AVON, MA and WALNUT CREEK, CA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, announced an agreement with The Patton Group to represent the company in northern California.

Based in Walnut Creek, California, The Patton Group has more than 30 years experience in providing commercial flooring solutions for design professionals, flooring contractors and end users. That long history includes a significant track record in representing clean, green, sustainable manufacturers from around the world.

“We’re thrilled to be working with The Patton Group for several reasons, first and foremost their well-deserved reputation as a rep for green flooring products, something they have been able to sustain in a key market like northern California for several decades,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “The other strong appeal is their recent partnering with Ark Floors, International, giving them the experience and capability to rep our ESD products to the northern California market.”

The Patton Group provides flooring solutions for a number of markets, including: sports flooring, hospital flooring, hotel & spa Flooring, multi- family flooring, retail and corporate interiors

“We’re extremely excited about marketing SelecTech products to our current customer base and prospects,” said Brian Richards, president of The Patton Group. “Having just branched out into the ESD arena, we feel SelecTech’s FreeStyle ESD products, which create a static-controlled environment, will be particularly attractive to a whole new market of clients that utilize electronics and sensitive data.”

SelecTech flooring products are made using recycled material and are 100 percent recyclable. Utilizing a breakthrough interlocking technology, SelecTech products completely bypass the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring. This dramatically reduces installation times because old flooring can be left in place and machinery and furniture does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation.

In addition, SelecTech offers anti-static flooring products, specifically the aforementioned  FreeStyle ESD products. This type of flooring is typically used by industries such as electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech and healthcare where electronics and sensitive data must be protected.

SelecTech gets a leg up on competition with ergonomic benefits offered by FreeStyle BioLock™ Interlocking flooring

SelecTech, Inc.’s FreeStyle BioLock flooring improves ergonomics for healthcare facilities, laboratories, education and retail stores.

AVON, MA…

When SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, launched its FreeStyle BioLock flooring last year, it broke new ground in providing green flooring specifically made for healthcare, education and laboratory environments. Beyond the benefits of being a greener product utilizing a patented, hassle-free interlocking technology for installation, BioLock has shown unprecedented ergonomic benefits for early adopters.

“Anecdotally, all of our customers report BioLock to be a much more comfortable surface to stand on. For doctors, nurses, lab technicians and other professionals who are on their feet a large percentage of the day, this is a huge benefit,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “What’s even more compelling is that, in general,  more comfortable flooring has resulted in reduced sick days, fewer worker’s comp claims and a more productive work staff.”

Adds Ricciardelli, “For some customers, where only part of the flooring has BioLock, staff members have actually asked when are we going to install our flooring in their area.”

BioLock employs a patented glueless “zipper” interlocking system that is manufactured by SelecTech, Inc. This enables the flooring to be installed over existing flooring with minimal subfloor preparation. There’s no need for messy, toxic adhesive and down-time is significantly reduced—often times without need to close off an area.

In addition to the ergonomic and installation benefits, BioLock utilizes a water-proof seam sealer that makes tiles 100 percent liquid-tight but still removable and replaceable. This modular benefit prevents liquids from penetrating the seams and getting below the floor, contributing to the prevention of the growth of infectious organisms—an extremely important factor for healthcare and lab facilities. With its urethane, no-wax finish, the commercial grade BioLock is extremely easy to maintain.

Made with 70 percent recycled materials and 100 percent recyclable, BioLock meets CA 1350 Indoor Air Quality and is MAS Certified Green.

“BioLock has one additionally important benefit, sound reduction,” said Ricciardelli. “On top of all that, it reduces sound, another important element to a medical practice, healthcare facility or lab.”

FreeStyle BioLock is available in six stock colors and 30 special order colors.

SelecTech launches National Account Program for its ESD products

Thomas Ricciardelli
Thomas Ricciardelli of SelecTech, Inc.

AVON, MA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently announced the creation of a National Account Program (NAP) for its ESD flooring products. The new program will be tailored towards chains, franchises and larger, multi-location businesses.

“Many things have to be in play for a NAP like this. First, you have to have first-rate product that’s desirable to multi-location businesses. Second, you need to have sales and support staff to serve those locations. Our ESD products and our national network of technicians and sales reps, give our NAP the legs to succeed on many levels,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc.

SelecTech offers unique static control flooring products offered exclusively by Static Stop, including Freestyle ESD. These products are adhesive-free and employ a patented interlocking technology that dramatically reduces installation time and make it easier to replace flooring without significant or, in some cases, any downtime. For multi-location businesses, tiles can be customized in a central location (e.g. adding logos and other branding messages) and then installed by local technicians.

