Improved Standard with Polysafe PUR

14 May 2012
Polyflor’s popular Polysafe Standard safety vinyl flooring collection is now available with the manufacturer’s groundbreaking Polysafe polyurethane reinforcement (PUR).

Cross-linked and UV cured, Polysafe PUR is a super strength reinforcement designed to make Polysafe Standard PUR even easier to clean, provide optimum appearance and colour retention as well as improved soil release.


Using a micro mop maintenance regime, chemical usage, energy intensive cleaning and water consumption are significantly reduced and life cycle maintenance costs of up to 60% are achievable over a 15 year period when compared to untreated safety flooring.

“Over recent months we have launched our Polysafe Mosaic, Vogue Ultra, Astral and Corona ranges with Polysafe PUR and the response from customers has been phenomenal,” explains Simon James, Polyflor marketing manager.

“The fact that Polysafe Standard now offers the same maintenance, environmental and visual benefits as some of our higher end, decorative safety ranges makes it one of the best value safety products on the market.”

Polysafe Standard PUR has been awarded the highest possible BRE Global Environmental A+ Rating in major use areas such as education and healthcare (Certificate No: ENP 336). The product rating is based on the whole life environmental impact of the flooring over a building life of 60 years, thereby contributing to a healthy BREEAM score. Polysafe Standard PUR is 100% recyclable and can be recycled through Recofloor, the industry Vinyl Take-Back Scheme of which Polyflor is a founder and funding member.

Polysafe PUR is also incorporated to enhance maintenance on the thicker gauge Polysafe Standard 2.5mm and 3.5mm ranges. As with all Polysafe products, Polysafe Standard PUR floorcoverings comply fully with HSE and UK Slip Group Guidelines to give sustainable slip resistance throughout their guaranteed life, achieving 36+ on the Pendulum wet test (Slider 96/Four S rubber) with a surface roughness of 20 microns and above. They also adhere to EN 13845 – the European standard for safety flooring.
