Polyflor - Homogeneous sheet Vinyl Flooring wins Green Guide "A" rating

Homogeneous sheet vinyl flooring ranges from leading flooring supplier
Polyflor Australia Pty Ltd have achieved the highest possible "A" rating
under the UK Building Research Establishment's Green Guide to Specification
scheme.

Both marbleised Polyflor Standard XL 2mm sheet and non-directionally patterned Polyflor Mystique PUR 2mm sheet are now certificated through BRE Certification Ltd for their environmental profiles. And when the Ecopoints measured and reported in the certification are compared to BRE's Green Guide to Specification both products achieve the highest possible rating "A" over a 60-year service life.

"This is further independent and irrefutable evidence of our
continuing awareness of how our operations and products affect the
environment," says Polyflor Australia's Executive Director Andrew Lewis.
"Our vision is as an environmentally and economically sustainable business
and - as our recently published Environmentally Sustainable Development
Report 2 illustrates - we continue to work towards the achievement of key
environmental goals."

The company sees Polyflor Mystique PUR as a particularly significant
 example of environmental awareness. The product's PUR polyurethane
reinforcement permits a polish-free maintenance regime for the flooring,
greatly reducing water and chemical usage and producing considerable
maintenance cost savings.