Beyond easy installation, StaticStop products are 100 percent recyclable. When installed, these ESD flooring materials create a static-controlled environment that’s perfect for businesses, retail outlets, and other facilities utilizing sensitive electronics and preserving valuable data. Electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech and healthcare industries are just some of the industries that utilize ESD flooring.

The SelecTech NAP for ESD products will be served by a network of sales representative and flooring technicians across the United States. In addition to installations, SelecTech’s network of technicians can provide 24/7 service.

“Where most national account programs can fail is not having the service people readily available to serve accounts. We have professionals in every market we serve. If there’s a problem, we don’t have to fly anybody in. We have people right there in that area code to service accounts,” said Ricciardelli.

Added Jeffrey Lampert, vice president of business development at Static Stop.com, “We are very enthusiastic and optimistic regarding the launch of our new ESD National Account Program. We look forward to offering this procurement gateway to our customer base and future prospects throughout the United States. Our strong market position as one of the preeminent ESD manufacturers has helped us to solidify to our customers that choosing us is the right choice.”

SelecTech unveils new FreeStyle ESD binder

StaticStop 3Ring Binder_5 copyAVON, MA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently launched its new ESD ring binder, which displays the company’s full range of ESD flooring products, including sample swatches and technical literature.

The binder features unique static control flooring products offered exclusively by Static Stop, including Freestyle ESD – an adhesive-free, patented interlocking ESD vinyl tile that can be easily installed, easily removed and is fully sustainable. The binder also displays traditional ESD vinyl tile, ESD carpet tile, ESD rubber and ESD epoxy flooring.

“Even though computers have been a fixture in workplaces in America for the past three decades, using ESD flooring that minimizes harmful static electricity in an office, telecom or data processing environment is a fairly new thing. In fact, many of the people we have here at SelecTech worked on ESD flooring in the earliest days,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “So while this binder may be a marketing piece, it really is more like a Wikipedia for anyone who uses or is considering ESD flooring.”

ESD products featured in the binder include: FreeStyle ESD and SelecTile ESD Interlocking ESD Tile; CVT Glue Down Vinyl; EpoxyStyle Epoxy Floor Coating; OhmStyle ESD Carpet; LowVolte Rubber Tiles; and ESD Floor Care Products.

SelecTech’s Freesyle ESD flooring products employ a breakthrough interlocking technology that dramatically reduces installation times, completely bypassing the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring. In many cases Freestyle ESD can be installed directly over the old floor. Because machinery does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation, downtime and businesses interruption is significantly minimized or even eliminated altogether.

In addition to being made largely from recycled materials , SelecTech’s ESD flooring products are 100 percent recyclable. When installed, these ESD flooring materials create a static-controlled environment that’s perfect for facilities utilizing sensitive electronics and preserving valuable data like electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech, healthcare industries, and other high-tech industries.

SelecTech has the floor at ACX 14 as a featured keynote sponsor at Vermont’s construction and architecture expo

Tom Ricciardelli of SelecTech

BURLINGTON, VT and AVON, MA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently announced it will be a keynote sponsor of ACX 14, Vermont’s construction and architecture expo. The expo takes place on Friday, June 6 at the Hilton Burlington Hotel in Burlington, Vermont.

“Vermont is known as a green state—from its mountains to its coffee to you name it. So, it is perfectly natural, pardon the pun, for a seller of flooring made from recycled products and 100 percent recyclable, which are actually manufactured in Vermont, to not only attend but sponsor the region’s most important trade event for people in the construction and architecture industry,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech Inc.

Besides using recycled material and being 100 percent recyclable. SelecTech products employ a breakthrough interlocking technology. This technology removes the need for less than environmentally friendly adhesives while reducing the floor prep time needed to install or replace flooring. This saves another kind of green—money—by dramatically reducing installation times because old flooring can be left in place and machinery and furniture does not have to be completely moved or removed for installation.

In addition, SelecTech offers anti-static flooring products, specifically its FreeStyle ESD products. This type of flooring is typically used by industries such as electronics manufacturing, communications, aerospace, biotech and healthcare where electronics and sensitive data must be protected.

Certifiably green. SelecTech receives MAS Certified Green designation

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently received the MAS Certified Green® Certificate of Compliance for all its modular floor tiles.

AVON, MA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently received the MAS Certified Green® Certificate of Compliance for all its modular floor tiles. This includes SelecTech’s FreeStyle BioLock™, Freestyle Standard™, Freestyle ESD™, Place N’ Go™, SelecTile™ and SelecTile ESD™.

The MAS Certified Green certification is a registered trademark to delineate low VOC emitting products in the marketplace so that purchasers and specifiers of those products know that they can earn credits in sustainability programs such as U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Rating system.  Materials Analytical Services, LLC, an independent provider of emissions product testing and certification of a wide variety of residential and commercial building products through the nationally recognized MAS Certified Green™ emissions testing program, issued the certification.

