Polyflor Polysafe Verona PUR represents a significant advancement in safety flooring technology, offering a unique combination of reliable slip resistance and high design appeal. Unlike many conventional safety floors that rely on visible, abrasive aggregates, Verona PUR incorporates virtually invisible aluminium oxide particles throughout the wear layer. This innovative approach ensures the flooring meets stringent safety standards, achieving 36+ on the Pendulum Wet Test (using Slider 96 rubber) and conforming to EN 13845, the standard for particle-based safety flooring. This guarantees sustainable slip resistance for the life of the product.

The aesthetic qualities of Polysafe Verona PUR set it apart. It features multi-chip decorations incorporating coloured quartz particles, resulting in a non-intrusive, attractive finish that complements modern interior designs. Available in a broad palette of 18 colours, ranging from subtle neutrals and soft pastels to more vibrant hues, Verona PUR provides architects and designers with ample scope to create safe yet inviting environments. The absence of carborundum particles not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes to a cleaner look over time.

Durability and maintenance are key strengths of this range. The cross-linked and UV-cured Polyflor PUR (polyurethane reinforcement) coating provides superior protection against stains and scuffs, significantly reducing the need for intensive cleaning regimes. This polish-free maintenance system translates to lower lifecycle costs, saving time and resources on cleaning materials and labour. Polysafe Verona PUR is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic typically found in healthcare, education, retail, leisure, and commercial office settings. It’s also an excellent choice for demanding residential applications such as kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.

Polyflor demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability with the Polysafe Verona PUR range. It achieves a BRE Global Environmental A+ rating (Generic) in major use areas like healthcare and education. Furthermore, the flooring is 100% recyclable through the Recofloor vinyl take-back scheme and contains recycled content. It also boasts very low VOC emissions, contributing to better indoor air quality. For seamless and hygienic installations, matching weld rods are available for all 18 colourways, ensuring a perfect finish, especially important in environments where infection control is critical.

Choosing Polyflor Polysafe Verona PUR means selecting a flooring solution that doesn’t compromise on safety, style, or sustainability. It provides peace of mind in busy environments, ensuring underfoot safety while enhancing the overall look and feel of the space. Its robust construction and easy maintenance make it a long-lasting and economical investment for any project demanding high-quality safety vinyl flooring.

Polyflor Polysafe Verona PUR Buying Guide

Choosing the right safety flooring involves balancing safety requirements with aesthetics, durability, and budget. This guide helps you determine if Polyflor Polysafe Verona PUR is the ideal solution for your project:

Room usage / Location: Polysafe Verona PUR is specifically designed for areas requiring enhanced slip resistance, particularly where occasional spillages may occur. It excels in healthcare settings (wards, clinics, corridors), education facilities (classrooms, canteens), care homes, social housing (especially kitchens and bathrooms), commercial kitchens, retail environments, leisure centres, and office circulation areas. It’s also highly suitable for demanding residential spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and hallways where safety and durability are key.
Lifestyle: Ideal for environments with high footfall, including those used by vulnerable individuals (elderly, children). Its excellent slip resistance provides safety assurance, while the PUR coating makes it easy to clean and maintain, perfect for busy facilities or households where hygiene and low maintenance are priorities.
Budget: While safety flooring typically represents a higher initial investment than standard vinyl due to its specialist construction, Polysafe Verona PUR offers excellent long-term value. The PUR coating significantly reduces lifetime maintenance costs (no need for polish or wax), and its durability ensures a long lifespan. Consider it a cost-effective investment in safety and longevity. Contact Grosvenor Flooring for a detailed supply and fit quotation.
Durability & Maintenance: Exceptionally durable thanks to its robust construction and PUR coating. It resists stains, scuffs, and heavy traffic. Maintenance is simple – regular sweeping and damp mopping using neutral cleaners are usually sufficient. The PUR reinforcement means no need for costly sealing or polishing, contributing to lower lifecycle costs.
Material Type Pros & Cons:
- Pros: Sustainable R10 / 36+ Pendulum wet slip resistance, attractive design with decorative quartz particles (carborundum-free), hygienic and easy to clean PUR coating, wide range of colours, durable for heavy traffic, 100% recyclable, BRE Global A+ rated, low VOCs.
- Cons: Higher initial cost compared to non-safety vinyl, requires professional installation including correct subfloor preparation and potentially seam welding for optimal performance and hygiene.
Aesthetics & Style: A key advantage is its non-institutional appearance. The decorative quartz particles create a subtle, attractive finish across 18 diverse colourways, allowing coordination with various interior design schemes without compromising safety. It looks less industrial than traditional carborundum-based safety floors.
Comfort & Sound: As a resilient vinyl sheet, it offers moderate underfoot comfort compared to hard tiles. While not primarily an acoustic flooring, it provides some impact sound reduction typical of vinyl flooring.
Underfloor Heating: Polysafe Verona PUR is generally suitable for installation over underfloor heating systems, but the system must be commissioned correctly, and surface temperatures should not exceed 27°C as per Polyflor guidelines and British Standards.
Installation: Professional installation is crucial for safety flooring to ensure compliance, longevity, and warranty validity. Requires a smooth, sound subfloor. Seams should be hot welded using matching weld rods for a hygienic, impervious finish, especially in wet or clinical areas. Grosvenor Flooring provides expert fitting services.
Sustainability: An environmentally conscious choice, featuring recycled content, achieving a BRE Global A+ rating, being 100% recyclable via the Recofloor scheme, and certified with low VOC emissions (Indoor Air Comfort GOLD).
