Bright New Look For Hospital Cafeteria
A colourful combination of shades from low maintenance Polyflor 2000 PUR and Polyflor XL PU sheet vinyl floorcoverings have been used to bring a brighter, fresher look to a hosptital cafeteria.
The Polyflor Kudos PU range, comprising 12 wood designs and 12 marble, granite, slate, sandstone, travertine and metallic effects, features a specially formulated polyurethane surface treatment which improves the soil resistance and cleanability of the floor, reducing maintenance costs by up to 24%.
Suited to all areas where risks of water spillage can occur, the ever popular Polysafe Standard offers a choice of 16 fresh, modern colourways and a surface emboss which hugely enhances its cleanability.
Coloured quartz, aluminium oxide and silicon carbide particles are incorporated within the product for improved traction and safety underfoot.
As well as meeting the performance requirements of EN13845 and being BBA Agrement certified as G5ws, Polysafe Standard conforms to HSE guidelines, achieving a sustainable slip resistance value of 36 on the RRL Pendulum wet test (using Four S/Slider 96 rubber) and a surface roughness of Rz 20um.
Fully tested to fire safety standard EN 13501-1, Polysafe Standard is certified as Class Bfl-S1, achieving the criteria EN ISO 9239-1 8kw/m and the mandatory requirement of EN ISO 11925-2 pass.
The product has been independently tested and results demonstrate that the flooring inhibits the growth of MRSA.
An effective cleaning regime is, however, the most important defence against infection.
In common with all Polysafe vinyl floorcoverings, Polysafe Standard is flexible, for easy fitting, welding and site-formed coving and can also be welded at the seams and to coved skirtings to create continuous, impervious surfaces.
