Beauflor’s Polaris is a cushion vinyl collection that’s designed and made in Belgium to cope with the rigours of communal and residential use in social housing schemes.
With a collection of 16 stylish wood plank designs, as well as the option for modern concrete, Polaris is a cushion vinyl floor that brings durability and quality to general and private accommodation areas in social housing. Designed and made in Belgium by Beauflor, this collection is a high quality response to the need for affordable flooring.
All Polaris designs feature Beauflor’s Natural Look texture and matt finish for a great looking floor. With trending grey woods such as Monterey Oak and Fumed Oak, as well as warming wood tones like Cameo, Natural Oak and Lime Oak, rooms can enjoy a home-like floor that has all the practical advantages of cushion vinyl flooring.
Impervious to water, easy to clean using normal household cleaners and with a durable wear layer (0.35mm) that’s protected with Premium Coating for better resistance to scratches and stains; Polaris is easy for tenants to live with. These factors also help to provide a lasting floor finish (classes 23/32/41) that can overcome concerns about the ongoing cost of providing floor coverings in domestic areas. Polaris is also R10 rated for slip resistance providing assurance underfoot and meets Bfl-s1 standard for resistance to fire.
Thanks to its Waffle Bac backing, Polaris is fast to install and can be loose laid in most domestic areas (up to 20m2). For larger spaces, the floor can be installed with double-sided adhesive tape, making installation easier throughout all areas of social housing. This glue-free installation also helps to make replacement simpler as the floor can simply be uplifted and a new one quickly laid in its place.
Polaris is Ortho-phthalate free and achieves the mandatory E1 standard for the low emissions of formaldehyde. It is also classified Air Label Score A+ (very low emissions) for VOC for no discernible negative impact on indoor air quality.
Chris Roberts, National Sales Manager, Beauflor, “Polaris further strengthens our portfolio of affordable cushion vinyl floors that can help social housing projects to overcome the concerns over providing floors in areas where it is not regulation. Our ranges, including Polaris, can bring comfort to tenants, while also remaining easy to clean and providing a long service life.”
