POLYFLOR LAUNCHES NEW ADHESIVE FREE SAFETY FLOORING COLLECTION Polyflor, the leading UK Manufacturer of commercial and residential vinyl flooring, is delighted to announce the launch of the new Polysafe QuickLay PUR Collection. Polysafe QuickLay is a loose lay safety flooring designed for adhesive-free installation and is the perfect solution for busy commercial environments in need of a quick turnaround and where sustainable slip resistance is a priority. Designed to be a practical choice for contractors and specifiers alike, Polysafe QuickLay is a temporary or permanent floor covering which achieves the same performance and durability as other Polysafe flooring collections but with the added benefits of adhesive- free installation. The specially formulated studded emboss on the underside of Polysafe QuickLay works as a barrier – allowing moisture to escape from the subfloor – facilitating installation over new concrete floors of up to 97% RH. The unique double sided Polysafe Quicklay tape is fitted around the perimeter of the room, underneath all seams and doorways securing the flooring in place. Polysafe Quicklay features a contemporary design in a tonal colour bank of 12 shades with a matt surface finish, providing a decoration suitable for dementia friendly environments, supported with the University of Stirling’s Dementia Services Development Centre accreditation for the full collection. The DSDC is an international centre of knowledge and expertise dedicated to improving the lives of people living with dementia which offers a product accreditation scheme. The Polysafe QuickLay collection performs exceptionally well with 10 colours achieving the highest 1a rating and 2 colours achieving 1b. Polyflor’s UK and International Marketing Director, Tom Rollo comments, ‘From the outset the goal was to create a loose lay flooring product that would save installation time, eliminate the need for adhesives and make future replacement easier whilst still providing the sustainable slip resistance required from a safety floor. The new Polysafe QuickLay collection fulfils these requirements whilst also responding to the market demands for plain and tonal decoration products, suitable for specification within dementia friendly environments.’ Designed for low maintenance costs, Polysafe QuickLay features the renowned Polysafe polyurethane reinforcement (PUR) cleaning enhancement. Cross-linked and UV cured, Polysafe PUR is a super strength reinforcement designed to facilitate even easier cleaning, whilst providing optimum appearance and colour retention as well as improved soil release. 100% recyclable, Polysafe QuickLay is a sustainable flooring choice, built to last but offering end of life flexibility - uplift and re-use or recycle via the Recofloor scheme. Adhesive-free installation also promotes excellent indoor air quality and low VOC emissions which leaves a healthy environment that can be used straight away.
