Expona luxury vinyl tile flooring adds a contemporary design edge to Arts centre

10 Feb 2016
Case study

High design Expona luxury vinyl tiles from Polyflor, the UK's commercial and residential vinyl flooring specialist, were recently installed at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre in Scunthorpe to give the café area a modern new look as part of their renovation project.

Situated in a grade II* listed former church, 20-21 Visual Arts Centre is a leading visitor attraction in Scunthorpe town centre run by North Lincolnshire Council which features five gallery spaces showing a range of contemporary art, design and crafts, as well as hosting workshops for adults and children. Polyflor’s Expona Design PUR luxury vinyl tiles in the abstract Light Contour design were installed by Direct Carpets flooring contractors of Scunthorpe in the centre’s popular café.

The metallic and monochrome Light Contour design from the Effects collection within the Expona Design PUR range is an eye-catching alternative to more traditional wood and stone designs, featuring a striking linear surface texture.  The Expona Design range includes 28 stunning flooring designs specially developed to withstand the demands of heavy commercial environments such as leisure centres and tourist attractions where a high level of footfall is expected.

Durable Expona Design luxury vinyl tiles are further enhanced with PUR, Polyflor’s exclusive and robust polyurethane reinforcement which is cross linked and UV cured to provide a fuss-free cleaning and maintenance regime, making this product ideal for a café environment.

Lynne Emeny, Visual Arts Officer at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre comments, “We wanted a modern and contemporary floor design for our refurbished café area that would fit in with the aesthetic style of our arts centre, but would also be a hard wearing and easy to clean floorcovering that would look good for years to come. We’re delighted with the finished look of our new space.”

Polyflor’s experienced in-house Design Service can help customers create a bespoke floorcovering featuring their own creative artwork. Using waterjet cutting technology, Polyflor’s talented team can produce intricate logos, motifs and designs from hundreds of high performance vinyl flooring products, including Expona luxury vinyl tiles.
