A good quality entrance matting system is vital for modern building design. By stopping up to 95% of walked in dirt and moisture, our Coral entrance floors can reduce cleaning costs by up to 65% and greatly reduce the risk for slipping.
Forbo Coral delivers superior performance in even the toughest environments. Whether facing rain, snow, sand or soil, Coral keeps the outside from getting inside. Coral entrance floors are highly functional and through their large design options always form an integral part of the buildings design scheme.
Coral is the international market leader in textile entrance flooring for almost 50 years and now offers you more choice than ever before. Each individual range in the collection has been designed to deal with different soiling behaviour as every entrance is unique and has it's own requirements.
Creating a good entrance flooring involves thinking about footfall – the number of people walking in and out in a given period – and walking routes(the directions they take once inside) and applying that information in the design of the entrance area.
We have defined 3 entrance zones to plan in your entrance flooring solution:
Application 1: Outside use
Any matting placed outside the building entrance is the first line of defense against foot-borne soil by scraping the coarsest dirt from the soles of shoes before they cross the threshold.
Application 2: Inside use
Moving inside, the next line of defense is used to remove moisture and finer dirt particles from all feet entering the building.
Application 3: Other circulation areas
Other areas in the building also suffer from soil and moisture; reception areas, corridors, walkways, elevators, staircase exits, etc. All these areas are prone to residual soiling and will benefit highly from a purposely designed Coral entrance floor to absorb this soiling.

From how they're made to how they perform, Forbo Flooring Systems makes outstanding products that are truly sustainable.
100% green electricity from renewable sources
Of all the electricity we buy, 100% comes from renewable sources. This means our Coral production site is part of an effective environmental management system and has achieved ISO 14001 certification.
Zero landfill
Virtually zero landfill is achieved by the Coral manufacturing plant.
PET bottles
The primary backing of our Coral Welcome entrance flooring is made from recycled PET bottles.
Re-use waste
All the waste yarn from the Coral production is re-used by the yarn supplier. Our search for new ways to reduce our environmental impact has led us to work very closely with forward thinking suppliers who are able to incorporate ever higher levels of recycled content in their materials.
Econyl® yarn
Many of our Coral entrance floors use Econyl® yarn which is made from used and abandoned fishing nets. Using Econyl® is a way to reduce existing waste, avoid additional manufacturing-related pollution, and keep the consumption of natural resources and energy to a minimum.
All vinyl-backed Coral products comply with BCA C1.10 fire requirements. This is vital, because every entrance and exit is a fire exit, too.
