This range expertly replicates the natural beauty of wood and stone, offering stunningly realistic finishes that enhance any interior space. With its innovative construction, Camaro Loc provides a durable and attractive flooring solution that’s built to last.
Featuring a protective Polyurethane Reinforcement (PUR) coating, Camaro Loc PUR flooring is incredibly easy to clean and maintain, resisting everyday scuffs and spills. The clever interlocking mechanism allows for quick and straightforward installation without the need for adhesive, making it a popular choice for renovations and new builds alike. Choose Camaro Loc for a sophisticated, hard-wearing floor that combines aesthetic appeal with functional performance.
Polyflor Camaro Loc PUR stands out as a high-design luxury vinyl tile collection, favoured for its authentic reproduction of popular wood and stone effects. This flooring range is engineered for residential environments, bringing both elegance and resilience to your home. The collection features a diverse palette of designs, from classic oak planks that add warmth and character, to contemporary stone and slate tiles that create a sleek, modern feel. Each design benefits from meticulous attention to detail, including realistic surface textures and bevelled edges that enhance the natural appearance.
The key innovation behind Camaro Loc PUR is its secure Valinge 5G vertical click locking mechanism. This glueless system allows planks and tiles to simply lock together, significantly reducing installation time and complexity compared to traditional glue-down LVT. This makes it an accessible option for competent DIY enthusiasts, although professional installation by experts like the team at Grosvenor Flooring is always recommended to ensure a perfect finish and handle any subfloor preparation requirements effectively.
Durability is a core strength of the Camaro Loc range. It features a robust 0.3mm wear layer, suitable for handling the demands of busy domestic life, including areas with high foot traffic like hallways and living rooms. The PUR surface treatment provides superior protection against scratches, stains, and scuffs, ensuring the floor retains its attractive appearance for years with minimal effort. This low-maintenance surface requires no waxing or polishing – just simple sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping is sufficient to keep it looking its best.
Beyond its aesthetic and practical advantages, Camaro Loc PUR is also designed with comfort and wellbeing in mind. It feels warmer and softer underfoot than natural wood or stone and offers better sound insulation compared to laminate flooring, reducing noise levels within the home. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with most water-piped underfloor heating systems (up to 27°C), adding an extra layer of warmth and comfort. Polyflor also prioritises environmental responsibility; Camaro Loc PUR is 100% recyclable and achieves Indoor Air Comfort GOLD certification for low VOC emissions, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
Choosing Polyflor Camaro Loc PUR from Grosvenor Flooring means selecting a high-quality, stylish, and practical flooring solution backed by expert advice and optional professional installation services. It offers the desirable look of natural materials without the associated drawbacks of cost or maintenance, making it an excellent investment for any home.

- Room usage / Location: Camaro Loc PUR is ideal for most areas within the home, including living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, and kitchens. Its water resistance makes it suitable for kitchens, but careful installation is advised in areas prone to significant splashing, like bathrooms, ensuring edges are properly sealed if necessary. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for specific room suitability.

- Durability & Maintenance: The Polyurethane Reinforcement (PUR) is a major benefit, making the floor highly durable, scratch-resistant, and stain-resistant. Maintenance is straightforward: regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner are all that’s needed. No sealing, waxing, or polishing is required.
- Material Type Pros & Cons:
- Pros: Quick and easy glueless installation (Valinge 5G Loc system), highly realistic wood and stone designs, durable and easy-to-clean PUR surface, water-resistant, comfortable and relatively quiet underfoot, compatible with underfloor heating, good value proposition.
- Cons: Requires a smooth and level subfloor for proper installation, the 0.3mm wear layer is designed for domestic use (may not suit very heavy commercial traffic), perceived prestige might be lower than top-tier LVT brands for some buyers.
- Aesthetics & Style: Offers a wide selection of authentic wood plank effects (like oak, ash) and stone tile effects (like slate, concrete). Available in various colours and finishes with realistic surface textures, catering to diverse interior design schemes from traditional to contemporary.
- Comfort & Sound: Provides a more comfortable underfoot feel than ceramic tiles or stone, being slightly softer and warmer. It also offers better acoustic performance than laminate floors, reducing impact sound transmission.

While suitable for experienced DIYers, professional installation from Grosvenor Flooring ensures optimal subfloor preparation and a flawless finish, maximising the floor’s lifespan and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Polyflor Camaro Loc PUR
- Is Polyflor Camaro Loc PUR waterproof?
-
Polyflor Camaro Loc PUR is highly water-resistant, making it suitable for areas like kitchens where spills might occur. The interlocking system forms tight joints, and the vinyl material itself doesn’t absorb water. However, while water-resistant, it’s not completely waterproof. For bathrooms or areas with high moisture levels, ensure installation guidelines are strictly followed, particularly regarding perimeter sealing, to prevent water seeping underneath the planks.
- How easy is Camaro Loc PUR to install?
-
One of the main benefits of Camaro Loc PUR is its ease of installation thanks to the Valinge 5G vertical click locking system. Planks or tiles simply click together without needing adhesive. This makes it significantly quicker and less messy to install than traditional glue-down LVT and feasible for competent DIYers. However, proper subfloor preparation (clean, dry, level) is crucial for a successful outcome. For guaranteed results, professional fitting is recommended.
- How do I clean and maintain Camaro Loc PUR flooring?
-
Maintenance is very simple due to the PUR coating. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes dust and grit. For cleaning, occasional damp mopping with clean water and a pH-neutral cleaner is sufficient. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, polishes, waxes, or steam cleaners. Promptly wipe up spills to prevent potential staining. This low-maintenance routine keeps the floor looking great for years.
- Can I use Polyflor Camaro Loc PUR with underfloor heating?
-
Yes, Polyflor Camaro Loc PUR is compatible with most common types of underfloor heating systems, specifically water-piped systems embedded in the subfloor. It’s crucial that the surface temperature of the flooring does not exceed 27°C (80°F). Always adhere to the specific guidelines provided by both Polyflor and the underfloor heating system manufacturer regarding installation and operation.
