Data centers and network facilities are the nerve centers of our digital world. As technology advances, so does the sensitivity of the hardware powering our data-driven lives. This is why electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is not just a feature. It’s a necessity. One often-overlooked but critical element of ESD control is the flooring beneath your feet. At FreeStyle by SelecTech, we offer a unique solution that combines innovation, durability, and ease of installation: our patented FreeStyle ESD™ interlocking tiles.
Here’s why our ESD flooring stands out, and why you should install it in your data center.
Reliable ESD Protection
Data centers house equipment that is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Even minor ESD events can cause significant damage to servers, switches, and other vital components, resulting in data loss, operational disruptions, or costly repairs. Our FreeStyle ESD™ tiles are engineered to mitigate this risk, providing a consistent and certified static-control solution that keeps your equipment protected. With an ever-evolving IT infrastructure, implementing proactive safeguards, such as ESD flooring, is essential for long-term stability and optimal performance.
Minimized Installation Disruption
One of the biggest challenges in upgrading or installing flooring in a live data center is the potential disruption to operations. Traditional flooring solutions often necessitate full shutdowns and equipment relocation, which can lead to delays and damage in the process. SelecTech’s interlocking tile system offers a smarter alternative. Our modular design allows the flooring to be installed over existing floors with minimal downtime. You can upgrade your facility’s ESD protection without shutting down your entire operation, making our system ideal for high-demand environments.
Durability and Easy Maintenance
Data centers are high-traffic environments. Employees, equipment carts, and maintenance crews are constantly on the move, so the flooring must be tough enough to withstand continuous use. FreeStyle ESD™ tiles are not only built for durability, but they also offer a practical advantage: individual tiles can be easily replaced if damaged. There’s no need to tear up the entire floor. This modular approach simplifies maintenance and ensures long-term cost efficiency.
ESD Flooring from SelecTech | More Than Just Protection
In addition to static control, FreeStyle ESD™ tiles offer excellent moisture resistance, ergonomic comfort, and a clean, professional aesthetic. Whether you’re managing a large-scale data center or upgrading a smaller IT room, our tiles deliver unmatched performance and value.
