NHS Northern Care Alliance benefits from a soothing combination of Polyflor shades

September 16th, 2025

The location of this purpose-built facility is Salmon Fields in Royton, Greater Manchester, a short distance from the Polyflor sales and marketing offices.

It comprises three procedure rooms, four consulting rooms, a spacious waiting room, recovery areas, and various ancillary accommodations.

A well-considered building design allows patients to move smoothly between locations at each stage of their visit.

Day Architectural Ltd., Manchester, was responsible for the interior design, led by Lloyd Payne, Senior Technologist.

NCA required a calm, inviting atmosphere that provided patients with a sense of tranquillity and healing.

Payne was subsequently inspired by the serene beauty of the beach, assembling a colour palette which incorporated its natural elements.

He was already familiar with Polyflor products, having previously worked with several flooring collections, and therefore gained a strong understanding of the most suitable options. As with all healthcare environments, safety was paramount.

Overall, Polyflor provided Payne with peace of mind in all regards: durability, sustainability, ease of cleaning, slip resistance, and a complementary design.

Across the building’s six zones, he specified the following Polyflor shades to heighten its surrounding décor:

  • Palettone PUR, Linen Air (8635)

  • Forest fx PUR, Oiled Oak (2990)

  • Polysafe Verona PUR, Dolphin Grey (5203)

Vector Flooring Ltd., based in Oldham, was responsible for all required subfloor preparations and flooring installation.

Upon completion, Oldham CDC and Endoscopy commenced patient treatment in December 2024.
