In today’s modern society, we see an increasing number of ESD*-sensitive environments. To benefit from developments and opportunities today and in the future, we must be able to handle this situation by adopting appropriate products and systems.
The flooring is an important part of an effective ESD control system. Tarkett has developed products that meet high technical standards and deliver benefits like easy installation, low maintenance and extraordinary durability.
Our two static control floorings are iQ Granit SD, covering static dissipation needs, and iQ Toro SC, covering the higher requirements for static conductivity. Both are colour-coordinated with the iQ Granit range and have the same maintenance needs, allowing a harmonious combination of regular and static control flooring in the same building. iQ Granit SD and iQ Toro SC are available in sheets as well as tiles. When using sheets, no special conductive adhesive is needed, which makes installation easier and more cost-effective.

* What is an electrostatic discharge?
All around us, electrostatic charges are generated by friction or the separation of different materials. Since all matter in our world strives towards balance, every electrical charge tries to discharge itself.
When two materials with different charges come sufficiently close to each other, there is an electrostatic discharge (ESD).
This may cause damage to sensitive items and equipment.
