Part of a £1.3million investment by the Department of Education, St. Gerard’s is a maintained school which provides facilities for pupils at Key Stage 1-4 with moderate and complex learning difficulties. Over 4000m2 of Polyflor products were laid by Flooring Solutions (NI) Ltd including Polysafe Vogue Ultra PUR to the kitchen, dining hall and washroom facilities, and Classic Mystique PUR to the stairs and circulation areas. Director of Flooring Solutions (NI), Greer Winnington comments; “We have worked with Polyflor in the past and found their technical and onsite support great. We specified Polyflor products on this project due to the availability of stock on a quick turnaround time, which is always a problem on large jobs. The material was easily worked with and it ticked the boxes for both design and performance.” The five-month refurbishment project saw Flooring Solutions taking advantage of the Recofloor scheme from conception to completion. Part-founded by Polyflor, the Recofloor scheme diverts vinyl flooring waste from landfill and allows the uplifted flooring and off-cuts to be recycled into new products, including flooring. An impressive total of 14.25 tonnes of smooth uplifted flooring and off-cuts were collected by Flooring Solutions, packed onto pallets and collected on-site by Recofloor at specified times. polyflor ltd. p.o. box 3 radcliffe new road, whitefield, manchester, m45 7nr tel: 0161 767 1111 [email protected] www.polyflor.com POLYFLOR CASE STUDY 2014 Education Wigan Youth Zone PRODUCTS USED: Polysafe Modena PUR 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 vivid Citrina, Garnet and Angelite 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 comments, “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 vibrancy and energy of the centre. Polysafe Modena ticked all the boxes”. polyflor ltd. p.o. box 3 radcliffe new road, whitefield, manchester, m45 7nr tel: 0161 767 1111 [email protected] www.polyflor.com
