Celebrating 50 years of Coral Entrance Flooring - August 2017

50 years of Coral

This is a story about passion and innovation which started over 200 years ago, as the Kaars Sijpesteijn family, founders of the Dutch Forbo activities, started their business weaving and trading cloth for sails for mills and sails for ships. With the arrival of steam the family needed to look for new opportunities like weaving firehoses and the production of bathmats. From bathmats came the first link into Coral Entrance Flooring.

Tessera Contour: Softening the Square - May 2014

Tessera Contour

With interior designers persistently striving to create the most effective workspace environment, Forbo Flooring Systems offers a flooring solution that not only responds to ergonomic changes, but also evolves within the architectural space. Tessera Contour is a practical new carpet tile collection of 10 contemporary muted colourways inspired by both urban and natural environments.

The repeated shapes in architecture and urban settings have heavily influenced the controlled geometric background of Tessera Contour. Responding to the demand from the marketplace for an evolution of the popular linear effect, a softer and subtler look has been diffused across the collection taking inspiration from sustainable architecture, whilst maintaining a close relationship to the natural landscape. The carpet tile structure is therefore relieved and broken by a more sensitively striated cut pile overlay, to reflect the diverse human and natural elements found in and around these landscapes.

STEP

Forbo Flooring Systems offers a brighter choice when it comes to safety flooring with its newly launched STEP collection. Pioneering technical developments have resulted in a range of products that signify the very best of performance coupled with a fresh design direction – all fully guaranteed.

A step away from the more traditional “safety flooring” colours and designs, demonstrating that there does not need to be any compromise when it comes to combining the two key elements of safety and design.

With an increased use of safety floors in the private sector the demand for warmer and more welcoming finishes is growing. Forbo’s advances in technology see revolutionary STEP safety crystals embedded throughout the wearlayer, providing a fully slip resistant solution. The entire collection meets with the prevalent UK slip standards; wet Pendulum test >36 and >20 surface roughness, as well as EN1385 for sustainable slip resistance.
