Polysafe Ultima, an extra tough
sheet vinyl safety flooring from commercial flooring
specialist and Contract Flooring Association
resilient manufacturer of the year Polyflor Ltd, has
been installed in the kitchens at Wrightington
Hospital in Wigan.
Specially developed for such intensely trafficked
heavy-duty areas where enhanced slip resistance is
paramount and a number of meals are served per day,
Polysafe Ultima meets HSE guidelines by achieving a
sustainable 40 slip resistance (RRL Pendulum wet
test – Four-S/Slider 96 rubber). Ultima also
achieves a surface roughness reading of Rz 70µm,
recommended to cope safely with all levels of
spillage of olive oil, cooking stock and similar
high viscosity contaminants in kitchens and food
processing areas.
“We selected the flooring based on HSE
recommendations and are extremely pleased with its
performance,” says Brian Porter from the hospital’s
facilities department.
The product – installed by St Helens-based CMC
Flooring – has been independently tested and results
demonstrate that it inhibits the growth of MRSA. An
effective cleaning regime is, however, the most
important defence against infection.
Fully conforming to EN13845, the European Norm for
safety flooring, and flexible for ease of
installation, coving and welding, Polysafe Ultima
offers a choice of six practical and robust colours.
