About Luxury Vinyl Tiles & Planks
Design
• Large print rollers reduce the amount of design repeats in the planks or tiles on the floor thereby increasing the realism
• In-register embossing to increase the natural look of the wood plank designs
• Increased dimensional stability allowing us to create planks up to 150cm x 28cm and 100cm x 100cm tiles for truly striking effects
• Advanced cutting for precise bevelling
• Matt finish for increased realism
Performance
• Superior dimensional stability for ease of fitting and improved durability
• Proven wear layer for reduced cleaning and maintenance
Sustainability
• Produced using 100% electricity from renewable sources
• Ultrasonic cutting reduces the amount of waste to less than 5% which is significantly less than traditional press cutting methods

Forbo Allura is created around a glass fleece core which together with the intricate build-up of different layers, including a calandered backing, containing recycled content, result in a product base that delivers a perfect substrate for printing and embossing of the life like designs that have been created by our designers. All printing is done with water based inks and the wear layer is the same as that used for our project vinyl collections that have proven performance for well over a decade.
We are constantly striving to improve the environmental profile of our vinyl products through local and international initiatives. For example, we repurpose our vinyl waste (and that of other flooring manufacturers) to make new products - such as the backing for Flotex carpet tiles.
How it's Made
• Allura LVT tiles contain 30% of controlled recycled vinyl waste in their backing
• Ultrasonic cutting reduces the amount of waste to less than 5% which is significantly less than traditional press cutting methods.
• Of all the electricity we buy, 100% comes from renewable sources. This means our vinyl production sites are part of an effective environmental management system and achieve ISO14001 certification.
• We produce all our vinyl in Europe where it meets the highest possible current and future REACH compliance standards for chemical content.
How it Performs
• Through our Back to the Floor scheme, we can collect installation off-cuts from our vinyl floors and recycle them back into Forbo products at our plant in Ripley, Derbyshire.
Creating the Allura collection was an exciting journey where our design team combined the insight in trends in design and architecture and the use of natural materials. There are many ways in which floor designs influence an environment. They can be calm, tranquil and unobtrusive or they can give the space its own character and really come to life. A floor also can be a strong base for other design elements. Today floors very often have a tendency to be playful and to be in harmony with the environment. Mixing and matching plank sizes and colours to create individual floors the Allura collection has been designed to offer maximum flexiblity and the widest possible design choice.
