KÄHRS’ ‘EVEN GRAIN’ WOOD
TREND Kährs has launched its new Capital Collection of wood floors. In contrast to the popular rustic look, the six new designs reflect an alternate and growing trend for even-grained finishes. Each floor is crafted in Sweden from sustainable European oak and features a wide-board, one- strip format. A combination of hand- crafted finishing treatments, including brushing and bevelled edges, define the look and reinforce the tactile appearance.
All of the new floors are defined by their clean timber grade and minimal colour variation. Kährs Oak Dublin has a natural, light honey tone and is offered with a satin lacquer, matt lacquer or oil
MODENA AT WIGAN
YOUTH ZONE High-clarity Polysafe Modena PUR was the safety flooring of choice for the eagerly anticipated Wigan Youth Zone, in Lancashire.
Wigan Youth Zone is the UK’s largest youth club and opened after the combined efforts of businessmen Martin and Bill Ainscough, Dave Whelan and Wigan Council. The youth centre offers a diverse range of facilities to local young people, including a gym, sports hall, climbing wall and dance studio.
Over 600m2 of Polysafe Modena’s
colourways were installed by iFloor (UK) Ltd of Liverpool. They were designed to create zonal areas within the main entrance hall, providing a colourful centrepiece and safe welcome to the local community.
The youth zone’s General Manager, John Harker, commented: “Wigan Youth Zone caters for hundreds of young people on a daily basis. It was essential that the flooring chosen was able to cope with the high footfall, offered sustainable slip resistance but also added to the
52
vibrancy and energy of the centre. Polysafe Modena ticked all the boxes”.
Polysafe Modena PUR offers sustainable wet slip resistance for the guaranteed life of the product and conforms fully with HSE and UK Slip Group Guidelines, achieving 36+ on the Pendulum wet test with a surface roughness of 20microns and above. Featuring a range of 14 high- clarity, micro-granite designs, Modena presents an attractive yet safe floor finish. The particles embedded within
the product are virtually invisible to the naked eye and create a rougher, harder friction surface to ‘bite’ into the sole of footwear, ensuring that the necessary long-term, slip-resistance was achieved. The range is 100% recyclable via the Recofloor Vinyl Take Back scheme and contains recycled material.

prefinish. White-toned Oak Paris has a luminous appearance and a matt lacquer or oil prefinish, whilst Oak Berlin has a subtle grey oiled finish.
Each of the six new wood floors measures 187mm wide by up to 2,420mm long. Kährs’ multi-layered construction uses hardwood down to the glueless Woodloc joint only, with a combination of fast-growing spruce, pine and poplar below. As well as providing eco-benefits, Kährs award- winning construction method provides greater stability and enables the floor to be installed over underfloor heating.
