Voyager in luxury
New colours and styles of wood and stone eff ects have been introduced for the Voyager Maritime Collection of luxury vinyl tiles from Polyfl or.
F
eaturing 16 plank and tile designs, Voyager Maritime has been specifically developed for front of
house marine environments, including retail, leisure and general public areas where design is a prominent requirement. Widely specified for crew quarters,
corridors and storage areas, the Voyager sheet vinyl ranges now feature the Voyager XL, Voyager PU and Voyager PUR collections plus the Voyager Polysafe Stud Tile collection, totalling over 60 colour and style options. Voyager Maritime and Voyager PU
include a polyurethane surface treatment, providing a foundation for ongoing
maintenance. UK-based Polyfl or says that cleaning cost savings of up to 24% are yielded using Voyager PU, which involves a relatively simple polyurethane surface coating, based on tests on PU coated, treated vinyl fl oors and untreated vinyl fl oors. T is rises to 48% in the case of Voyager PUR, which features a more complex polyurethane surface reinforcement, and is marketed as off ering ‘polish-free maintenance’. Polyfl or says that all Voyager fl oorcoverings
have a guaranteed life of 10 years, “but in practice useful life far exceeds this”. T e Voyager collection of fl oor coverings conforms to all relevant IMO Resolutions on the marine environment. NA
Estillon floors cruise market
Carpet underlay specialist Estillon has launched Fenix Base, its fi rst underlay designed specifi cally for the cruise and mega yacht market. Meeting IMO standards, the
Dutch company said that Fenix Base had been designed to provide for easier application through its double stick method, also requiring less adhesive than other backings. In being aluminium-backed, the product offered better thermal isolation than other solutions. Fenix Base itself is made from Polyurethene, which Estillon said provided a very high compression recovery capability and durability, in comparison to equivalent foam systems. Estillon uses new rest polyurethane material, to eliminate pollution from reused materials. Fenix Base is available in
thicknesses of 4mm, 6mm and 8mm.
