POLYFLOR’S AFFINITY255 FLOORING
RIDES HIGH AT TREDZ CYCLE SHOP High design luxury vinyl tiles from Polyflor’s innovative 2mm gauge Affinity255 PUR collection were recently installed at Tredz cycle shop in Swansea to give a brand new look to their shop floor area.
Approximately 400m² of Affinity255 luxury vinyl tiles, in Flamed Chestnut, were installed by local flooring contractors, Artisan Flooring, in the specialist shop selling bikes, cycling equipment and accessories.
The 16 authentically reproduced wood plank designs within the Affinity255 collection replicate the natural variations found in solid wood through the use of tonal hues and surface textures. The bold Flamed Chestnut, design chosen for this Tredz store includes prominent knots and markings to give the effect of natural timber.
Jamie Davies, South Wales Area Manager at Tredz, commented: “We’re delighted with the finished look of the shop and have had plenty of positive comments from our customers. The natural wood effect really brings the great outdoors into our shop interior.”
Able to withstand the demands of high-traffic retail environments, the hardwearing Affinity255 range of heavy commercial luxury vinyl tiles features a cross-linked and UV- cured polyurethane reinforcement (PUR) which protects the floor and allows for a simple maintenance regime. This range has also been designed with a 2mm gauge which enables it
to be easily installed alongside other 2mm sheet vinyl flooring products such as Polyflor’s homogeneous, heterogeneous and safety flooring ranges.
Polyflor’s Affinity255 range has impressive environmental credentials, achieving a BRE A+ rating in major use areas and Indoor Air Comfort Gold, assuring that VOC emissions are below any globally determined levels. Affinity255 is also 100% recyclable via the Recofloor vinyl take back scheme and contains an average of 40% recycled content.

absorbed giving added protection against back and neck pain.
CEO of the company, Cliff Lockyer, said: “Based on the fact that there are currently over 104,000 annually registered knee operations by the NHS, 50% of which are accredited to occupational hazards, in ten years’ time the total figure will exceed over a million people in the UK alone, many of whom may have damaged knees through inadequate protection whilst kneeling.
The pads have a water-resistant covering and a soft, breathable inner fabric that wicks away sweat whilst providing thermal protection from warm or cold surfaces. Scientifically proven to reduce point pressure and distribute weight evenly, the impact forces associated with kneeling are
“In addition to the unnecessary pain and suffering, the self-employed risk losing their income through injury and the prospect of litigation could be a real threat to employers for not providing the best possible safety measures for their employees”
Durable and hardwearing, Redbacks strapped kneepads give the user all-day comfort and long-term protection even in the harshest of environments.
