Allura Decibel is Forbo’s acoustic LVT flooring solution. The luxury vinyl tiles offer a unique combination of 19dB acoustic performance and excellent technical properties like the highest dimensional stability and best-in-class indentation performance. The possible loose lay on tackifier installation method makes installation quick and easy. Allura Decibel floors can be easily removed for recycling or re-use, minimizing the environmental impact.

The Wood collection consists of classic oak designs with a smooth or more rustic appearance. Some items are available in an extra-large plank size (LAD) or in an elegant 50 x 12.5 cm format (HAD) that is perfect for herringbone installations and allows for all kinds of harmonious combinations. All planks are beveled on 4 sides.

All items are available on a made-to-order basis in the Allura Decibel b+ biomass version. Simply add the letter B to the end of the item number to order the b+ variant. For example: 5513AD8B.

Function meets silence

With an extensive range of natural and contemporary designs, Allura Decibel creates quiet spaces without compromising the aesthetic and stability of the floor. Allura Decibel delivers comfort, style and performance in one smart flooring solution.

COMFORT WITHOUT COMPROMISES
• Excellent acoustic properties: 19dB impact sound reduction for quieter, more comfortable spaces.
• Outstanding residual indentation: only 0.11 mm, no visible marks from heels or furniture.
• High dimensional stability: the D3S double glass fleece construction ensures long-lasting floor performance.
• Reduced time and cost for installation: thanks to the integrated acoustic backing, a separate underlay is no longer necessary.

ENDLESS DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES
• Design variety: extensive range of modern patterns and on-trend colours.
• Authentic natural look: realistic wood and stone visuals enhanced by bevelled edges on all 4 sides.
• A wide range of formats and sizes: offering endless design freedom.

SUSTAINABLE CHOICE
• Healthier indoor spaces: 100% phthalate-free, very low emissions for optimal indoor air quality.
• Designed for circularity: loose lay installation with tackifier, easy to remove, repair, recycle or re-use.
• Responsible production: made in Europe using renewable energy and recycled materials.
• Allura Decibel b+: enhanced sustainable option for a higher reduced environmental footprint.

Allura Decibel is a flooring solution for any application area, available in 2 different wear layer options: a 0.8 mm version for intensive use and a 0.35 mm version for use in residential environments.

Enhanced sustainable option

By choosing Allura Decibel b+, you are actively supporting the transition to renewable materials and helping to reduce the use of fossil resources and the impact of CO₂ emissions. This on-demand flooring option contains 31% recycled content, sourced from post-production and installation waste, plus filler from recycled origins. It also includes a plasticizer from recycled sources (e.g. from PET bottles) and bio-based PVC instead of traditional fossil-based PVC. This makes Allura Decibel b+ one of the most sustainable LVT floors available.

For both the recycled plasticizer and the bio-based PVC, a mass balance approach is used. In our mass-balance manufacturing process, traditional PVC and bio-based PVC enter the same production stream. By purchasing the b+ version, you increase the share of bio-based content allocated to Allura Decibel floors.

The more Allura Decibel b+ floors our customers choose, the more recycled and bio-based natural raw materials we can add to the production process, leading to a continuous reduction of fossil resources throughout our supply chain.

You can order a b+ floor by adding the letter B behind the dessin number of the regular collection. See the Allura Decibel b+ page for more information

Find the right Allura solution

Every project is different and has its own specific demands. This can be in relation to the subfloor, the volume of traffic that passes through, or the size of the project. Within our Allura LVT portfolio we offer solutions for all types of applications. Depending on the requirements for your project, you can choose for a specific vinyl tiles construction: fully adhered, loose lay, tackified loose lay, click connected or puzzle connected loose lay.

In addition, we have our silent hero: Allura Decibel. Allura Decibel offers the looks and performance of our other Allura floors and meets 19 dB acoustic requirements.

The images below show the unique characteristics of each floor type and how the different constructions are built up.
