Expertise in Performance

In business environments, where high foot traffic is common, flooring performance is crucial. The performance of a floor depends on both internal and external factors, and we focus on the quality of our Eternal product while offering guidance on how to manage external elements such as dust or cleaning materials.

There are several reasons why our Eternal floor coverings stand out from other vinyl floors:

The ultimate worry-free flooring solution, Eternal delivers high-quality performance for decades. It offers exceptional protection against scuffs and scratches through Forbo’s advanced PUR Pearl lacquering and embossing techniques. Easy to handle during installation, it remains stable and flat due to Eternal’s proven high-tech product construction.

Eternal floor coverings feature a calendared backing designed to minimize residual indentation, making them ideal for areas with frequent furniture movement. With an average residual indentation value of just 0.02mm, our product is the best in the market. The embossed backing ensures superior adhesion to the subfloor, and thanks to the balanced construction, the floor remains stable and flat without curling, ensuring long-lasting performance.

A strong yet flexible PUR lacquer is applied before embossing to ensure consistent performance across the entire width. This improved double protection lacquer application enhances the surface strength without compromising performance characteristics.

Eternal floor coverings also feature high-quality glass fleece, which offers excellent dimensional stability . The glass fleece is double impregnated to provide superior foundation support and reduce the potential for delamination. The pigmented top layer in Eternal Colour offers higher colour intensity and optimal light fastness, ensuring the floor’s appearance remains vibrant over time.

NCS & LRV values

Download here the Eternal NCS & LRV overview

About LRV
In architecture, Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is a measure of the percentage of visible and usable light that is reflected from a surface when illuminated by a light source. The LRV can be linked to a number of decisions on which a colour can be chosen. The approximate LRV of a colour indicates the amount of visible light that a colour will reflect. Black has a light reflectance value of 0% and absorbs all light. White has a light reflectance value of 100% and keeps a building light and cool. It also links to the use of electricity where lighter colours need less lighting, which is a direct saving for the environment. All Forbo products carry a light reflection value, which can be found in the text next to the enlargement of the tabletop.

About NCS
NCS colour coding describes the colour of any material. With numeric colour codes, so called NCS Notations, such as NCS S 1080-Y70R, any colour can be described precisely. NCS has defined 1950 standardised colours at every 10th step of the colour space to represent the entire colour space. Each notation's colour sample is visually identical to any other colour sample of the same notation, whether it is a standardised colour or a colour in between the 1950 standard colours. This way you can find matching flooring colours with other coloured items in a room.

The 'Natural Colour System' NCS has been developed in order to identify the colour value, its intensity and hue for a product. By using the NCS measurement system, colours and colour groups can be identified and matched regardless of the material that has been used. In this way colour coordinates for different aspects of the interior of a building can be determined. All Forbo Flooring products carry an NCS code, which can be found next to the enlargement of the tabletop and in our download center.
