Polyflor Expona Commercial Black Abstract 5118

Black Abstract 5118 is a modern wood-look LVT that brings understated style to any room. The deep black tone with subtle abstract grain reads clean and contemporary, suiting everything from minimal kitchens to period hallways. It’s a real-wood look without the maintenance or the worry about water damage.

The plank format and bevelled edge detail add visual interest whilst keeping the aesthetic calm. Light reflects softly off the textured embossed surface, so it won’t show every footprint. The colour sits at LRV 16, meaning it absorbs light readily and suits rooms with plenty of natural daylight or good artificial lighting.

This is Glue-Down LVT from the Polyflor Expona Commercial range, built to handle whatever you throw at it. The material is waterproof, so spills in the kitchen or bathroom won’t swell the boards or lift the edges. It sits flat and stays flat.

Where it works

Black Abstract 5118 suits kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and utility rooms. It’s equally at home in offices, commercial spaces and stairways. The R10 slip rating gives reassurance underfoot, especially near water.

Installation and heating

Fitted using glue-down installation, which creates a secure, permanent bond to the subfloor. The flooring is compatible with underfloor heating systems, so you can warm the room beneath without affecting performance. No underlay is required. Solid subfloors and plywood both work well as long as they’re sound, dry and level.

Looking after it

Maintenance is straightforward. Sweep or vacuum regularly to lift dust and grit. Damp-mop with a mild cleaner when needed. Avoid standing water and wring out cloths before use. The 10-year warranty covers normal domestic and light commercial wear, giving you confidence in the flooring’s durability.
