Polyflor Camaro PUR

The Polyflor Camaro PUR range stands out as a popular choice for homeowners and businesses seeking high-performance Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring that doesn’t compromise on style. This meticulously curated collection features a diverse palette of realistic wood and stone designs, capturing the natural beauty and texture of these materials with remarkable accuracy. From classic oak planks to contemporary concrete tiles, Camaro PUR offers designs to complement any interior scheme, be it traditional or modern.

One of the key advantages of the Camaro PUR range is its construction. These LVT planks and tiles are engineered for durability and longevity, making them suitable for areas with high footfall in residential settings, such as hallways, kitchens, and living rooms. The range is also specified for light commercial use, making it a reliable option for environments like small shops, offices, and salons where both aesthetics and resilience are important.

Central to the performance of Polyflor Camaro PUR is the application of a high-quality Polyurethane Reinforcement (PUR) layer. This surface treatment provides superior cleaning benefits, enhanced scratch and stain resistance, and ensures an easy, low-cost maintenance regime. Unlike floors requiring regular waxing or polishing, Camaro PUR maintains its ‘as new’ appearance with simple sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping using a neutral cleaner. This PUR coating significantly reduces the lifetime maintenance costs and environmental impact associated with cleaning chemicals.

The collection offers flexibility in design creation. Available in various plank and tile formats, including popular large plank sizes and elegant stone tile effects, Camaro PUR allows for creative installations. Many designs are suitable for laying in patterns like herringbone or parquet, enabling truly customised floors that make a statement. The tiles feature authentic surface textures that mimic the feel of real wood grain or stone, adding depth and realism to the overall look.

Polyflor is committed to sustainability, and the Camaro PUR range reflects this. It achieves a BRE A+ rating for major use areas in health and education sectors, indicating a low environmental impact. Furthermore, the flooring is 100% recyclable through the Recofloor vinyl take-back scheme and contains recycled content. Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions contribute to better indoor air quality. Choosing Polyflor Camaro PUR means selecting a floor that is not only beautiful and durable but also environmentally conscious.

Polyflor Camaro PUR Buying Guide

Choosing the right flooring involves considering various factors. This guide helps you decide if the Polyflor Camaro PUR range is the perfect fit for your needs:

• Room usage / Location: Camaro PUR is ideal for all residential areas, including kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways due to its water resistance and durability. It’s also rated for light commercial use, suitable for spaces like small offices, boutiques, cafes, or waiting areas with moderate foot traffic.
• Lifestyle: Perfect for busy households, families with children, and pet owners. The PUR coating makes it incredibly easy to clean up spills and dirt, and it resists scuffs and scratches from daily life. Its low maintenance requirements suit those seeking a hassle-free flooring solution.
• Budget: Polyflor Camaro PUR sits comfortably in the mid-range LVT market, offering excellent value for its quality, design fidelity, and performance features. It provides a premium look and feel without the higher price tag associated with some top-tier LVT brands or natural materials like solid wood or stone.
• Durability & Maintenance: Offers good durability for residential and light commercial traffic. The standout feature is the PUR coating, which provides excellent protection against stains and scuffs and makes cleaning effortless – typically requiring only regular sweeping/vacuuming and occasional damp mopping with a neutral cleaner. No waxing or polishing is needed.
• Material Type Pros & Cons: As an LVT, Camaro PUR offers significant advantages: 100% waterproof, wide design variety, realistic aesthetics, warmer and quieter underfoot than ceramic tiles, easy to maintain. Potential cons include susceptibility to deep scratches or gouges from very heavy/sharp impacts (though the PUR layer helps resist minor ones) and the requirement for proper subfloor preparation before installation.
• Aesthetics & Style: The range boasts a wide selection of highly realistic wood and stone designs, from traditional oaks and maples to modern slates and concretes. Available in various plank and tile sizes, including options suitable for herringbone patterns, allowing for diverse and sophisticated design outcomes.
• Comfort & Sound: LVT offers more underfoot comfort and warmth compared to ceramic tiles or stone. It also provides better sound absorption, reducing footfall noise, although it won’t be as quiet as carpet.
• Underfloor Heating: Polyflor Camaro PUR is generally suitable for installation over underfloor heating systems. However, it’s crucial to adhere to Polyflor’s specific guidelines regarding maximum surface temperature (typically 27°C) and installation procedures to ensure compatibility and performance.
• Installation: Camaro PUR is a gluedown LVT product. While experienced DIYers might attempt installation, professional fitting by experienced LVT installers, like the teams at Grosvenor Flooring, is strongly recommended to ensure correct subfloor preparation, adhesion, and a flawless finish, which also validates the product guarantee.
• Sustainability: Polyflor places emphasis on environmental responsibility. Camaro PUR contains recycled material, is 100% recyclable via the Recofloor scheme, and boasts low VOC emissions contributing to healthier indoor air. It also achieves a BRE A+ rating in key sectors.
