Design and Build firm, Oktra, recently specified a mix of Forbo Flooring Systems’ Tessera carpet tiles and Allura Flex Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) for the refurbishment of Zebra Technologies’ new office space. From retro tetris style patterns to classic, yet contemporary chevron designs, the creativity of the floor scheme led the project to being commended in the Fly Forbo 2016/17 competition.
Zebra Technologies’ new office space was designed to be an extension of its existing building and will become a showroom to feature its technologies and provide space for meetings.
Chere Falconer, Senior Designer at Oktra, said: “Having used Forbo’s floor coverings on many projects before, I was familiar with the products quality, availability and the capability to mix and match them together – which is why we specified the products within Zebra Technologies’ main building. As such, when it came to refurbishing its extension, we wanted the flooring to match the main building, to not only create a symbiosis between the two spaces, but to keep the maintenance programme simple.
Forbo’s Tessera carpet tiles are renowned for their aesthetic styling and outstanding performance, even in the most demanding heavy traffic environments. What’s more, they have been designed to be installed alongside its Allura Flex ranges, using the same tackifier and without the need for transition strips, enabling the creation of a quick and easy integrated flooring scheme – ideal for renovation projects, like Zebra Technologies.
Paul Griffin, EMEA/APAC Real Estate & Facilities Regional Lead at Zebra Technologies, commented: “We have used Forbo’s floor coverings on a couple of our recent refits in the UK and we have been very impressed by the quality of the products. They are also very easy to maintain and so aid our regular cleaning regime.”
