Specifically developed by commercial flooring specialist Polyflor Ltd to provide the aesthetics, performance and underfoot safety demanded by designers, builders and operators of buses, coaches, emergency, specialist and mobility vehicles, the Voyager safety floor portfolio is available in four distinct product groups – WS, Standard Finish Plus, Standard Finish and Embossed.

John Dennis, who supplies vehicles to various local authorities, selected a variety of colourways from the Voyager Standard Finish Plus group, which offers five balanced multi-chip shades with the incorporation of antimicrobial agents for improved hygiene protection.

Standard Finish Plus, in common with all Voyager safety range groups, provides sustainable slip resistance of 36 on the RRL Pendulum wet test (Four-S/Slider 96 rubber), with a surface roughness of Rz 20µm, in line with HSE guidelines, whilst also providing greater flexibility for ease of installation. All can be welded to form impervious, continuous surfaces and can be coved to form their own skirting, allowing a full wash-through facility.

The floorcoverings conform to 95/28/EC fire test as endorsed by the Vehicle Certification Agency and ISO 3795, as well as meeting DiPTAC’s accessibility specification for small buses, which requires all floors and gangways to be covered with a slip resistant material. All ranges also conform to EN 13845, the European safety flooring standard.
