‘Out of this world’ flooring

An ‘out of this world’ flooring design using Polyflor’s vinyl flooring has brought an extra element of fun to a playroom at the Nightingale children’s ward at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

Polyflor’s Design Service created the bespoke design, featuring a colourful rocket ship, planets, and stars. The design elements were manufactured by Polyflor, and then cut into the sheet flooring on site by County Contract Flooring. 

Polyflor’s Pearlazzo PUR vinyl sheet flooring in Purple Crush 9722 was used as 
the backdrop to the space-themed designs – a mixture of colours from the Pearlazzo PUR, 2000 PUR, Classic Mystique, and XL PU homogeneous vinyl ranges. The Pearlazzo PUR collection features 24 bright pastel and neutral shades with pearlescent multi-flake decoration. The range incorporates a UV cured and cross-linked polyurethane PUR coating ‘for an easyclean, polish-free, maintenance regime’.

Polyflor’s Design Service works with specifiers to create bespoke design floors for children’s wards and other hospital areas. Using water jet cutting, ‘there is virtually no limit’ to the shapes, patterns, or designs, the team can create. 

Ian Summers, estates project engineer, Chesterfield Royal Hospital, said: “The bright colours and bold design really bring the play area to life, and are proving popular with both the children and their parents.”
