An anti-static floor is needed in a wide variety of businesses, but it can also come in very useful in the home space. It is also a highly demanded feature in offices, due to the great amount of static electricity that is accumulated there.

However, what is an anti-static floor? How does it work?

The anti-static floor is used to impede the creation of electrostatic discharge. This, also known as ESD, is the abrupt flow of electricity that occurs when a charged object gets in contact with another surface. Normally it will not cause harm, although it can turn out to be annoying and, in extreme cases, a little dangerous.

 If static electricity is a problem in your home or office, this flooring will help you to solve it and to prevent possible accidents involved with it. It is a key factor to create the right atmosphere in your house of business.

You should also make sure that the flooring you are choosing is truly anti-static. The way it inhibits the electricity is by creating static dissipative or conductive flooring. Nevertheless, keep in mind that not all the flooring with dissipative or conductive features will be anti-static. 

So, to verify the anti-static properties of the flooring you are choosing, we recommend you contact a professional or an expert that helps you taking the right decision.
