Specifications
The numbers a plant engineer asks for
New Era installs the conductive grade. Here is the resistance band it's 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'll 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 Spring and Tomball area.
What esd flooring is, and why it works in Tomball
Where flammable vapor or powder is present, a static spark is an ignition question and your safety engineer owns that answer. What the floor contributes is a controlled path to ground that does not drift over time. We install the grounded conductive layer, test it in place, and give you readings your safety and quality people can file.
ESD Flooring across Tomball
Tomball is in northwest Harris County, near the Montgomery County line, along SH 249, FM 2920 and the Grand Parkway. We serve these Tomball areas:
Where static control flooring goes in
Tomball buildings are usually shop floors, not offices. Here is where ESD flooring tends to go in.
Control panel and instrument shops
Wiring and test benches building panels for field equipment, where operators handle bare boards all day.
Hazardous process areas
Blending, filling and storage rooms where static is managed as a safety hazard under your own program.
Electronics repair counters
Service departments for drilling, pumping and telecom electronics that arrive dirty and leave tested.
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 Tomball FAQ
Questions from Tomball shops and plants, answered the way a plant engineer would want 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.
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 Tomball space and you get a straight answer. Call (832) 253-3211.

Do you offer free estimates in Tomball?
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?
We can. Texture, striping, aisle lines, hazard zones and equipment outlines all go in as part of the floor, not as tape you have to replace. Tell us what your Tomball safety program expects. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you handle large Tomball 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 Tomball plant stays open during a large install. Call (832) 253-3211.
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 Tomball areas do you serve?
Fourteen service areas across the Houston, Tomball and San Antonio metros, Tomball 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 Tomball?
Because we give you numbers: the resistance band the system is published at, the standard it is measured to, and the readings from your own finished floor. One crew does the grind, the ground path and the topcoat in Tomball. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free quote.
What is the process for ESD static control flooring in Tomball?
Test, grind, repair, prime, build, topcoat. The slab gets tested first (ASTM F1869 and ASTM F2170), then we diamond-grind to clean profiled concrete, repair cracks and joints, prime where the slab needs it, then lay the conductive topcoat at 5 to 7 mils. Foot traffic at 24 hours, full cure at 7 days. You get the Tomball schedule up front. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can I see examples of ESD static control flooring you have done near Tomball?
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 Tomball space.
How do I prepare my Tomball 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 Tomball window before we arrive. Call (832) 253-3211.
What makes a floor fail, and how do you prevent it in Tomball?
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 Tomball assessment.
Do you handle the whole ESD static control flooring job in-house in Tomball?
Yes. One New Era crew handles prep, install and topcoat in Tomball, 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 Tomball 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 Tomball assessment.
How soon can you start ESD static control flooring in Tomball?
After the walkthrough and slab tests. Those come first because the results change the base system. Start dates then depend on the season and the scope. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will give you a firm Tomball date once the tests are in.
Do you take small ESD static control flooring jobs in Tomball?
Small rooms are welcome. The prep and testing do not shrink with the floor, but we will keep the crew and schedule in proportion to the Tomball space. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free quote.
Can ESD static control flooring be installed in humid or cold weather in Tomball?
The calendar does not matter; conditions do. If the slab is above the dew point and in range, we install. In Tomball, that sometimes means a morning start or climate control. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will plan around the weather.
Do you clean up after ESD static control flooring in Tomball?
Always. Debris leaves with us, and we leave the Tomball space ready to use after cure. Clean matters more on an ESD job because contamination can affect the surface. 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 Tomball 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 Tomball?
It can, in the right buyer's eyes. Tenants running electronics want a floor that is already in spec, and documentation from the install helps a Tomball listing. 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 Tomball spec cites.
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 Tomball grounding plan.
Which standards does it meet?
ANSI/ESD S20.20 is the program standard; the floor itself is measured with ANSI/ESD S7.1 and ASTM D257. The system also carries Class 1 flame spread (ASTM E648) and meets USDA, FDA, EPA and SCAQMD requirements. We keep the test records with your handover file. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free Tomball 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 Tomball quote.
Do you test and document the performance?
Every floor, every time. Readings are taken after the system cures and are given to you in writing so you can keep them with your ESD program records. Call (832) 253-3211.
