StaticStop at a glance: ESD floors, missing EPDs

5 min read
Published: December 12, 2025

StaticStop specializes in electrostatic‑dissipative (ESD) flooring that installs quickly and keeps sensitive electronics safe. The product story is strong. The EPD story is thin. If your sales team bumps into LEED‑or policy‑driven specs, that gap can quietly bench otherwise great products.

What StaticStop makes

StaticStop, a division of SelecTech in Massachusetts, focuses on static‑control flooring for electronics, labs, data centers and healthcare. Their range spans interlocking vinyl tiles like FreeStyle ESD and SelecTile ESD, glue‑down ESD vinyl, ESD carpet tile, ESD epoxy and polyurea coatings, low‑volt ESD rubber, plus cleaners, finishes and accessories. See their technical library for the full line and datasheets at staticstop.com/technical-documents.

They also publish a sustainability page that signals intent on recycled content and install practices. It’s listed here: Sustainability.

How broad is the portfolio

This is not a single‑SKU shop. Across interlocking, glue‑down, carpet, rubber, and coatings, StaticStop serves multiple flooring types with variants for conductive or static‑dissipative performance. Colorways and finish options push the total offering into the dozens. In short, a pure play in ESD flooring with breadth across formats rather than one product line.

EPD coverage today

As of December 11, 2025, we could not locate published, third‑party verified, product‑specific EPDs for StaticStop or parent SelecTech covering their ESD lines in the major public registries. If one exists, it is not readily discoverable for specifiers. That creates friction when projects require or prefer product‑specific EPDs.

Why the gap matters commercially

Project teams targeting lower embodied carbon or LEED v5 priorities often give preference to products backed by verified EPDs. Without one, estimators must default to conservative assumptions for carbon accounting, which can make an otherwise competitive bid look heavier. That means the product must fight harder on price or other attributes to stay in the mix. Sales teams dont always see the bids they never qualified for.

Who StaticStop meets on bids

ESD floors compete with both like‑kind tiles and alternative systems that deliver static control in similar environments.

  • Roppe publishes current product‑specific EPDs covering ESD vinyl tile and related resilient lines with validity running into 2030, making them spec‑ready for ESD applications (Roppe, 2025) (Roppe, 2025).
  • FLEXCO lists multiple EPDs, including one for ESD rubber tile dated 2025, which can substitute in electronics and lab spaces where rubber is acceptable (Flexco, 2025) (Flexco, 2025).
  • Resilient category leaders like Tarkett, Forbo, Mannington, and Gerflor maintain broad EPD catalogs across vinyl, linoleum, and carpet tile. While not always ESD‑specific, that transparency can sway specifiers when performance is equivalent.
  • Industry‑wide EPDs from the Resilient Floor Covering Institute give teams a recognized baseline for resilient floors, raising familiarity and expectations around EPDs in this category (RFCI, 2024) (RFCI, 2024).

A likely best‑seller without an EPD

Interlocking ESD tiles are a signature strength for StaticStop, widely promoted for fast installs over problem subfloors. That format is often the first choice in live facilities because it avoids adhesives and downtime. It’s also where the absence of an EPD can hurt most, because competing ESD vinyl or rubber tiles with current EPDs step in when a project mandates one.

What to do first if you’re StaticStop

Prioritize a product‑specific EPD for the flagship interlocking ESD tile and its glue‑down counterpart. Pick the flooring PCR common among competitor EPDs in North America to ensure apples‑to‑apples comparisons in submittals. Make data collection effortless for plant teams, lock the reference year, and plan the verification cycle so renewals don’t collide with peak selling seasons.

Where this leaves specifiers

StaticStop’s portfolio solves real problems and installs fast. Publish EPDs for the hero products and the sales story becomes complete. That one document removes guesswork in carbon accounting, keeps the product in play on EPD‑required jobs, and helps avoid price‑only showdowns against EPD‑equipped alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does StaticStop currently publish product‑specific EPDs for its ESD flooring?

As of December 11, 2025, we did not find product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs from StaticStop or SelecTech in the major public registries.

Which competitors offer EPD‑covered options for ESD applications?

Roppe lists EPDs that include ESD vinyl tile valid through 2030 (Roppe, 2025). FLEXCO publishes EPDs including ESD rubber tile dated 2025 (Flexco, 2025). RFCI’s 2024 industry‑wide EPDs also shape expectations around resilient flooring disclosures (RFCI, 2024).

What product should StaticStop prioritize for its first EPD?

An interlocking ESD tile EPD would have the highest commercial impact due to frequent use in live, time‑sensitive projects. A glue‑down ESD vinyl EPD should follow to cover conventional specs.

Which PCR is commonly used for resilient flooring EPDs in North America?

Competitor EPDs typically reference a Flooring Part B PCR from recognized operators in North America. Aligning to the prevalent PCR enables fair comparisons in submittals.
