Customer just called saying they're getting some sort of a static shock from their new kitchen laminate floor. Anyone heard of this before?
It only happens when wearing trainers (not just socks), and the shock happens when he touches an accessory after walking on the floor.
It's the same flooring he's had in the hall for years and that doesn't shock! Only difference is the underlay in the kitchen is a foam designed for concrete floors.
According to google this isn't uncommon and a coat of wax polish might be a solution. I wondered if anyone on here might have come across this scenario and perhaps an electrical solution.
(Before you ask, I have done loop, cpc and bonding testing and all ok.)
