Polyflor Polysafe Vogue Ultra PUR represents a significant advancement in safety flooring, expertly blending assured slip resistance with contemporary commercial interior design trends. This heavy-duty sheet vinyl flooring is meticulously crafted to meet the rigorous demands of high-traffic areas where the risk of slips is a constant concern. Its construction incorporates coloured quartz, silicon carbide, and aluminium oxide particles directly into the vinyl. This composition ensures sustainable wet slip resistance throughout the guaranteed life of the floor, achieving a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 36+ and meeting both HSE and UK Slip Resistance Group guidelines. This makes it an ideal specification for circulation areas, corridors, dining halls, hospital wards, classrooms, shops, bars, cafes, and various institutional settings.
Beyond its primary safety function, the Vogue Ultra range stands out with its attractive decorative finish. It features high-clarity quartz chips embedded within the vinyl, creating a sophisticated, non-sparkle appearance available in 18 diverse commercial colourways. This allows designers and specifiers to create safe environments that are also modern and inviting, moving away from the purely functional look often associated with safety flooring. The aesthetic versatility ensures it can complement a wide range of interior themes, from vibrant educational spaces to calming healthcare environments or chic retail outlets.
A key technological advantage of the Polysafe Vogue Ultra PUR range is the application of Polyflor’s exclusive Polysafe PUR reinforcement. This cross-linked polyurethane layer is factory-applied to provide superior protection against stains and scuffs, enhancing durability significantly. More importantly, it simplifies the cleaning regime; a regular damp mop is often all that’s needed, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals or intensive polishing schedules. Polyflor estimates that this PUR coating can lead to maintenance cost savings of up to 60% over the lifespan of the flooring compared to untreated safety floors. This makes Vogue Ultra not only a safe and stylish choice but also a highly economical one in the long run.
