  • Slip resistance: this type of flooring has great slip resistance, making it suitable for wet areas or slippery conditions, meeting standards for slip resistance, providing a secure flooring.

  • Safety standard: Polysafe 2000 PUR vinyl flooring is designed to meet many safety standards. Many standards evaluate the slip resistance, fire resistance, and other safety aspects of the flooring, ensuring its suitability for commercial environments.

  • Maintenance: this type of flooring is easy to clean and maintain. Regular sweeping along with damp mopping, can keep the floor in good condition.
