ESD Floor Installations
ESD flooring, commonly known as antistatic flooring, is the foundation of any successful ESD control programme. In combination with ESD footwear, it is the only effective means of grounding operators when away from workstations.
ESD flooring is the largest but most critical investment you will make in achieving ESD compliance, so it is crucial to pick a flooring partner with the necessary knowledge and expertise.
As ESD specialists with over 100 years of combined experience, Teknis have leveraged our industry expertise to partner with only the very best ESD flooring manufacturers and fully trained installation teams to ensure compliance and quality in every installation.
We supply and install conductive flooring and static dissipative flooring solutions to industries including Electronics Manufacturing, Automotive, Aviation, Defence, Medical Devices, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, and Data Centres. We regularly come up with innovative solutions to complex use cases and applications.
Certified to Exceed International ESD Standards
All of our ESD flooring not only meets the requirements of BS EN 61340-5-1:2024 and ANSI ESD S20.20 but we guarantee it exceeds them with:
- Resistance to ground (Rg): Below 1×10⁸ Ohms
- Body voltage generation: Below 100V
Once installed, all flooring is tested to these exacting standards and certified by an ESDA-qualified technician.
ESD Flooring Supply & Trade Rates
Teknis can also offer supply only of premium ESD flooring materials at competitive trade rates. By partnering with Teknis we will provide free-of-charge technical support and testing services to ensure you or your client achieve the required ESD specification.

ESD Vinyl Tiles & Sheet Flooring
ESD vinyl flooring remains the most widely specified ESD flooring solution across electronics manufacturing
and cleanrooms. Available in both tile and sheet format, it provides consistent, reliable electrical performance and long-term durability.
Advantages
- Proven long-term performance – Homogeneous conductive construction ensures stable resistance.
- Excellent durability – Withstands heavy traffic, carts and production equipment.
- Seamless sheet option – Ideal for cleanrooms and controlled environments where hygiene is critical.
- Wide aesthetic choice – Multiple colours and finishes.
- Low life-cycle cost – Long lifespan when properly maintained.
Considerations
- Requires professional installation – Subfloor preparation and conductive adhesive are critical.
- Downtime during installation – Areas must be vacated.
- Permanent solution – Less flexibility if layouts change frequently.
Best suited for: Permanent EPAs, cleanrooms, high-volume electronics manufacturing and data centres.
ESD Interlocking Tiles
ESD interlocking tiles provide a modular, fast-install alternative to traditional glued systems. Designed for rapid deployment and minimal disruption, these antistatic interlocking tiles are ideal for facilities that require flexibility or phased installations.
Advantages
- Quick installation – Loose-lay interlocking design reduces downtime.
- Minimal subfloor preparation – Can often be installed over existing surfaces.
- Modular and relocatable – Damaged tiles can be replaced individually.
- Ideal for retrofit projects – Perfect for upgrading existing spaces to EPA standards.
Considerations
- Visible seams – Not fully seamless like sheet vinyl.
- Slightly higher initial material cost compared to traditional vinyl.
- May not suit ultra-clean environments where seamless finishes are required.
Best suited for: Warehousing, temporary EPAs, production expansion areas and facilities requiring flexibility.
ESD Paints & Resin Systems
Conductive paints and ESD resin flooring coatings offer a seamless, hard-wearing antistatic finish bonded directly to the subfloor. These conductive floor paint systems are particularly popular in heavy-duty industrial environments.
Advantages
- Seamless finish – Excellent for hygiene and easy cleaning.
- High mechanical strength – Resistant to chemicals, abrasion and heavy loads.
- Efficient coverage of large areas.
Customisable finishes – Slip-resistant or decorative options available.
Considerations
- Surface preparation is critical – Substrate condition directly impacts performance.
- Longer curing times – May require planned shutdown periods.
- Permanent installation – Difficult to modify once installed.
Best suited for: Automotive, aerospace, defence manufacturing and heavy industrial EPAs.
ESD Raised Access Flooring
Raised access flooring systems incorporate conductive or static dissipative panels mounted on a pedestal grid system, creating an underfloor void for cable management, airflow and services. These data centre flooring and server room flooring systems are widely used in control rooms and advanced manufacturing facilities.
Advantages
- Integrated cable management – Power & data infrastructure routed beneath the floor.
- Excellent for data centers – Supports airflow and cooling.
- Easy access to services for maintenance or reconfiguration.
- Long-term scalability – Ideal for evolving technical environments.
- High load ratings available for heavy equipment.
Considerations
- Higher initial investment
- Requires structural planning – Floor height and load calculations must be assessed.
- More complex installation – Requires experienced raised floor specialists.
Best suited for: Data centres, test facilities, control rooms, high-spec manufacturing environments.

- Professional Installation – Our fully trained installation teams carry out the work to the highest standards, with minimal disruption to your operations.
- Testing & Certification – Every installation is tested and certified to BS EN 61340-5-1:2024 by an ESDA-qualified technician, giving you documented proof of compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
ESD flooring (electrostatic dissipative flooring) is specialist flooring designed to safely dissipate static charges to ground. It is essential in Electrostatic Protected Areas (EPAs) where sensitive electronic components are handled, tested or manufactured.
Conductive flooring has a resistance to ground of less than 1×10⁶ Ohms, providing rapid charge dissipation. Static dissipative flooring falls between 1×10⁶ and 1×10⁹ Ohms, offering more controlled discharge. The right choice depends on your specific application and the sensitivity of the components being handled.
In many cases, yes. ESD interlocking tiles can often be laid directly over existing surfaces with minimal preparation. Vinyl and resin solutions typically require more thorough subfloor preparation. A free site survey will determine the best approach for your facility.
All Teknis installations are tested to IEC 61340-4-1 (resistance to ground) and IEC 61340-4-5 (body voltage generation). Testing is carried out by an ESDA-qualified technician who provides a formal certificate of compliance to BS EN 61340-5-1:2024.
Any industry handling electrostatic-sensitive devices needs ESD flooring. Common sectors include electronics manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and defence, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, data centres and server rooms.
