Loose lay & Fast installation

Quick, Easy and economical. Fast Fit is Forbo’s collection of genuinely adhesive free floor coverings including entrance flooring and interior flooring ranges in sheet, tile and plank format for maximum flexibility.

Quick – many of the products can be fitted over existing floors and as they don’t need to be installed with adhesive, they can reduce installation time by over 50%.

Easy – The Fast flooring tiles and planks simply click together using a mallet and, as no adhesive is required on any Fast Flooring product, they are easier to install. There are no adhesive odours, frequently less disruption and dust, and floors can be walked on immediately after installation.

Economical – With hospitals, call centers and retail outlets offering 24 hours service, a reduction in downtime can mean substantial savings for the client, and as there’s no need for adhesives, there’s a potential saving on installation costs. The savings are even greater when an existing Fast Flooring product is replaced with another Fast Flooring product. The existing product comes off the floor quickly and easily with no damage to the subfloor.
