Allura Decibel - acoustic LVT flooring
Forbo's Allura Decibel collection combines excellent acoustic performance with outstanding design. The luxury vinyl tiles and planks reduce impact sound by up to 19 dB while maintaining an exceptionally low indentation — a unique combination for acoustic flooring.
Comfort without compromises
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.
- Excellent acoustic properties: 19 dB 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.
Reduce noise & improve well-being
Excess noise in buildings can quickly become a distraction, reducing productivity and even contributing to stress-related complaints. This is especially challenging in multi-occupancy environments such as housing, offices and care facilities, where a calm acoustic environment is essential. Acoustic flooring is one of the most effective ways to combat impact noise.
- In-room impact sound comes from noise within the same space, such as footsteps or moving furniture. Allura Decibel is Class A rated, the highest possible classification for sound reduction.
- Transmitted impact sound travels through the floor to the level below, a common concern in multi-story buildings. Allura Decibel provides 19 dB impact sound reduction, tested according to EN ISO 717-2.
Endless design opportunities
Allura Decibel stands as a masterclass in material authenticity, delivering highly realistic designs with a level of sophistication that elevates any space. This LVT collection embraces the latest trends, from warm, natural woods and sleek concretes to the timeless appeal of terrazzo.
Geometric inspirations open new possibilities for creative floor installations, while bold combinations and elegant contrasts invite you to push boundaries. Vibrant, colourful pairings add energy and character, ensuring every interior tells its own unique story of style and innovation.
A harmonious palette
Wood
At the core of the Allura Decibel collection lies the timeless beauty of wood. From soft, natural hues to deep, warm shades and a sophisticated dark anthracite, each item reflects contemporary design trends. The wood range features five plank sizes, including a new 50 x 12,5 cm plank for herringbone layouts, enhanced with realistic embossings and bevelled edges for an authentically natural look.
Material
Allura Decibel introduces a bold evolution in stone and textile design. Stone patterns such as slabstone, urban concrete and gravelstone offer hyper realistic depth and refined sophistication. The new twill textile design adds vibrant colour accents that energize the range and create dynamic interactions with both wood and stone items.
Sustainable choice
Allura Decibel is designed for a circular future: it can be installed with a tackifier for easier reuse or recycling, is produced using recycled content and 100% renewable electricity and meets the highest standards for low VOC emissions.
Are you looking for an even more sustainable solution?
Our on-demand Allura Decibel b+ floors contain 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.
Mass-balance approach
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. The more Allura Decibel b+ floors our customers buy, the more recycled and bio-based raw materials we can add, leading to a continuous reduction of fossil resources throughout our supply chain.
