Polyflor Ltd - Timber touch for new hospital extension
Sophisticated and highly realistic timber effect
sheet vinyl flooring - from commercial flooring
specialist and Architects for Health think tank sponsor
Polyflor Ltd - has been installed in reception and all
circulation areas at the new build extension to the
Bridgnorth Community Hospital in Shropshire.
Polyflor’s Forest FX range in a variety of shades was
installed by Wolverhampton-based Baker Floors who also
fitted Polysafe Astral sheet vinyl safety flooring in
the new unit’s treatment rooms.
Developed in response to demand from specifiers and
designers for a wood effect sheet vinyl, Forest FX is
targeted primarily at the healthcare, education and high
street sectors, but its outstanding appearance and
performance characteristics are seen as appealing to the
broad commercial market.
The collection features 14 of the most widely specified
wood colours, including oak, beech, maple and cherry as
well as teak, walnut, mahogany and cocobolo.
The range also features a polyurethane reinforcement (PUR),
which protects the floor during installation and
handover and facilitates a polish-free maintenance
regime.
Polysafe Astral is available in 14 vibrant colours each
featuring an eye-catching multi-flake decoration. The
flooring incorporates Supratec+, the second generation
of Polyflor’s unique soil releasing polymer system, now
including polyurethane for reduced dirt pick up, even
easier maintenance and life cycle cost savings of up to
60% over traditional safety flooring.
As well as meeting the performance requirements of
EN13845 and being BBA Agrément certified as G5ws, Astral
conforms to HSE guidelines, achieving a sustainable slip
resistance value of ≥36 on the RRL Pendulum wet test
(using Four S/Slider 96 rubber) and a surface roughness
of Rz ≥20µm.
Polysafe Astral has been independently tested and
results demonstrate that the product inhibits the growth
of MRSA. An effective cleaning regime is, however, the
most important defence against infection.
Fully tested to fire safety standard EN13501-1, Polysafe
Astral is certified as Class Bfl-S1, achieving the
criteria EN ISO 9239-1 ≥8kw/m² and the mandatory
requirement of EN ISO 11925-2 pass.
