Copper Beech Opts For New Forest FX

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Aug 5, 2004

Forest FX - an innovative new sheet floorcovering from commercial flooring specialists Polyflor Ltd - has been installed throughout the Salvation Army's Copper Beech Day Nursery in Bramley, Leeds.

The nursery was designed by architects James Totty Partnership of Sheffield and built by main contractor Howard Cook Builders Ltd, of Liversedge, West Yorkshire.

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 sophisticated and realistic timber effects, including 14 of the most widely specified wood colours, from oak, beech, maple and cherry to teak, walnut, mahogany and cocobolo.

With a 0.7mm wearlayer, Forest FX has excellent durability and is ideally suited to high traffic commercial applications.

The range also features a polyurethane reinforcement (PUR), which protects the floor during installation and handover and facilitates a polish-free maintenance regime, achieving maintenance cost savings of up to 48%.

Quick and easy to install, Polyflor Forest FX can be welded at the seams to provide a hygienic surface, offering no sanctuary to dirt and bacteria, and is available in 20mx2m rolls, providing the flexibility to cover large flooring areas swiftly.
