Laminate flooring and ESD?

That's what the swiffer is for. Keep the floor spotlessly clean, and when you drop that micro fine form factor part, you need only swiff it up to get it back.

Then you would love to have someone run a floor sander on your ass, too? Sick bastard.

As usual... another ESD product triple overpriced.

I've laid my own ceramic floor tile since the early '70's. It's not good for rolling a desk chair, likewise carpet isn't much better.

ESD mats are ugly :-(

I'm considering those poured floors that you often see in hospitals.

I'm not sure what it is. I believe it's some kind of man-made material. It's nice in that they form the baseboards as well, so mop-up is super clean.

Terrazzo?

There seem to be both epoxies, and some urethane/polyurethane versions, on a quick search. The epoxies are thicker and more likely to do the integral baseboard thing well, again on a quick search.

As for color/pattern, I'm a big fan of NO pattern as the best floor to find anything on, and white or some other very light color as providing better light in the room (even if that does mean it shows the dirt and/or scuff marks).

Products that depend on carbon black to be conductive generally tend to be black, but I'd hate to look for black parts on one of those...

I saw a fire house with bamboo flooring and other earth friendly stuff

- some news article.

We can sure see why you're bored. You sort of radiate boredom, omnidirectionally.

Isn't it the office manager's job to pick out the bamboo flooring (or whatever)?

Mike

Laminate is just clear plastic over a printed wood decor backed by HDF. I don't know if it comes in conductive variety.

Call me a snob but I find a plastic floor that looks like plastic less objectionable than a plastic floor that is trying to look like wood. I'd go for real linoleum.

As far as the dogs are concerned: I don't know what state of mind gets people to keep large animals in the house, but shouldn't one expect a certain rate of destruction?

I find that real wood flooring, even soft wood, can sustain a lot of visible damage without looking crappy.

Beside that bamboo ist amongst the hardest. Comparable to the oak. I have painted concrete here with carpets here and there. Even with low humidity, I never had an ESD issue.

The overpriced ESD flooring is only overpriced because the demand is so little. If they made it 10% above the regular it'd go better, I guess.

Could get kind of disgusting after a shedding Rottweiler and a shedding Shepherd have snoozed under the lab bench for a few hours ;-)

He's trying to suck all the intelegence out of the universe but as usual, his lame attempt... SUCKS.

That stuff has a really low WAF. It's plain ugly.

Hi Jeorge, Have you looked at cork flooring? But I don't know its ESD properties...

Charlie

Thanks, Pete. I see they also make those carpet tiles. I really loved them in Europe. But couldn't take them with me :-(

It's MY office ;-)
