooring job in-house in Kingwood?
Yes. The crew that grinds your Kingwood slab also lays the conductive layer and the topcoat, and they are the ones who take the readings. That continuity is what keeps electrical performance consistent. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is ESD flooring worth it for a Kingwood facility?
If your process is static sensitive, the floor is part of the control system rather than a finish. ANSI/ESD S20.20 caps a qualifying floor at under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground, and a floor outside that band means the rest of your ESD program is carrying the load alone. Specified properly it also takes plant traffic at 13,700 psi compressive and holds its performance instead of losing it in a year. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Kingwood assessment.
How soon can you start ESD static control flooring in Kingwood?
Typically within a week or two of the assessment. We tie the start to your calendar: shutdowns, shifts and deliveries. If you are on a deadline, say so on the first call. Call (832) 253-3211 to book your Kingwood walkthrough.
Do you take small ESD static control flooring jobs in Kingwood?
A single equipment room is a real job and not a favor. From one room to a full Kingwood 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 Kingwood?
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 Kingwood 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 Kingwood?
Yes. Grinding dust is captured with HEPA equipment, surfaces are protected, and the room is left clean. In a static sensitive area, dust control is part of the job. Call (832) 253-3211.
What primer and topcoat do you use for ESD static control flooring?
We choose the primer after the moisture test, and the topcoat is always the conductive epoxy. Ask for the product data sheets and we will send them. Call (832) 253-3211.
Will ESD static control flooring add value when selling in Kingwood?
Mostly for industrial and lab space. A documented, tested floor reduces a buyer's risk and saves them a retrofit. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will provide records for your Kingwood property.
Do you offer financing for ESD static control flooring in Kingwood?
Ask us about current options. We will give you straight Kingwood pricing and work with your budget. Call (832) 253-3211.
How much does ESD static control flooring cost in Kingwood?
$4 to $14 per square foot covers most Kingwood 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 Kingwood number.
How long does ESD static control flooring take to install in Kingwood?
Plan on two to three days per room or bay. That covers grinding, repair, build and cure to foot traffic. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will set the dates around your Kingwood operations.
How long does ESD static control flooring last in Kingwood?
Longer than most people expect. The cured topcoat is hard and abrasion resistant, so wear is not the limit; maintenance is. Get the cleaner right and the floor keeps its numbers. Call (832) 253-3211 for your Kingwood space.
Do you diamond-grind and prep before ESD static control flooring in Kingwood?
Always. Mechanical prep is the foundation of a conductive floor because the layers above it need a sound base. We record the moisture readings. Call (832) 253-3211 for a Kingwood prep plan.
Is ESD static control flooring slip resistant?
It can be. We blend in anti-slip aggregate at 32 oz per batch, matched to the room, so it grips without making cleaning difficult. The round profile texture also wipes up particulate with a microfiber pad. Ask on your free Kingwood quote at (832) 253-3211.
How do I clean and maintain ESD static control flooring?
Keep it simple: sweep or vacuum, damp mop with an approved cleaner, and test resistance on a schedule your ESD program sets. Avoid wax and polish. We give your Kingwood maintenance crew a one page procedure. Call (832) 253-3211.
How do I know the prep was done right?
You will see it. We stop after the grind so you can inspect the profile and the repairs, and we share the moisture test records. A good prep looks dull and even, never patchy. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you install ESD static control flooring in Kingwood around our business hours?
Yes. With 25 minutes of working time per batch at 70F and foot traffic back in about 24 hours, we can work after the last shift and hand the bay back before the next one. We phase the work so your Kingwood line keeps running. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you apply ESD static control flooring over an existing floor in Kingwood?
Sometimes. The test is adhesion and cleanliness, not age. We can also bond to wood, metal and non-glazed tile. A failing coating comes off first, then the slab is repaired and the system built fresh. Call (832) 253-3211 to book a Kingwood look.
What if my Kingwood slab has moisture problems?
Texas slabs push moisture, so nothing goes down until the Kingwood 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.
What resistance range does your ESD floor meet?
It depends on which grade you choose, and we install either. Conductive is published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms. Dissipative covers 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9. We verify the installed floor before handover and share the readings. Call (832) 253-3211 for a Kingwood 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 Kingwood 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 Kingwood 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 Kingwood room.
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 Kingwood quote.
Do you offer a warranty in Kingwood?
Yes, a written 1-year warranty on workmanship. It does not cover chipping, cracking or hydrostatic pressure. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will walk you through exactly what is covered.
