Eliminating the use of adhesive means, that at the end of their service life, adhesive free floor coverings can be easily removed, and many are immediately ready for recycling via our Back to the Floor scheme. The ease of removal also allows the flooring to be reused if needed, reducing waste further. And with no adhesive used, the substrate remains clean meaning the flooring can be replaced without time consuming and expensive subfloor preparation.
All of Forbo’s Fast Flooring solutions are produced in Europe using 100% renewable electricity, and in facilities that are certified to ISO14001. They are also all phthalate-free for healthier indoor environments and many are available in natural stress-reducing designs, with high LRVs (Light Reflectance Values) and are dementia friendly.
