Wood-effect vinyl flooring refreshes Reigate Grammar School hall

5 Jan 2016
Case study

Beautiful wood effect vinyl flooring from Polyflor’s Expona Flow range was recently selected to refresh the look of a school hall at Reigate Grammar School in Surrey.

400m² of Expona Flow sheet vinyl flooring was installed by Brampton Flooring for the school hall refurbishment. The warm and inviting Blond Oak design, which authentically replicates the natural beauty of timber planks, was chosen to enhance the large, bright space of the hall. Specified by Julian Sawyers of J S Surveying Associates, this classic light oak design was ideal for the multi-purpose space which is used daily for school assemblies, meetings and a variety of school functions.

Carmel Grater, Operations Manager at Reigate Grammar School commented, “For our school hall we wanted a floor that had the beauty of real wood, was easy to maintain and would give us years of performance. Expona Flow flooring hasn’t disappointed and we’re delighted with the final look of our refurbished space.”

Manufactured in the UK, Polyflor’s Expona Flow range of heterogeneous vinyl flooring features 50 stunning designs, including both natural and abstract effects in its Wood, Concrete and Cosmos collections. Samples can be ordered free of charge on the Polyflor website or by calling the Polyflor Samples Direct Hotline on 0161 767 2551.

Suitable for heavy commercial environments in the education sector, this durable vinyl floorcovering is also enhanced with Polyflor PUR, Polyflor’s exclusive and robust polyurethane reinforcement which is cross linked and UV cured to provide superior cleaning benefits.

Expona Flow’s environmental credentials are impressive, achieving a BRE A+ rating in major use areas and Indoor Air Comfort Gold, assuring that VOC emissions are below any globally determined levels.  It is also 100% recyclable via the Recofloor recycling scheme and contains an average of 10% recycled content.
