Polysafe ranges are specifically engineered as safety flooring. They contain aggregates (like silicon carbide or quartz) within the vinyl layers to provide sustainable slip resistance throughout the product's life, meeting stringent safety standards. Other Polyflor ranges prioritise different features, such as aesthetics (e.g., Forest FX, Expona Flow) or extreme durability in homogeneous formats (e.g., Polyflor 2000, Palettone), though they still offer good slip resistance for general purposes.

Cleaning is generally straightforward, especially for ranges with a PUR coating. Regular maintenance involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose dirt, followed by damp mopping with a neutral pH cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. For specific cleaning instructions, always refer to Polyflor's guidelines for the particular range installed.

Polyflor sheet vinyl is designed for longevity, particularly in commercial environments. Lifespan depends on the specific range, the level of foot traffic, and how well it's maintained. However, with proper installation and care, Polyflor floors can last for many years, often 10-20 years or more, making them a durable and cost-effective investment.

Yes, Polyflor sheet vinyl itself is impervious to water. When installed correctly with heat-welded seams (where applicable), it creates a continuous, waterproof surface, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, healthcare settings, and other areas prone to spills or moisture.
