Facilities that house a lot of delicate electronic equipment need to take extra precautions in order to protect such machinery from damages. Databases and computer systems which are designed to hold invaluable information are threatened by liquid spillage, hot temperatures and are susceptible to sudden power surges. One way to eliminate part of the risks and lower the chances of losing data or components, is to install a top quality static control carpeting.
A quick surge of power lasting even a fraction of a second can do an astonishing amount of damage to the sensitive equipment. Such an electrical burst can cause connectors to melt, wires to burn and valuable data to suddenly disappear forever. Replacing the components is quite often easily done, however, the loss of information can be very costly and effect a lot of individuals.
As employees walk, creating friction against the carpeting, they generate charges of electricity that store within their bodies. When they touch the various parts of the computer such as the terminal, monitor or keyboard, they release little surges that have been known to cause glitches. If enough voltage is discharged through one or more person at a time, the entire system could suffer.
This special made type of carpet is designed to minimize electrostatic charges and protect valuable electronics from damaging surges. Using fibers of a unique composition with permanent conductivity properties that have been fully UL approved, the product actually poses many benefits to facilities that have them installed. They attract the electricity generated through contact and channel it down to a grounded base that renders it harmless.
Variations of this product are available through a number of manufacturers though they each share common functionality features. If this kind of carpeting were to be produced in continuous rolls, as most are, it would not be economical to replace when a section of it became damaged. For cost effectiveness, they are instead made in pieces that are two foot squared to make repairs easier.
There are multiple benefits to the smaller sections, especially the fact that purchasing a few pieces to replace damaged sections is considerably more economical than buying a roll to cover a whole room. Their designs are such that new tiles and old tiles mix together seamlessly with no noticeable difference in color, stains are masked and traffic patterns are hidden. They are made so that a damaged square can be pulled up and replaced without any disturbance to the surrounding area.
Though their main purpose is to protect the electronics, this carpeting is very low maintenance and provides health benefits to the employees. A vacuum will keep it clean, it will repel stains as well as absorb a lot of the vibrations and sounds generated by the operating machines. They are imbued with anti-microbial properties that are EPA approved to protect workers from the effects of mold, mildew and offensive odors.
Materials claiming electrostatic conductive abilities are held to stringent specification requirements. The standards are considerably stricter than normal carpeting because of the protection they claim to provide. Call centers, data bank rooms, computer labs, critical command units, and network serving offices commonly employ this kind of flooring.
