Linoleum flooring

Marmoleum is Forbo's branded linoleum flooring and is climate positive from cradle to gate and therefore the best natural flooring in the world. The photosynthesis of all plants used in Marmoleum, realises a CO2 uptake that is larger than the CO2 emission caused by transport and production processing.

Safety vinyl flooring

Safety vinyl flooring is a high-performance, slip-resistant flooring solution designed for areas where safety is critical. It contains slip-resistant particles throughout the wear layer to provide long-lasting traction — even in wet or greasy conditions.

Ideal for commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, education, and aged care, this flooring type helps reduce the risk of slips and falls while maintaining hygiene and durability.

Certified slip resistance (R10–R12 depending on product)

Homogeneous vinyl flooring

Homogeneous vinyl flooring is made of one single layer that offers vibrancy and depth of colour, it's incredibly durable and stain-resistant, making it a superb flooring choice for those heavy-traffic areas. With their low maintenance, durability and versatility, it’s no surprise that vinyl floors are hugely popular.

Heterogeneous vinyl flooring

Heterogeneous vinyl flooring is a multi-layered flooring solution designed for both style and performance. It typically consists of a durable wear layer, a printed design layer, and a backing layer.

This construction allows for a wide range of colours, patterns, and finishes — including realistic wood and stone looks — while offering excellent durability and easy maintenance.

Moods: designed to inspire

Design is an ever-evolving journey, shaped by trends, emotions, and the spaces we create. With our curated Moods, we bring together colours, textures, and materials to inspire new perspectives and possibilities. Each selection, or EDIT, tells a unique story, offering a thoughtful combination of products that complement and challenge conventional design choices.

The theme for this year: "Beyond the Surface"

Beyond the surface, design reveals a vibrant narrative of depth, detail, and nuance—raw yet refined.

This report explores the uniqueness of materials shaped by their natural origins, celebrating their inherent character rather than imitating nature. Each design provokes thought and sparks connection, transforming spaces into meaningful constellations that protect, inspire, and unfold human stories. Beyond aesthetics, these creations invite awareness, offering surfaces that carry history, culture, and purpose.
