The First Line of Defence in Social Homes from Beauflor

For social housing environments that demand durability, Beauflor® sheet vinyl flooring is the first line of defence against premature wear and early replacement.

Every day flooring comes under attack: soles, spills, accidental drops, dirt, water and more create an unyielding and abrasive onslaught that can push any floor to its limits. Without the right durable solution, the risk of early deterioration, tenant complaints and expensive repairs rises sharply. So, the specification of a floor that’s up to the task is important in ensuring the long-term success of social housing projects.

With varied household needs and unpredictable maintenance, it could be argued that durability is the paramount criteria for selection, but the comfort and well-being of tenants are also important factors to be considered. Failure to deliver on these will mean a compromised floor that fails to live up to standard. Beauflor sheet vinyl floors are made to fulfil all of these requirements: affordable, durable, easy to look after, comfortable and in a wide range of calming natural designs, they are the ideal choice.

For the best in durability, Xtreme and Phoni-Xtreme are two top-tier options for flooring in social homes. Featuring a 0.70mm wear layer, these floors deliver impressive wear performance and can withstand constant use. In fact, with a Class 34 Very Heavy Commercial rating; you’re unlikely to find a more durable option that’s also as affordable.

With a wear layer over twice as thick as domestic sheet vinyl floors and Beauflor’s low maintenance Premium Coating, these floors resist scuffs, scratches and daily abrasion, reducing telltale signs of visible wear – particularly important when maintenance schedules in private areas can’t be guaranteed. The installation of Xtreme and Phoni-Xtreme also has advantages over similar looking modular floors like LVT or laminate. It’s faster and with fewer joints to be compromised, less prone to damage and failure.

As mentioned, durability must be balanced by a floor that enhances comfort and supports the well-being of tenants, and again these floors from Beauflor deliver. Phoni-Xtreme’s 19dB of impact sound reduction is advantageous in multi-occupancy buildings where it can help to reduce noise between floors. Both floors benefit from additional Antibacterial Shield to inhibit mould and mildew growth and are low VOC so will not adversely impact indoor air quality. Offering heightened slip-resistance, they

are also safe underfoot, for a floor surface that ticks all the boxes of supporting tenants in their home.

With exceptional durability, underfoot comfort and features that support the well-being of tenants, Beauflor Phoni-Xtreme and Xtreme are durable and stylish flooring solutions for social housing projects.
