FITNESS PROTECTION
Flooring from Polyflor was put through its paces when it was chosen to kit out a brand new fitness facility.
High performance vinyl flooring from UK manufacturer, Polyflor, was recently installed at Simply Gym in Cwmbran, Wales, providing a safe, practical and attractive flooring solution for this brand new gym.
Installed by local flooring contractors, M2 Flooring Ltd, for main contractor Dan Stacey Construction Ltd, Polyflor’s Forest fx PUR sheet vinyl flooring in the Rustic Oak design was chosen for the main gym floor, circulation areas and stairwells around the new fitness facility.
The warm oak shade perfectly complements the bright colour scheme to create an upbeat and energising environment for gym members to exercise in.
The Forest fx sheet vinyl range is available in 14 authentic wood effect designs and is suitable for heavy commercial environments in the leisure sector where a high level of footfall is expected. This vinyl floorcovering is further enhanced with PUR, Polyflor’s exclusive and robust polyurethane reinforcement which is cross linked and UV cured to provide superior cleaning benefits and improved appearance retention.
Quick and easy to install, Polyflor’s vinyl flooring can also be welded at the seams to provide a hygienic surface, offering no sanctuary to dirt and bacteria.

Two of Polyflor’s safety flooring products, in matching dark hues, were also selected to provide sustainable wet slip resistance in the gym’s changing rooms. Heavy-duty Polysafe Vogue Ultra PUR safety flooring in Galactic was fitted in the changing area whilst Polysafe Hydro Evolve in Black Volta was used for the showers. Polysafe Hydro Evolve features a pimple emboss for use in barefoot and continually wet areas in leisure environments, such as walk-in showers, indoor pool surrounds, wet rooms and hydrotherapy areas.
This range meets Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and UK Slip Group Guidelines to deliver sustained slip- resistance throughout the guaranteed life of the product, achieving 36+ on the RRL Pendulum wet test with a surface roughness of 20 microns and above. It also adheres to EN 13845 – the European standard for safety flooring. Eight attractive, multi-colour chip
decorations define the Hydro Evolve range and feature a subtle blend of slip resistant aggregates that co-ordinate to the base colour for a
much cleaner and clearer decoration.
Rhys Jenkins, General Manager at Simply Gym Cwmbran, commented: “Simply Gym is an affordable gym chain but we wanted to give the interior a high end look. The Cwmbran facility is the third gym in our chain and, since it opened in January 2016, we’ve had really positive comments about it from our visitors and new members.”
Polyflor also offers Sport 67 indoor sports flooring, a 6.7mm gauge flooring available in blue, green and a maple wood effect that is widely specified for college, school and local authority sports halls, gymnasia and leisure centres. The product conforms to EN14904, the European standard for sports flooring, and meets all Sport England requirements.
Polyflor’s flooring contains recycled material and is 100% recyclable via the Recofloor scheme.
