Polyflor Ltd - Strata style and safety in blue for Peak practice
A vibrant blue multi-flake colourway from the Polysafe Strata
range - the latest innovation in sheet vinyl safety floors from
commercial flooring specialist Polyflor Ltd - is helping keep
pets and people safe at the Peak Veterinary Practice at Matlock,
Derbyshire.
“We wanted a safe, attractive and easy to maintain flooring -
and Polysafe Strata fully met our requirements,” says veterinary
surgeon Andrew Dorman.
Polysafe Strata, in Calcite Blue, was installed in the reception
and waiting areas as well as in the treatment room at the
practice by Sheffield-based flooring contractor John Charles
Carpets.
Available in nine exciting shades, each featuring a different
multi-coloured flake decoration, Polysafe Strata’s base colours
are already popular choices in Polyflor’s established Polysafe
Standard range.
In all other respects, Polysafe Strata mirrors the features and
benefits of Polysafe Standard in relation to availability,
price, cleanability and true slip resistant performance.
Incorporating quartz crystals, aluminium oxide and silicon
carbide particles throughout the full product thickness for
improved traction and safety underfoot, Polysafe Strata, in
common with all Polyflor sheet vinyl's, can be welded at the
seams and to coved skirtings to create continuous, impervious
surfaces.
And, as with all Polysafe ranges, the product has been
independently tested and results demonstrate that it inhibits
the growth of MRSA. An effective cleaning regime is, however,
the most important defence against infection.
As well as meeting the performance requirements of EN13845, the
range conforms to HSE guidelines, achieving a sustainable slip
resistance value of ≥36 on the RRL Pendulum wet test (using Four
S rubber slider) and a surface roughness of Rtm ≥ 20µm. Fully
tested to fire safety standard EN 13501-1, Polysafe Strata is
certified as Class Bfl-S1, achieving the criteria EN ISO 9239-1
≥ 8kw/m2 and the mandatory requirement of EN ISO 11925-2 pass.
