Realistic designs
The most realistic Wood and Material designs, created to deliver stylish aesthetics in any project.
Wide choice of flooring structures and colors
A wide choice of items with high and low LRV values make it easy to find the required contrast with the wall.
PUR finish
PUR Pearl is not just easy to clean and very resistant but also creates a matte, natural look. Further, PUR Wood and Concrete have been tested to be as easy to clean as PUR Pearl, but add extra authenticity to the design.
Especially in business environments, with many people walking over it, flooring performance is essential. The performance of a floor depends on different components, both internal and external. We are focusing on the quality of our Eternal product and give you advice about dealing with external factors dust or cleaning materials. There are several reasons to distinguish the quality of our Eternal products from other vinyl floorings.
Backing
Eternal products have a calendared backing for lowest residual indentation: an advantage in areas where furniture is moved around. Our average value of 0.02mm is the best in the market. The embossing of the backing gives better adhesion to the subfloor. Thanks to the balanced construction there is no curl and together this guarantees a floor which stays nice and flat.
PUR lacquer
A strong but flexible lacquer is applied before embossing for a consistent performance across the width. Improved double protection lacquer application makes the surface even stronger, without negative impact on performance characteristics.
High quality glass fleece
High quality glass fleece for excellent dimensional stability. Glass fleece is double impregnated to lay the foundation for the superior dimensional stability and decrease the potential for lamination.
Forbo Flooring Systems wants to create better environments by producing flooring solutions in the most sustainable way as possible. Our research and development team is constantly searching for ways to improve the sustainability of our products. Eternal heterogeneous vinyl floorings have multiple characteristics to contribute to a better living and working environment.
Phthalate free
Phthalates are industrial chemicals added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity. Phthalates can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive system according to animal studies. Our Eternal flooring solutions (and other vinyl floorings) are 100% Phthalate free.
Low emission
Low emission level compared to other heterogeneous vinyl products: TVOC value of < 20µg/m³, while ≤ 1000µg/m³ is required.
Re-used material
Up to 60% re-used material in the backing of Eternal floorings. This means that all production waste is put to good use again.
Easy to clean
The combination of the lacquer and Pearl embossing is proven to be easy to clean. PUR Pearl keeps the product looking good for years. The clean Wood and Concrete are specifically designed to enhance appearance without an impact on cleanability. This reduces the need for chemical cleaning and increases the floor’s lifespan.
