Polyflor - Space age style for children’s unit

Bright colours from the Polyflor XL PU range of lower maintenance heavy duty sheet vinyl flooring have been used to create eye catching inset images of planets, suns and spaceships at the observation and assessment unit of the Royal Bolton Hospital Children’s A&E Department.
“Our aim was to create a warm and friendly ambience for the unit and the XL PU colour palette proved ideal in helping us achieve this objective,” said Vivienne Davies from local architects Bradshaw, Gass and Hope.
The images were created via the Polyflor Expressions Design Service, which uses computerised water jet cutting techniques to produce precise shapes and styles for inlaid decoration. The flooring was installed by Bolton-based flooring contractor Diamond Flooring, who also fitted low maintenance Polysafe Corona sheet vinyl safety flooring in the unit’s treatment rooms.
Meeting the performance requirements of EN 649, Polyflor XL PU features a specially formulated polyurethane surface treatment - reducing maintenance costs by up to 24% by improving the soil resistance and cleanability of the floor. The range
offers a choice of 24 attractive colourways and of 1.5mm and 2mm gauges to suit differing traffic levels.
Combining the latest advanced performance and maintenance technology with a superbly fresh colour palette, Polysafe Corona incorporates Supratec+, the second generation of Polyflor’s unique soil releasing polymer system, now including polyurethane for reduced dirt pick up and even easier maintenance. This means that Corona can offer cleaning cost savings of up to 60% over traditional safety flooring over a 15 year period.
The range also features an advanced formulation, providing enhanced flexibility for even easier fitting and welding. As well as being BBA Agrément certified as G5ws, Corona provides sustainable slip resistance throughout its guaranteed life, achieving 36 on the RRL Pendulum wet test (Four-S/Slider 96 rubber). This, combined with a surface roughness of
Rz 20µm, ensures that Corona complies with Health and Safety Executive guidance and with EN 13845, the European Norm for Safety Flooring.
The practical appeal of the range is matched by its aesthetic appearance - a superb choice of 12 fresh, vivid colours, carefully chosen to complement shades available in Prestige PUR and XL PU – two of Polyflor’s heavy duty smooth ranges of commercial floor coverings, thus enabling architects and designers to co-ordinate and contrast colours in different use areas.
Polyflor XL PU and Polysafe Corona are fully tested to fire safety standard EN 13501-1, are certified as Class Bfl-S1, achieving the criteria EN ISO 9239-1 > 8kw/m2 and the mandatory requirement of EN ISO 11925-2 pass.
Both have been independently tested and results demonstrate that they inhibit the growth of MRSA. An effective cleaning regime is, however, the most important defence against infection.
In common with all Polyflor sheet vinyl floorcoverings, both can be welded at the seams and to coved skirtings to create continuous, impervious surfaces which offer no sanctuary to dirt and bacteria.
