Cost Effective
- Non-directional design eliminates the hassle of matching patterns and dye batches, and hides wear and tear—the main cause of carpet tile replacement. This results in significant savings.
- Installed with releasable adhesives. Releasable adhesives allow for easy removal of individual tiles, as opposed to having to remove entire rolls of broadloom carpet. This significantly reduces installation waste.
- Glue-free option, using TacTiles, means carpet can be installed without disrupting critical 24/7 operations.
Convenient
- Can be installed non-directionally, making it ideal for raised access floors.
- Mergeable dye lots allow you to replace tiles from future batches without concern for matching the original installation.
- Slight variations are listed under Additional Specifications
Visually Appealing
- Unique design patterns use biomimicry to simulate the random beauty of nature.
- Promotes calming effect
- Non-directional design and mergeable dye lots allow easy tile replacement and mask wear, providing long-lasting aesthetic appeal.
Sustainable, Durable, Reliable
- Contains almost 50% recycled content and has low-emitting material.
- May qualify for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits.
- 100% of yarn bundles are wrapped with Helix 44 denier static-control fiber.
- Withstands over 100,000 cycles of Phillips roller caster chair test.
- Fibers rated at < 2.0 Modification Ratio
- Why is this important? See This Article
- Lifetime warranty for static control.
- Made in America.

How to Qualify and Specify an ESD Floor
What is your application? If you're qualifying a floor, it matters. ESD flooring should always be qualified and specified based on ANSI/ASTM, ATIS, or other industry-specific standards.
Universal standards - based on application and environmental conditions - vary by industry. For electronics manufacturing and handling applications, where special ESD footwear is required, specifications should be based on ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014.
Specifications should reference test methods ANSI/ESD STM 7.1 and STM 97.2.
Standards for ESD flooring materials for electronics manufacturing and handling:
- Resistance, measured in ohms, per STM 7.1:
- < 1.0 x 109 ohms
- Charge generation, measured in volts, per STM 97.2:
- < 100 volts at peak
Floors for end-user spaces where electrified (operational) equipment is in use, refer to standards specific to the industry – e.g. Motorola R56, ATIS-0600321.2015, for telecom and dispatcher spaces, FAA 019f for FAA flight towers, Army Corps of Engineers, Spec #: UFGS 09 62 38, for construction of military services, etc.
Standards for most end-user spaces:
- Resistance, measured in ohms, per STM 7.1:
- 1.0 X 106 to 1.0 X 109
- Charge generation, measured in volts, per STM 97.2:
- < 500 volts (.5 kV)
