Your trusted source for ESD flooring advice. All your static-control flooring questions answered.
“Our facility guy wasn’t overly excited with the decision of going with the tile over the epoxy floor but now that he has had a chance to work with it, he is glad we went with the tile. We worked with our cleaning crew and have worked out a cleaning/polishing process that really shows off the floor. It was a pleasure working with you on the project.”

"Staticworx products were instrumental in our success on the project. The installation process using GroundTack adhesive helped us bid and install static-dissipative tile at a production rate well above our historic levels. Our installers were genuinely impressed with how square, true, and consistent the product was. We are happy, and more importantly, our customers are happy."

"We chose AmeriWorx SVT for our facility’s 32,000 sq. ft. production floor because we wanted the ultra-clean white look and great aesthetics realized with vinyl flooring as well as the excellent ESD protection offered with conductive tile."
Kim Boykin, VP of Operations
Fawn Electronics, Nashville, NC
"AmeriWorx SVT allowed us to greatly increase our productivity. With the tiles being perfectly square and having no variation in gloss or thickness, we essentially improved our productivity by as much as 20%. Considering that labor is as much as 30% of the total cost of a new floor, that can mean the difference between a contractor making money or losing money on a tight project."

AmeriWorx® ESD Solid Vinyl Tile
Aesthetics and Performance
ESD vinyl floors as beautiful as they are functional
Precision-milled, each tile is perfectly square and dimensionally stable, for quick installation with no unsightly gaps between the seams. Tough, durable AmeriWorx tiles are rated at 2500 PSI and capable of handling heavy loads – including fork lifts, pallet jacks and heavy machinery.
AmeriWorx ESD vinyl tile meets all parameters of ANSI/ESD S20.20 for static-control – and both ESD and material performance are guaranteed for the life of your floor.

No Unsightly Gaps
Cheap additives like clay and limestone contribute to shrinkage. The dimensional irregularities in Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) lead to installations with ugly gaps between the seams. A visual nightmare, gaps are depositories for dirt and sludge that accumulates during maintenance. To reduce gaps and prevent seam creepage, the tile must be heat-welded @ $2.00 per linier foot.
Precision Milling Produces Perfectly Square, Dimensionally Stable Tiles
AmeriWorx tiles are produced in large format then cut to size after the tile has acclimatized. After die-cutting, we precision-mill our AmeriWorx vinyl tiles to +/- 0.0020″. This automated process eliminates human error, producing perfectly square, dimensionally stable tiles.
When tiles are square, the installer can place tiles quickly – without manipulating each tile to make it fit. Gap-free floor tiles sit tightly—almost seamlessly—and look beautiful.
Temperature and humidity affect the dimensions of die-cut tile, resulting in unsightly installations with gaps between the seams.
Precision-milled AmeriWorx tile installs tightly, without the need for seam welding, for clean, quick, easy installation.
Thicker Tile Hides Bumps and Waves
Many vinyl tile products come in ultra-thin, 2-millimeter-thick tiles. Thin tiles telegraph every bump and wave from the concrete below. These ugly installations can never be corrected.
AmeriWorx vinyl is 3mm – or 1/8” thick – producing a walking surface that’s seamless and smooth.
Rugged and Durable
Our AmeriWorx SVT is durable and tough. Rated at 2500 PSI, AmeriWorx tile can handle extreme heavy loads – 1.25 tons per square inch – including fork lifts, pallet jacks and heavy machinery.

Superior Static Control
Superior Static-control Performance
Lead-free AmeriWorx vinyl tile provides permanent static control right out of the box – for the life of the material. Our vinyl tile is ANSI certified and has a lifetime ANSI/ESD S20.20 warranty for conductive and static-dissipative performance.
All StaticWorx AmeriWorx ESD vinyl tile meets ESD Association (ESDA) standards.
AmeriWorx tiles are available in conductive and dissipative ranges.
AmeriWorx and AmeriWorx Rox ESD vinyl tiles are available in conductive and dissipative ranges. This option gives you the flexibility to select the floor with the most suitable conductivity range for your application.
Conductive = < 1.0 x 10E6 ohms
Dissipative = > 1.0 x 10E6 ohms to < 1.0 x 10E9 ohms.
Never Requires ESD Polish or Wax
Ameriworx SVT never needs ESD polish or wax to retain its conductive properties. While it’s fine to wax AmeriWorx tile, if you wish, our tile is easily cleaned by simply damp-mopping dirt and debris – making it ideal for areas requiring a low maintenance, high performance ESD floor.
Cost Savings
Sold Directly to Contractors or End Users with No Multi-Tiered Distribution
Multiple layers of distribution can add substantially to the cost of an ESD floor.
We sell AmeriWorx tile directly to contractors or end users, so there’s no hefty markup – making this tough, attractive, high-performing floor a great value and wise ESD flooring choice.
Installation
Ameriworx Handles Traffic Immediately After Installation – With No Downtime
Tile installed with dark wet-set or epoxy adhesives are easily stained when wet adhesive seeps through the seams. And wet adhesives must cure for 3 days or more before you can walk on the floor – causing shutdown and loss of production.
StatBond pressure-sensitive adhesive is tacky, preventing seepage for a quick, clean, permanent installation. With no required cure time, the floor can handle traffic as soon as tile is laid – with no waiting and no downtime to worry about.
Environmentally Friendly
FloorScore Certified
FloorScore certified, AmeriWorx vinyl tile contains no measurable VOCs, and meets California 1350 indoor air quality certification.

We're often asked if precision milling really is necessary. If aesthetics are important, if your project requires a clean, tight, gap-free installation—then the answer is yes. Find out why.
Staticworx developed StatBond pressure-sensitive permanent adhesive to replace wet set adhesives. StatBond eliminates messy installations. Unlike wet-set epoxies and conductive one-part acrylic emulsions, StatBond is allowed to dry completely before tiles are installed.
