ALEXANDRIA vinyl floor covering is a homogeneous, pressed compacted vinyl floor covering sheet with a non-directional design, even colors throughout the whole thickness and a matt finish. The surface is densely compacted for improved wear and easy maintenance. It is treated with Cleancare™ surface treatment, the latest improvement in polyurethane surface treatment obtained by UV curing technology.

A hydrophobic surface technique strengthens the chemical resistance and performance of this vinyl flooring, especially when cleaned with iodine and similar solutions frequently used in hospitals. Lab test show iodine solution is easily wiped off after 24 hours.

Technical details

Alexandria vinyl flooring is high-quality, non-directional homogeneous vinyl sheet with PUR (polyurethane) protection. Key features and specifications:

• Product Name: Alexandria
• Surface Quality: The flooring has a non-directional design with a matte finish and even colours throughout its entire thickness. The surface is densely compacted for improved wear and ease of maintenance.
• Surface Treatment: It is treated with Cleancare™ - a vinyl floor surface treatment achieved through UV curing technology. Such treatment grants a hydrophobic surface which enhances chemical resistance, particularly against iodine solutions which can be wiped off easily even after 24 hours, making it suitable for environments like hospitals.
