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 in San Antonio.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in San Antonio
South Texas slabs sit on limestone and caliche rather than Gulf Coast clay, so the problems differ: hard, dry subgrade, drainage that moves water in odd directions and slabs that are often thick but not always flat. We test moisture and check flatness before we pick a base system, because an uneven slab shows up as an uneven film thickness, and film thickness drives resistance.
ESD Flooring across San Antonio
San Antonio is in Bexar County, centered on I-35, I-10, Loop 410 and Loop 1604, with US 281 running north toward the Hill Country. We serve these San Antonio areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
San Antonio work spans maintenance hangars, medical buildings and data space. These are the typical rooms.
Aerospace maintenance and avionics
Hangar bays and bench shops where electronics are pulled, tested and reinstalled.
Medical center support rooms
Labs, imaging and sterile processing near the medical corridor.
Data halls and network rooms
Slab-on-grade data space in large buildings where the floor and the racks need a shared ground.
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.

- Established 2015, Houston grown, English and Spanish service end to end.
ESD Flooring in San Antonio FAQ
Questions from San Antonio facility teams, answered the way their auditors would ask them.
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.
Do you offer free estimates in San Antonio?
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, and it is better to plan it in than to add it later. A small amount of aggregate gives grip on a wet spill without trapping dust. Safety striping and zone lines are applied with the system. Call (832) 253-3211 for your San Antonio space.
Can you handle large San Antonio jobs and multi-phase work?
A plant wide San Antonio job is a scheduling problem rather than a capability one. We phase it area by area so your operation never stops. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan it.
What system do you use for ESD static control flooring?
We lay a grounded system, not a single coat. Prep and base come first, then a conductive layer tied to ground, then the topcoat at 5 to 7 mils. Decorative flake and metallic finishes do not belong on a static control system, and we will not offer them as one. Call (832) 253-3211.
What San Antonio areas do you serve?
Fourteen service areas across the Houston, Austin and San Antonio metros, San Antonio 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 San Antonio?
Because the floor gets a number instead of an adjective. Full diamond-grind prep, a conductive system published at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1), and one crew from the grind to the topcoat on every San Antonio job. Free quote at (832) 253-3211.
What is the process for ESD static control flooring in San Antonio?
First a walkthrough and the two moisture tests, ASTM F1869 and ASTM F2170. Then grind and repair. Then the system goes down in a set order, and the last step is measuring resistance on the finished floor. We share the readings. Call (832) 253-3211 to start the San Antonio process.
Can I see examples of ESD static control flooring you have done near San Antonio?
Yes. Tell us the kind of space you run and we will share finished-floor photos and references from similar work, and where it helps, we can walk you through the system on a sample. Call (832) 253-3211.
How do I prepare my San Antonio space for ESD static control flooring?
Send us the floor plan, tell us which equipment stays, and we will tell you what to move. We do the cleaning, grinding and masking. For a static sensitive room, we also ask about live circuits and grounding points before we start. Call (832) 253-3211.
What makes a floor fail, and how do you prevent it in San Antonio?
Skipped prep and moisture, in that order. That is why the slab gets tested before anything goes down, at 8 to 10 lbs moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and under 80 percent internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170), and why we diamond-grind rather than acid etch. Done right, adhesion tested to ASTM D4541 outperforms the concrete, which fails first. The other failure is chemical: the wrong cleaner leaves an insulating film and a floor that passed on handover stops passing. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free San Antonio assessment.
Do you handle the whole ESD static control flooring job in-house in San Antonio?
We do. Prep, base, ground path, topcoat and testing are one package, so there is nobody to hand blame to. On a static floor, two trades working separately is how the layers end up mismatched. Call (832) 253-3211 for your San Antonio job.
Is ESD flooring worth it for a San Antonio facility?
If a discharge costs you a board, a drive or an audit finding, yes. The floor is a passive control that works every shift without training. S20.20 caps the person, footwear and floor system at 1.0 x 10^9 ohms, and a floor that measures well makes the rest of your program easier. Call (832) 253-3211.
How soon can you start ESD static control flooring in San Antonio?
Book the walkthrough first; that is where timing is set. We test moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869) and internal relative humidity (ASTM F2170), and once we have those we can schedule. Call (832) 253-3211 for the next open San Antonio date.
Do you take small ESD static control flooring jobs in San Antonio?
Yes. One kit covers 400 square feet at 6 mils, so a single bench area or equipment room is a normal job. We size the crew to the work, from one room to a whole plant. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free quote.
Can ESD static control flooring be installed in humid or cold weather in San Antonio?
Yes. We monitor temperature, humidity and dew point and adjust when to mix and place. Cold slows cure to 36 hours for foot traffic at 50F. Heat shortens working time. Call (832) 253-3211 for a San Antonio schedule.
Do you clean up after ESD static control flooring in San Antonio?
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?
The topcoat is a conductive carbon nanotube epoxy at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms (ASTM D257, ANSI/ESD S7.1), laid at 5 to 7 mils. The primer and base are matched to your San Antonio slab, and if the slab is wet, a moisture mitigation layer goes under it. Call (832) 253-3211 to discuss.
Will ESD static control flooring add value when selling in San Antonio?
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 San Antonio building. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free quote.
Do you offer financing for ESD static control flooring in San Antonio?
Ask us about current options. We will give you straight San Antonio pricing and work with your budget. Call (832) 253-3211.
How much does ESD static control flooring cost in San Antonio?
$4 to $14 per square foot covers most San Antonio 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 San Antonio number.
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 San Antonio quote.
Does ESD flooring need grounding?
It does, and that is the part many people overlook. The floor is a path, and a path needs a destination. We place grounding points, tie them to ground, and measure from the surface to them on the finished floor. Call (832) 253-3211 to review your San Antonio grounding plan.
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 San Antonio quote.
Is it suitable for electronics and labs?
Very much so. Typical rooms are electronics assembly, test labs, pharmaceutical support areas and server rooms. Body voltage generation measures 15 V, and the surface resists microbial growth in testing. Call (832) 253-3211 to scope your San Antonio space.
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 San Antonio quote.