“You hear various vendors making claims of their product being green or greener, yet those claims are not always backed up with solid proof,“ said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “The MAS Certified Green certification means all our products meet the most stringent indoor air quality requirements.”

SelecTech flooring products are made using recycled material and are 100 percent recyclable. SelecTech products become an even greener choice by employing a breakthrough interlocking technology. This technology enables you to completely bypass the need for less than environmentally friendly adhesives as well as the floor prep time needed to install or replace flooring.

AVON, MA and CHICAGO, IL…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, announced an agreement with Spartan Surfaces to represent the company in the Midwest. This arrangement supplements an existing relationship between the two companies where Spartan Surfaces represents SelecTech in the Atlantic Coast region.

“We have had a very good working relationship with Spartan Surfaces since they began representing us last summer in the Atlantic Coast states,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Incorporated. “It just made sense to expand that relationship to give us superior representation in the Midwest.

Spartan Surfaces is a sales and consulting group specializing in commercial flooring alternatives. As part of the supplemental agreement, Spartan Surfaces will provide sales and marketing solutions for SelecTech in the Midwestern states of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.

“SelecTech flooring solves the major issue regarding flooring, namely down time for installation. Because of the interlocking technology they use, you can install, repair or replace flooring without closing your operation or major moving of furniture and equipment,” said Michael Blasek, LEED AP and managing partner of Spartan Surfaces-Chicago. “The added benefit that SelecTech products are greener–made mostly from recycled products—makes their products a winning proposition for companies looking to upgrade their flooring with a greener more efficient alternative.”

SelecTech flooring products are made using recycled material and are 100 percent recyclable. Utilizing a breakthrough interlocking technology, SelecTech products completely bypass the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring.

ASM Modular Systems and Selectech’s StaticStop™ ESD Flooring division team up on new Flooring Technology Platform™ for StarNet

ESD static, ESD flooring, anti-static, basement flooring
Access flooring provided by ASM now available to Starnet members through a partnership with SelecTech, Inc.

AVON, MA and LADSON, SC…

StarNet Vendor Partners ASM Modular Systems, Inc. and the StaticStop™ division of SelecTech, Inc. have teamed up to provide StarNet’s membership with the Flooring Technology Platform™. This innovative, hi-tech flooring solution, which includes ASM’s low-profile access flooring and wire management systems, is topped off by StaticStop’s FreeStyle ESD™ and Ohmstyle ESD™ static control floor coverings.

“SelecTech is thrilled to partner with ASM to create a complete system for wire management in critical data environments,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech. “For these environments, our static control technologies are a perfect match, providing the solution that these electronically sensitive areas require.”

The ASM/StaticStop Flooring Technology Platform is an ideal alternative to more costly and less flexible permanent, hard-wired construction. It can be used efficiently in traditional raised access flooring applications such as telecommunication centers, data centers, air traffic control towers, and 911 communications facilities.  Additionally, since ASM’s low-profile access flooring system allows for easy renovations and retrofits in buildings with standard and low ceiling heights, it now enables the use of the “Flooring Technology Platform” in almost any building.

The new ASM/StaticStop initiative enables StarNet Members to offer unprecedented solutions to end-users desiring easy and flexible wire management for their power and data systems and proven advanced static control floor covering as an added measure of protection for those precious data systems.

The “Flooring Technology Platform” is engineered for quick and easy assembly. The low-profile access floor uses a quick-connect pedestal grid networked with snap-in, high strength, steel surface panels, which are prefabricated and installed using a mallet and basic cutting tools. The electrical systems are all plug-and-play and can be easily routed from a single electrical panel through the entire pedestal grid system to accommodate various space planning needs.”

The Freestyle ESD™ flooring system consists of interlocking resilient floor tiles, which are perfectly engineered for installation over ASM’s low-profile system.  Freestyle ESD uses a patented interlock to create a free-floating conductive, or static dissipative, ESD floor system that is very easy to install and does not require the use of any adhesives. Freestyle ESD is also very easy to remove and replace, which allows for easy access to the underfloor wiring systems and for easy reconfigurations.

“Our Flooring Technology Platform, along with SelecTech’s Freestyle ESD provides the best of all worlds, functionality, durability and good looks,” said Jay Collins, of ASM. “We’re proud to make this offering available to StarNet members.”

The ASM/StaticStop “Flooring Technology Platform” was featured in the StarNet Healthcare 2.0 program, which was released in January 2014. The article demonstrated how demand for advanced wire management and static control is growing in US healthcare facilities, especially in new open-plan laboratories and in acute care facilities where cutting-edge electronic patient management systems are used. The article also focused on medical office buildings where new electronic record keeping systems may require updating power and data lines in existing office spaces.
