The 2026–2027 technical guide

Craftsman Concrete Floors has published its 2026–2027 Technical Guide to ESD Flooring Installation, Testing and Closeout, bringing together more than 70 original technical resources for teams planning, specifying and maintaining ESD flooring.

The guide connects decisions made before installation with the work and records required at completion: selecting a flooring system, establishing test methods and acceptance criteria, preparing the slab, documenting field measurements and assembling closeout records.

Developed from Craftsman’s established installation, testing and documentation practices, the collection gives facility teams, specifiers and contractors a practical reference throughout an ESD flooring project. Craftsman provides the installation and project support needed to carry those requirements into the field.

The resources address questions that affect both purchasing and acceptance. What does a manufacturer’s resistance claim establish? Which test evaluates the floor, and which evaluates the person, footwear and floor together? What should the final report contain? Answering those questions early helps the project team define the required work before it is priced and installed.

Find the guidance your project needs

Start with the question you need to answer. The guide separates product qualification, acceptance of an installed floor and verification during service, with dedicated pages for the relevant methods and records.

Technical guide resources
Project questionTechnical resource
What should be established before installation, and carried through closeout?ESD flooring project delivery: submittals through closeout
Which measurement answers the flooring or personnel-grounding question?Choosing an ESD flooring test
What evidence supports qualification of a footwear/flooring combination?Footwear/flooring qualification under ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021
How is the flooring system’s electrical resistance measured?ANSI/ESD STM7.1-2020 floor-resistance testing
How is resistance through a person, footwear and floor measured?ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2025 system-resistance testing
How is the voltage generated while walking evaluated?ANSI/ESD STM97.2-2016 walking body-voltage testing
What should accompany the reported measurements?ESD flooring test-report requirements
How are recurring checks and event-triggered retests distinguished?ESD floor retesting intervals and event triggers
What do resistance, voltage and standards claims on a product sheet actually cover?Interpreting ESD flooring data-sheet claims

The guide identifies the standards editions discussed in each resource. Project teams should confirm the governing specification, adopted ESD program and applicable editions when selecting procedures and acceptance criteria.

From technical guidance to installed flooring

Craftsman installs ESD flooring systems through directly employed W-2 crews, with national service coverage and project-specific field leadership. Our work connects requirements review and system selection with substrate preparation, grounding details, installation, assigned testing and closeout.

For operating facilities, we coordinate flooring work around access, production schedules, installation windows and the selected system’s cure requirements. Testing responsibilities and required records are established in the project scope so the team knows what Craftsman will provide at handover.

Every test performed directly by Craftsman produces a written digital report. Where specified, reports include mapped readings, recorded conditions, photographs and evaluation against the approved acceptance criteria. Craftsman assembles the required results with the applicable product, installation, maintenance and warranty records described in our testing and closeout capabilities.
