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 Spring.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in Spring
Spring sits on I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, and the buildings along them are mostly tilt-wall units with a front office and a back bay. When a tenant moves a controls shop or a small assembly line into one of those bays, the floor underneath was poured for storage. Turning it into a measured ground path starts with finding out what the slab is doing with moisture.
ESD Flooring across Spring
Spring is in Harris County, with a corner of Montgomery County to the north. We work it from I-45 across to the Grand Parkway, including these Spring areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
In Spring's flex buildings the scope is often a single bay, a single room or one line. That is a normal size for us.
Tilt-wall tenant bays
A rear bay converted from storage to controls or assembly, where the original slab never saw a moisture test.
Instrument and controls shops
Panel build and calibration benches where operators and carts need one ground reference.
Labs in business parks
Small test and QA labs inside flex space off the Hardy Toll Road and Spring Cypress Road.
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 Spring FAQ
Plain answers for Spring tenants and owners, with a number to call for each.
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.
Can you install ESD static control flooring in Spring around our business hours?
Yes, and it is common. Work is staged by area, with access and cure windows agreed in advance. Cure time at 70F is about 24 hours for foot traffic. Call (832) 253-3211 to plan around your Spring operations.
Can you apply ESD static control flooring over an existing floor in Spring?
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 Spring 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 Spring slab has moisture problems?
Moisture decides whether a floor lasts, so we measure it first at several spots and record the readings. If it is over the limit, we install a mitigation layer. Nothing goes down on a wet Spring slab. Call (832) 253-3211.
Do you repair cracks before ESD static control flooring in Spring?
Always, and it is part of prep. We probe the slab, repair what moves and fill what does not, then grind flush. Slabs move over time, and fixing cracks first keeps the ground path intact. Call (832) 253-3211.
What colors and finishes can I get with ESD static control flooring in Spring?
The color choice is narrower than on a decorative floor because the topcoat has to conduct. You can choose a solid color, add striping, and pick a UV stable version for daylight rooms. Call (832) 253-3211 for a Spring sample.
Is ESD static control flooring good for commercial spaces in Spring?
That is the typical use. In Spring 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?
Compare on measured resistance, not appearance. Ordinary epoxy and polished concrete are insulators, so charge sits on them. A conductive floor at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms drains it quickly, and a dissipative floor at 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms drains it more slowly. Your ESD program picks the band. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will help you choose.
Will ESD flooring in Spring handle forklifts, pallet jacks and heavy point loads?
13,700 psi compressive, 9,000 psi flexural, 120 in-lbs impact and 85 Shore D hardness (ASTM D695, D790, D2794 and D2240). It is specified for heavy duty forklift and manufacturing areas. Full cure before vehicle traffic is 7 days. Free Spring quote at (832) 253-3211.
When can I use the floor after ESD static control flooring in Spring?
Plan on light foot traffic the next day, and no vehicles until day 7. We stage the work so the area you need first is the area we finish first. Anything over a day or two is phased, so your Spring operation does not stop. Call (832) 253-3211 to build the schedule.
What kind of facilities need ESD flooring in Spring?
The short list is any Spring space where a discharge ruins product or starts a fire: electronics assembly, labs, data rooms, battery plants, avionics shops, medical device repair, and areas handling flammable vapor or powder. If your program cites ANSI/ESD S20.20, the floor has to measure under 1 x 10^9 ohms to ground. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us what you are protecting.
Is ESD static control flooring chemical and stain resistant?
Rated in the best category against motor oil, jet fuel, premium gasoline, brake fluid, hydraulic fluid, 30 percent ammonia, 50 percent caustic soda, 20 percent sodium chloride and hard well water. Some solvents are not recommended, and we will say so rather than find out on your floor: acetone, MEK, methanol, ethanol and 37 percent battery acid among them. Tell us what gets spilled in your Spring space and you get a straight answer. Call (832) 253-3211.

Do you offer free estimates in Spring?
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. We blend anti-slip aggregate into the system at 32 oz per kit and add striping and zone markings in the colors your Spring safety plan uses. Aggregate is tuned so carts still roll and the floor still cleans. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you handle large Spring jobs and multi-phase work?
Size is a scheduling question for us. We agree an order with you, usually around shifts and deliveries, and we finish and test one area before we start the next. That is how a Spring plant stays open during a large install. Call (832) 253-3211.
What system do you use for ESD static control flooring?
The system is a base layer, a grounded conductive layer with connection points, and a topcoat. The topcoat carries the published resistance. A dissipative version of the same family is available if your program asks for the 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohm band. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us which band your Spring spec names.
What Spring areas do you serve?
Fourteen service areas across the Houston, Austin and Spring metros, Spring 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 Spring?
Static control floors fail from skipped prep and unmeasured results, not from bad intentions. We grind every slab, test moisture before coating, and test the finished floor in place. You get the readings in writing. Call (832) 253-3211 for a Spring quote.
What is the process for ESD static control flooring in Spring?
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 Spring schedule before we start. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can I see examples of ESD static control flooring you have done near Spring?
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.
What resistance range does your ESD floor meet?
Conductive, at 2.5 x 10^4 to 10^6 ohms. That drains charge fast. Your program might want slower, in the dissipative band of 10^6 to 1.0 x 10^9 ohms, and we can supply that grade. The ceiling of 1 x 10^9 ohms applies either way. Call (832) 253-3211 and tell us which your Spring spec cites.
Does ESD flooring need grounding?
Without grounding, a conductive floor is just a conductive floor. We install the ground connections during the build and verify them at handover, which is what lets the floor meet the 1 x 10^9 ohm system ceiling in S20.20. Call (832) 253-3211.
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 Spring 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 Spring space.
Do you test and document the performance?
Yes. We measure resistance in multiple spots on the finished floor, record the readings, and hand you the documentation. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Spring quote.
