Sheet vinyl flooring makes the grade at The City of London Academy

13 May 2016
Case study

High performance flooring from Polyflor, the UK's commercial and residential vinyl flooring specialist, has recently been installed in classrooms at The City of London Academy secondary school and sixth form in Southwark, London.

Around 2000m² of Classic Mystique PUR sheet vinyl flooring in the cool blue Mountain Lake shade was installed by Essex based Loughton Contracts PLC into classrooms on the first floor of the school building.

A popular flooring choice for projects in the education sector, the hardwearing, homogeneous Classic Mystique PUR floorcovering is ideally suited to the demands of high traffic school environments, demonstrating outstanding durability and abrasion resistance. The 16 designs available in this range have a tonal non-directional appearance, featuring a duotone chip decoration with marbleised tonal highlight chips. Classic Mystique is also enhanced with PUR, Polyflor’s exclusive and robust polyurethane reinforcement which is cross linked and UV cured to provide superior cleaning benefits.

Mark Whittaker-Smith, Facilities Manager at The City of London Academy comments, “Classic Mystique PUR flooring from Polyflor was chosen to help us create a vibrant and innovative educational environment at the academy. This floorcovering is also easy to clean and maintain which is a big bonus when such a large space is covered. After the success of the first phase of the school refurbishment we plan to use Classic Mystique in the next phases of the project.”

Samples of Classic Mystique PUR and Polyflor’s other flooring ranges can be ordered free of charge on the Polyflor website or by calling the Samples Direct Hotline on 0161 767 2551.

Classic Mystique PUR flooring contains recycled content and is 100% recyclable through the Recofloor vinyl take back scheme. The range’s impressive environmental credentials are also supported with the award of an individually certificated BRE Global A+ rating for education environments.
