POLYFLOR’S EXPONA FLOORING FLOWS
THROUGH NEW GYM High performance commercial sheet vinyl flooring from Polyflor’s Expona Flow PUR collection was recently installed in a new gym area at Shrewsbury Sports Village in Shropshire.
Peterborough-based Escape Fitness designed the sports centre’s new gym and also installed the 220m² of Expona Flow PUR flooring throughout the space for Shropshire Community Leisure Trust
Ltd. This heterogeneous vinyl flooring was used for the areas surrounding cardio and resistance equipment, the free weight area and walkways.
Two designs from the Expona Flow range were selected to be installed alongside each other - English Oak from the Wood collection and Meadow from the Cosmos collection. English Oak is a traditional timber design featuring a subtle rustic effect while Meadow is an intense yellow-green shade with subtle pearlescent highlights which creates a fun but functional environment.
Paul Lipscombe, International Flooring Project Manager at Escape Fitness commented, “We love how these two Expona Flow designs work together to create clearly defined pathways around the gym area and a vibrant atmosphere which we hope will help motivate visitors.”
Available in a 2-metre wide format with a 2mm gauge, the UK manufactured Expona Flow PUR flooring collection includes 50 high performance wood, stone and abstract designs. Ideal for a range of leisure facilities and other heavy commercial environments, Expona Flow PUR is enhanced with Polyflor’s robust polyurethane reinforcement which is cross linked and UV cured for a simple polish-free maintenance regime and superior cleaning benefits.
Expona Flow product samples can be ordered free of charge on the Polyflor website or by calling the Polyflor Samples Direct Hotline on 0161 767 2551.
Expona Flow’s environmental credentials are impressive, achieving a BRE A+ rating for major use areas in the healthcare sector 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 recycled material.

NEW GEL ADHESIVES FROM KERAKOLL REVOLUTIONISE
THE INDUSTRY Kerakoll has just launched a new type of adhesive made from gel technology. Gone are all of the different formulations for different substrates and tile types that exist with standard C2 cement-based adhesives: with Biogel adhesives there are only two choices that have to be made – powder-form Biogel No Limits or two part Biogel Extreme.
Both of these are suitable for internal and external use on any substrate even deformable ones, and for use

with ceramic, stone and porcelain as well as practically any other material.
Apart from the simplicity of choice, the advantages of the range are many: the adhesives stay the same consistency as when you first mixed them even after a long period in the bucket. The mix doesn’t shrink, so you can make it the right thickness for the job and it’s softer and easier to work with.
The consistency means that it wets the entire tile as well as the substrate, giving an excellent bond and superior performance.
It is high-grab and no
slip even on walls and the inclusion of resins gives it a high shear strength, which means it can be used on the most deformable substrates.
The icing on the cake is that this new type of resin has a low environmental impact giving Biogel No Limits a GreenBuilding Rating of 5. BioGel No Limits is available in grey or White Shock: a white so pure it makes other brands’ white adhesives look grey beside it.
