Polyflor Colonia PUR

Polyflor Colonia PUR stands out as a leading choice for homeowners seeking high-quality luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring. This collection is meticulously crafted to bring the beauty of natural materials into your home, offering a diverse palette of realistic wood effect LVT planks and sophisticated stone and concrete effect LVT tiles. From the warm hues of classic oak to the cool tones of contemporary slate, Colonia PUR provides design flexibility to create stunning floors in any room. The authenticity of the designs ensures a convincing finish, adding character and value to your living space.

A key feature of the Colonia PUR range is its construction, incorporating Polyflor’s renowned Polyurethane Reinforcement (PUR). This cross-linked and UV-cured coating provides a robust barrier against wear and tear, making the floor exceptionally durable for residential environments and even suitable for light commercial interiors. The PUR layer simplifies cleaning routines significantly; a simple sweep and occasional mop are usually all that’s needed to maintain its pristine appearance, contributing to its status as easy clean LVT and low maintenance LVT. This hygienic surface resists stains and scuffs, making it ideal for areas prone to spills, like kitchens and bathrooms.

The practical benefits extend further. With a 2mm overall thickness and a 0.2mm wear layer, Colonia PUR is built to withstand the demands of daily life. While not fully waterproof like some sheet vinyl, its water resistance makes it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and entrance halls, provided spills are wiped up promptly. Compared to natural wood or stone, it offers improved warmth underfoot and better sound absorption, reducing noise transfer between rooms. The range is also compatible with underfloor heating systems (up to 27°C), adding an extra layer of comfort.

Polyflor demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability with the Colonia PUR range. These tiles boast an average of 40% recycled content and are 100% recyclable through schemes like Recofloor. Furthermore, they achieve Indoor Air Comfort GOLD certification for low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to healthier indoor air quality – a significant consideration for eco-conscious homeowners looking for eco-friendly flooring options UK. Backed by a 7-year domestic warranty, Polyflor Colonia PUR offers peace of mind alongside its aesthetic appeal and practical advantages, representing a smart investment for transforming home interiors. Installation is typically a full stick-down process, best handled by professional fitters like those at Grosvenor Flooring to ensure a perfect finish and long-lasting performance.

The wood effect planks come in various sizes to mimic natural timber flooring accurately, while the stone and concrete tiles are available in standard square formats, allowing for creative laying patterns like checkerboard or offset designs.
