Precision Milled Solid Vinyl Tile

American-made conductive tile with the

lowest VOC and out-gassing parameters.
Engineered for gap‑free installations and low
maintenance installations in ESD environments.

Are you grounded? ™

 Engineered to address concerns of the construction industry,

Ameriworx SVT (Solid Vinyl Tile) permits easy, gap-free installations.

Precision-milled for exact squareness, it maintains its shape and

color due to its controlled, consistent mix of raw materials and its

color-thru design. American-made, Ameriworx SVT retains competitive pricing because it is

sold direct to the contractor. Backed by Staticworx, the most respected name in static control

flooring, the tiles are guaranteed for life in regards to both electrical performance and

wear performance. Guaranteed. Forever.

What are the differences between

AmeriWorx SVT and foreign-made VCT?* ™

*SVT = solid vinyl tile, VCT = vinyl composition tile

10 reasons
why you should install Ameriworx SVT in your facility:

1 Perfectly square tiles, gap-free installations.

Ameriworx SVT is precision-milled, an automated process that eliminates human error and guarantees a
perfectly square tile. The tile is produced in large format then milled to tile size once the sheet has
acclimatized — one more process control that prevents dimensional changes. Therefore, Ameriworx SVT
provides the easiest installations possible without any unsightly gaps between tiles.

2 Solid-thru construction, dimensionally stable.

Consistently manufactured with identical raw materials, Ameriworx SVT’s filler-free, solid-thru construction
ensures a dimensionally stable, shrink-free tile — again eliminating the possibility of gaps.

In contrast, imported ESD vinyl tile is mixed in small batches containing high concentrations of fillers like
limestone and clay. Small batch processing lacks precision creating tremendous variation in color,
conductivity and material content. Resins are continuously swapped based on local price and availability.

3 Easy to clean, no expensive waxes required.
Both conductive and color properties run consistently through the
entire thickness of Ameriworx tiles. Tightly controlled by Staticworx,
the company selected the resin used in Ameriworx after significant
research, based in part on clean-ability studies performed in high
traffic areas of grocery and retail spaces in Europe. With Ameriworx
SVT, there is no top lamination or wear layer. So unlike VCT tile,
expensive waxes and frequent maintenance are not required.
Simple routine damp mopping is suggested.

4 Every single Ameriworx tile is tested for conductivity.

Each and every Ameriworx tile produced is electrically tested
automatically and verified that it meets ESD specifications before it
leaves the plant.

In contrast, a few imported VCT tiles are tested for conductivity with
the results considered a representative sample for the entire batch
of tiles produced. Furthermore, since every batch of VCT tile varies in
fillers and resins, both conductivity and color can vary.

5 Lifetime warranties on both electrical performance

and wear performance.
No other manufacturer offers this “double” guarantee on both static
control performance and wear resistance. Traffic will simply not wear
out Ameriworx tiles. Period.

6 Extremely durable, withstands the demands of

forklift traffic.
Ameriworx will handle 2,500 lbs. of pressure per square inch
according to ASTM F970. This converts to 1.25 tons per square
inch — easily supporting heavy traffic from forklifts. Scratches and
scrapes can simply be buffed out; even abrasive black pads can be
used which would destroy many VCT tiles.

As an ESD auditor, it is a priority that the floor meets and maintains
spec over the long term in order to keep our products safe. We audit
every workstation monthly and Ameriworx SVT has never let us down.
™

Our facility managers and supply chain managers greatly appreciate the
seamless appearance and high durability that Ameriworx tile provides.
We appreciate how Ameriworx SVT makes our facilities look as clean
and bright as the hospital environments that our products service.

This summer, we are again entrusting Staticworx with the installation of

a new ESD flooring system using Ameriworx SVT for our 25,000 sq. ft.
production floor.

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.

Choose the best ESD floor for your specific application.
Every application is unique and will differ in its static-protective requirements. There are many types of static
control flooring, each with their own unique capabilities and limitations. As such, different ESD floors can be
installed within the same facility to address the needs of individual workspaces. We will help you choose the
best floor(s) for your specific circumstances, oversee the installation by one of our installation teams, and
certify that the floor’s electrical properties meet your specifications as well as current international standards.
