A couple of things to consider.

1)I can't imagine, nor have I ever worked in, an environment not requiring foot
straps

2)Check your foundation's floor for moisture. Your installer should tell you the
simple tests
also for osmonic pressure. If the floor "oozes" water, you will have trouble.

2)I've always installed using ground strapping to the rest of the building's
commong ground.
Also, just for giggles and to keep good electrical contact, I've at times gold
plated the
grounding straps to minimize corrosion.

3)I also like the VPI conductile best. It keeps its appearance with little
maintenance and is an
excellent material both for ESD and traffic.
