Learn How eShop2USA with SUPER.Grip Meets the Latest
ANSI A326.3 Standard!
New STF risk standard that increases the requirement of brands, dealerships, architects, builders, and flooring contractors to use the right product for the environment of use.
This standard has (3) metrics that must be addressed:
- Users, specifiers, builders, and flooring contractors are to measure the environment of use to make sure that the appropriate tile material is used in these areas.
- There is a higher DCOF (dynamic coefficient of friction) standard for areas exposed to greater risk. These environments are service drive, workshop, detailing, back of house, locker rooms, and oil-lube service facilities. The greater the exposure to oils, grease, moisture, and the elements, the higher the higher DCOF (dynamic coefficient of friction) rating required of the tile surface you are selecting for use.
- Note: European R-ratings have no agency, cross-reference, or use with the ANSI standard, only US standards are used to measure the surfaces compliance with this new standard.
- The tile manufacturer you choose must meet these higher requirements and declare that their product is appropriate for the environment of use. Manufacturers are required to declare that their product is appropriate for the environment of use in addition to meeting the DCOF standard. Meeting the DCOF standard is not sufficient for use in these environments, the manufacturer must declare that they are appropriate for use. The good news is that AutoStoneUSA meets these standards for your automotive dealership.

Manage Slip, Trip, Fall (STF) Environmental Risk
This requires tile manufacturers to list their product “use” to be appropriate for the automotive service drive and/or workshop environment.
Your facility design impacts which declared use category is appropriate for your tile material selection.
Get informed so you can mitigate exposure to STF litigation.
STF (slip, trip, and fall) risk is the #1 health and safety risk in automotive retail today.
Medium Traction Surface Complies to Higher ANSI DCOF Standards
eShop2USA IW+ is a medium traction surface. This product conforms to ANSI A326 and is designated rated: IW+, or for Interior Wet Plus conditions. For interior wet plus applications there should be good drainage. Floors walked on when wet should be level, maintained and free of standing water or other contaminants. Should be cleaned with frequent maintenance to keep clean.
Manage Slip, Trip, Fall (STF) Environmental Risk
AutoStone proposes our eShop2USA as one of our four workshop floor systems for service drive and workshop facilities. This service and workshop floor system has been successfully installed in a number of various dealership locations where dealers love the STF benefits, which reduce their exposure to customer and employee injury in the service drive and/or workshop.

AutoStone Aids Dealership Cleaning Practices
AutoStoneUSA builds exclusively for the automotive dealership environment. We understand your environment of use and how your dealership operates.
We help dealers keep and maintain an environment that is maintained in a “like-new” condition for the life of the dealership.
When you follow our recommended cleaning and maintenance directions you will get a better outcome. Dirt, grease, and grime will remain on the surface until you remove it with proper proper cleaning efforts, which include the use of a floor scrubber sweeper machine and wet-vac to suck-up the dirty, contaminated water.
When you purchase AutoStoneUSA tiles, you receive “lifetime” technical cleaning assistance. We want to be your partner for life and help deliver better results and outcomes!
Clean.Tech & Brightfinish
Ultra-Cleanable Technology
AutoStone’s DriveSeriesUSA is built from on our Clean.Tech – “ultra cleanable technology” designed to aid dealers with the cleaning practices. BrightFinish is a PERMANENT sealant that is baked-in, during the manufacturing process.
BrightFinish is PERMANENT, DURABLE and PERFORMS better because it provides a protective coating that resists permanent staining. AutoStoneUSA Clean.Tech advanced surface design does not trap or hold-on to rubber transfer, grease, oil or other contaminants, like traditional “sandpaper” textured surfaces.
Chain-Rake QC Floor Testing Eliminates Latent Install Defects
Ask about the AutoStoneUSA “Chain-Rake” QC (quality control) process to assure that your workshop project delivers a lifetime of performance, function, and beauty. When it comes an automotive industrial floor, one of the risks ownership faces is latent warranty issues related to cracked-and-broken tile.
You can’t see if a tile is fully bonded to the substrate – but you CAN hear it when it isn’t!
When successfully implemented this QC process eliminates most future latent warranty issues that result in cracked/broken tile. Cracked/broken tile usually happens due to insufficient thin set applied to the back of the tile. This QC process helps identify those issues before the flooring contractor has left the project, so a fully bonded floor is realized, and future warranty issues are identified during the installation process.
