WHAT’S NEW?
FLOORING THAT HELPS HOMES REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Beauflor provides cost-effective and durable sheet vinyl flooring for social and affordable homes that delivers value throughout the life cycle and that can help projects to be more sustainable.
As housing providers place increasing focus on the sustainability of specifications, Beauflor sheet vinyl can offer tangible advantages when it comes to the choice of flooring, even when managing tight budgets and high expectations.
Firstly, the durability of Beauflor’s sheet vinyl can provide a long domestic life and with a water-resistant and easy to clean surface that doesn’t harbour dirt and bacteria, there’s no need to replace them at change of tenancy. This means a longer replacement cycle and reduced consumption of flooring over the lifetime of housing stock.
Selected Beauflor sheet vinyl floors are also available with a textile backing that can eliminate glue and subfloor preparation in all rooms, including living spaces. With less installation material needed and faster fitting over a range of floors, textile- backed options offer cost advantages. The clean uplift offered
by these floors also means they are easier to remove when replacement is needed.
In terms of product composition, Beauflor Twilight is a cushion vinyl floor that uses PVC (the main material in all sheet vinyl floors) derived from 100% bio-circular attributed resources. Switching to this material means a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions over the floor’s production. In use, Twilight performs just like any other of Beauflor’s sheet vinyl floors, making it suitable for all areas of social homes.
Chris Roberts, sales director UK, said: “Of course, social housing providers must deliver a good standard of home within budget, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that choosing a product that’s more sustainable has to be compromised, particularly in the choice of flooring. Our sheet vinyl not only delivers a floor that’s cost- effective, but one that can help housing to reduce its impact.
The development of Twilight is part of Beauflor’s four-step strategy that identifies a pathway for improving the sustainability of its products. Through raw materials, production, usage and end-of- life, the manufacturer is developing sheet vinyl floors that prioritise lower environmental impact at every step of the life cycle.
