PolyflorExpona Commercial CollectionBlack Elm 4035

Black Elm 4035 brings the look of aged dark timber to any room without the maintenance headaches. The planks sit 152mm wide with a subtle bevelled edge, and their colour is rich and deep, perfect for creating a grounded, sophisticated scheme. You get a real-wood aesthetic that actually handles water and wear in a way solid timber simply cannot.

This is a glue-down luxury vinyl tile (LVT) with a 0.55mm wear layer, measuring 2.5mm thick overall. It comes in packs of 25 planks covering 3.34 square metres, each pack weighing 14.33kg. The plank lengths are 914mm, giving you generous proportions that read like authentic flooring rather than small tiles.

Black Elm 4035 is waterproof and tough enough for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and utility rooms. It suits bedrooms and living spaces too, and the 10-year commercial warranty means it works equally well in offices and other business settings. The R10 anti-slip rating keeps it safe underfoot even when damp, and sound insulation of 2dB helps dampen footfall noise.

Underfloor heating poses no problem. You can install this plank directly over a warm floor without any underlay needed, which simplifies the fitting process and cuts waste. The glue-down method requires a solid, level subfloor and proper moisture testing before work begins.

Polyflor Expona Commercial planks are graded Class 23, 33 and 42 under commercial use standards, so they stand up to foot traffic in busy homes and light commercial spaces alike. Looking after them is straightforward: sweep or vacuum regularly and wipe spills promptly with a damp cloth. The 10-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and wear, giving you confidence in your choice for years to come.
