New floors are typically installed over the following pre-existing surfaces: VCT (vinyl composition tile), VAT (vinyl asbestos tile), or coatings over concrete. While it is possible and sometimes preferable to install a new floor directly over an old surface, a number of steps should be taken to ensure that the new floor does not fail. The steps include destructive testing to determine whether the bond between the existing surface and subfloor (or existing surfaces) is intact and exactly what lies below the current surface – subfloor? Old tile or coating? Layers of tiles? – as well as testing for asbestos and other regulated chemicals. In this episode, Dave Long discusses situations in which companies have run into trouble, installing new flooring over old, and explains the steps necessary to avoid similar problems.

StaticWorx attractive, high-performance static-control floors protect sensitive electronics and electronic components from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Most specifiers and buyers don't realize that electrical and ESD standards differ by industry. And many are unaware of the ways that flooring materials interact with the workplace environment. As a result, they choose the wrong ESD floor, one that fails in their environment or application.

Our technical sales and service reps work with each client, providing the objective, research-based evidence necessary to make an informed decision. We don’t just sell floors.
