It’s a common misconception that data center flooring only requires electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, but a data center is more than just server rooms. Reception areas, offices, kitchens and dining spaces all need tailored solutions when it comes to flooring. We have prepared a guide below to help you pick the right flooring for every part of your facility.
1. Create an Impressive First Impression – Mondeco Crystal for Reception Areas
Your reception area is the first impression your visitors will get. Mondeco Crystal is a decorative, seamless epoxy terrazzo flooring system that combines elegance with endurance. With recycled glass aggregates mixed in for a unique sparkle, not only does your reception flooring looks great but also stands up to heavy foot traffic. The seamless finish means less spots for dirt to hide, keeping things fresh and clean.
2. Comfortable and Stylish Workspaces – Flowscreed Micro for Office Spaces
Modern offices need to be both comfortable and durable. That’s why we highly recommend Flowscreed Micro. It is a pigmented micro-cement system that delivers a natural concrete finish with a contemporary touch. Thanks to its seamless surface, it’s easy to wipe away any accidental coffee spills. Maintenance is minimal, cleaning is easy and it offers excellent wear resistance for everyday office activities.
3. Protect Sensitive Equipment – Flowshield ESD Conductive for Data Processing Zones
Static electricity poses a serious threat to sensitive electronics in data processing zones. Flowshield ESD Conductive flooring is specially designed to prevent electrostatic discharge, protecting your expensive servers and equipment. Compliant with ANSI/ESDS2020, ASTM F150 Conductive, IEC 61340-4-1 and IEC 61340-4-5 requirements, this system ensures safe operations in areas where controlling static is absolutely essential, offering peace of mind.
4. Durable & Hygienic – Flowshield SL for Server Rooms and Technical Corridors
The server room is the core of a data center, where data is processed, stored and routed. Given its importance, the flooring must be durable and hygienic. That’s why Flowshield SL is a good choice. It is a high-gloss, self-smoothing epoxy floor finish (compliant with CSM® - Cleanroom Suitable Materials requirements) that resists dust and dirt buildup – super important requirement in sensitive tech environments. It’s easy-to-clean surface and exceptional resistance to wear make it an ideal solution for server halls, technical corridors and mechanical rooms.
5. Clean & Safe Food Areas – Flowfresh MF for Kitchen and Dining Hall
Kitchen and dining areas are daily gathering spots in any data center, making hygiene a top priority. Flowfresh MF is a durable polyurethane flooring system enhanced with Polygiene®, an antimicrobial additive that helps inhibit bacterial growth. It’s slip-resistant, chemical-resistant and built to withstand hot spills and heavy foot traffic. Plus, it’s easy to clean and keeps the environment safe for everyone.
Conclusion
Choosing the right flooring system for your data center goes beyond technical specification. It's a long-term strategic investment in safety and performance. The ideal flooring supports everything from ESD control and hygiene to durability and aesthetics. Whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing facility, Flowcrete’s flooring solutions offer reliable performance to help your data center operate smoothly for years to come.
