Polytred gets PU surface - and new colours

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jun 17, 2004

Specialist acoustic and sports flexible sheet vinyl floorcoverings from Polyflor have been relaunched with a low maintenance surface treatment and a range of bright new colourways.

Both Polytred Acoustic PU and Polytred Sport PU now feature a specially formulated polyurethane (PU) surface treatment, reducing maintenance costs by up to 24%, and both offer an enhanced choice of modern marbleised decoration.

Polytred Acoustic PU is available in ten colours in 3mm gauge sheet, with a specially developed reinforced closed cell PVC foam backing providing durability, comfort underfoot and excellent impact sound reduction.

Ideal for multi-purpose sports halls, gymnasia and leisure centres, Polytred Sport PU - in five colours - combines a 2mm vinyl top layer with 3.5mm closed cell foam backing.

The floorcovering is fully tested to BS7044: Part 4 for rebound resilience, abrasive wear and slip resistance and to DIN 18032: Part 2 for impact resistance, ball rebound and residual impression.

Line markings can be applied to the vinyl using adhesive tape or paint.

Both meet the general requirements of EN651 and, fully tested to fire safety standard EN 13501-1, are 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.
