Rail track motifs - including turntables at corridor junctions - are among a variety of industrial illustrations featured in the flooring at the new Greenfield County Primary School at Holywell, Flintshire.

Designed by Flintshire County Council in-house design consultancy section, the motifs graphically illustrate how inlaid designs can be creatively employed to lift and transform the internal environment.

Using a selection of colours from low maintenance Polyflor 2000 PUR heavy duty sheet vinyl flooring - from Contract Flooring Association Manufacturer of the Year Polyflor Ltd - the inset designs were created via the Polyflor Expressions Designs Service, which uses computerised water jet cutting techniques to produce a variety of precise shapes and styles for inlaid decoration.

North Wales flooring contractor Linney Cooper Floors installed the flooring.

Polyflor 2000 PUR offers a choice of 25 bright shades and features a high quality polyurethane reinforcement which, combined with a superior closed surface finish, can cut maintenance costs by up to 48% by facilitating a low cost, polish-free maintenance regime for the lifetime of the floorcovering.

Available in a choice of three gauges - 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm - to suit differing traffic levels, Polyflor 2000 PUR meets the general performance requirements of EN 649:1996 and, fully tested to fire safety standard EN 13501-1, is certified as Class Bfl-S1, achieving the criteria EN ISO 9239-1 3 8kw/m2 and the mandatory requirement of EN ISO 11925-2 pass.

In common with all Polyflor sheet vinyl floorcoverings, Polyflor 2000 PUR can be welded at the seams and to coved skirtings to create continuous, impervious surfaces which offer no sanctuary to dirt and bacteria.
