Polyflor has launched the innovative Affinity255; range of high-design, heavy commercial luxury vinyl tiles, created to work in perfect harmony with vinyl sheet flooring ranges.
Featuring an eclectic mix of 16 authentically-reproduced wood plank designs, the 2mm-gauge Affinity255; collection offers straightforward installation alongside 2mm vinyl sheet flooring, providing a beautifully-seamless flooring solution that flows throughout any commercial installation.
Affinity255; luxury vinyl tiles blend effortlessly with Polyflor’s 2mm-gauge heterogeneous, homogeneous and safety flooring ranges, such as Expona Flow PUR, Pearlazzo PUR and Polysafe Verona PUR. This makes it easy to create flowing pathways, zones and dual purpose areas within healthcare environments where different specifications of flooring need to be installed side by side. For example, in rooms that require vinyl sheet flooring for hygiene reasons like hospital wards, Affinity255; can be laid in any high traffic areas that meet those rooms such as corridors and reception areas, , without the need for levelling trims between rooms.
The hard-wearing Affinity255; collection has been developed for heavy traffic healthcare environments and other sectors such as retail, leisure, office, housing and education. The cross-linked and UV-cured polyurethane reinforcement (PUR) protects the floor and supports a simple cleaning regime and easier soil release.
Affinity255; planks feature authentic surface textures, grain detail and tonal hues in a wide plank format to replicate the natural variation found in real wood. The collection’s stunning array of traditional and contemporary designs can be simply straight laid, combined with other designs or used with flooring accessories such as inlay strips for unlimited creative possibilities.
Luxury vinyl tiles from the Affinity255; range can also be combined with vinyl sheet and tile flooring as part of a bespoke design created by Polyflor’s experienced in house Design Service who frequently work with specifiers on interior projects. With the flexibility of water jet cutting there is virtually no limit to the shapes, patterns or designs that they can create for customers using Polyflor’s high-performance flooring.
“This new collection fits with Polyflor’s ethos that high design and functionality can go hand in hand when it comes to commercial flooring. Affinity255; was designed with the needs of specifiers and flooring contractors in mind, allowing them the flexibility to combine this versatile LVT product with our other sheet vinyl floorcoverings for even more options when creating fit for purpose interiors,” said Tom Rollo, Polyflor’s marketing manager.
Polyflor’s latest range achieves a BRE A+ rating in major use areas and Indoor Air Comfort Gold, assuring that VOC emissions are below any globally-determined levels. Affinity2⁵⁵ is also 100% recyclable via the Recofloor recycling scheme and contains an average of 40% recycled content.
