Production continues while floor tiles are installed

In a bid to ensure disruption to customers was kept to a minimum, Ecotile Flooring was chosen to supply and install ESD interlocking floor tiles. Phase one was completed in February 2014 with the second phase finishing May 2015. In total 1200m² of grounded Ecotile was installed over the existing asbestos tiles while production continued at full capacity.

Steve Allen, operations director, said: "As an electronics manufacturer the quality and integrity of our products is paramount and a conductive floor is an integral part of production. It wasn’t viable for us to shut down operations to install an ESD floor so the fact that Ecotile could go straight over the top while we continued to work was a huge advantage. We have used different colours to delineate walkways and now only need to do one monthly test to check the floor is giving us the ESD protection we need. This has made a significant improvement to our facility!”

Ecotile is guaranteed for 10 years and is fully compliant with British and European standards.
