Many flooring alternatives already present themselves in a modular format: wood, stone, ceramic, or carpet tiles, all offer various ways to creating floors with an identity of their own. In linoleum you have the same choice but then it comes in a natural way.
Forbo Flooring Systems introduces a new Marmoleum collection with a twist.
Flotex Bionic Performance
Flotex Bionic Performance
Flotex is a modern high tech floor covering that looks and feels like a carpet without any of the drawbacks of a textile floor covering. At the same time, it performs like a resilient with a durable, velour like surface that is comfortable to walk on, warm underfoot with excellent slip resistant and acoustic properties.
The term bionic performance refers to features and phenomena that can be observed in nature and are translated into man-made products and processes. This transfer of technology from living fauna and flora helps to create optimised and highly efficient products.
Allura Luxury Vinyl Tiles new collection
New collection Allura Luxury Vinyl Tiles
Imagine wood that does not splinter, crack, shrink or discolour under sunlight. Imagine stone that does not break, remains smooth and warm underfoot. Or what about metal that does not rust and is easy to cut, or even glass, that is comfortable to walk on. Welcome to the world of luxury vinyl tiles, or LVT, or Design Vinyl as it is now most often called.
Truly Forbo
The new Forbo Allura LVT collection is a vibrant versatile range of floor covering options that take the world of Luxury Vinyl Tiles to the next level of sophistication and performance. Allura is a cutting-edge collection of wood, stone and abstract designs, developed in-house by the Forbo Flooring international design team. The Allura designs are not lifted from a printer’s data bank but are unique, and represent years of floor covering design experience.
FLOTEX® COLOUR: SMART. INNOVATIVE. COLOURFUL.
FLOTEX® COLOUR: SMART. INNOVATIVE. COLOURFUL.
Forbo Flooring Systems has refreshed its Flotex Colour collection with the addition of a new design and format, as well as an array of new colours that are inspired by the moods and spectral shades of cities around the world. From softer, tone-on-tone shades to rich and vibrant hues, the new Flotex Colour palette offers a spectrum of 96 colours and 5 unique designs to choose from, including Metro, Penang, Calgary, Savannah and the new Canyon line.
Jason Holmes, Head of Design Textile at Forbo Flooring Systems said, “Colour can communicate a message without the need for words. It evokes strong emotions, creates striking associations, and has the power to affect the mood and visual impact of any environment.” For this reason, the Flotex Colour collection offers options to compliment the interior environments of a wide range of applications, including the education, healthcare, office, retail, leisure and hospitality sectors.
There is a science to creating Flotex which makes it so unique. It features a surface of densely packed Nylon 6.6 fibers anchored into an impermeable vinyl base, providing a highly durable, waterproof, and stain-resistant floor that is safe and comfortable to walk on. This construction provides Flotex with the warmth, comfort and acoustical properties of a textile, combined with the practical and hygienic benefits of a resilient, resulting in a truly smart floor covering. Create better interior environments in which to live, learn, work and play with Flotex Colour by Forbo.
