How durable is the Polyflor Expona Design range?
It is extremely durable. Engineered for heavy commercial traffic environments, its 0.7mm wear layer provides outstanding resistance to scratches, scuffs, stains and general wear. This ensures a long lifespan and continued aesthetic appeal even in the most demanding locations.
Can Polyflor Expona Design PUR be installed over underfloor heating?

It's essential to follow Polyflor's specific installation instructions when fitting over UFH to ensure warranty compliance and optimal performance.
How should I clean and maintain Expona Design PUR LVT?
Maintenance is simple due to the integrated PUR coating. Regular cleaning involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose dirt and grit. For more thorough cleaning, damp mop the floor using a pH-neutral cleaning solution. No initial polish or ongoing sealing is required, making it a low-maintenance flooring solution.
