Life is a play with many acts. And every act needs a floor to perform on. Which is where the new Allura Luxury Vinyl Tiles collection shows off its ability to meet your creative demands and inspire. A flooring system that suits any scene imaginable. Allura is carefully designed to be flexible, easy to apply, durable and – vitally - give you the design freedom to bring any interior to life.

• Produced in Europe; all components REACH compliant
• Up to 30% controlled recycled content and actual content per range published in our EPDs
• With our Back to the Floor scheme, we collect installation off-cuts from our vinyl floors, avoiding landfill.
• Our Allura Flex range can be installed adhesive free using the IOBAC MagTabs system. Find out more
Particularly suitable for flooring in Retail, Leisure & Hospitality, and Offices but also for rental flooring, Education and Healthcare Facilities too. LVT is recognised as an easy to install, easy to maintain high performance floor covering that has the look and feel of its natural counterparts, be it wood, stone or any abstract material.
Available in multiple tile and plank formats, Allura can be combined with other Modular products in Forbo's portfolio. Combine with Coral entrance flooring system tiles (50 x 50cm) to keep all interiors free from dirt and moisture. Consider Flotex tiles for enhanced acoustic performance in Leisure and Hospitality or combine loose lay Allura Flex with Forbo's Tessera carpet tiles (both can be installed with our tackifier) in Offices.

We care for the people that touch our business, from employees to suppliers. That’s why all our UK manufacturing facilities and most of our sites in Europe are certified to SA8000®. The SA8000 Standard is one of the world’s preeminent social standards which aims to protect workers along each step of the supply chain and we are the only UK flooring company to have achieved this certification.

Our Allura LVT collection is made with passion and knowledge and represents the next generation of LVT flooring. It is created for end users and professionals in the flooring business by our professionals in commercial flooring.
At Forbo, we study how people work, live and interact in today’s commercial interiors. We connect this knowledge to future trends and the changing dynamics of a building; we use our findings to innovate and differentiate our portfolio through design and function.
We solve today’s and tomorrow’s challenges by providing answers to key issues such as limiting valuable downtime, the re-use of floors and minimising environmental impacts.
We are passionate about design and the endless possibilities Allura offers, both as a stand-alone collection and in combination with other Forbo products.
Our employees are proud of their Allura LVT range, and they want to tell you about how they work and how the Allura collections have been created.

European Production
Forbo’s Allura collections are produced in Europe using ultramodern production lines that deliver the highest quality product with an extremely good dimensional stability. Green energy is used in production and 100% recycling capabilities deliver the most sustainable alternative in LVT.
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.

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, including fully adhered vinyl tiles, tackifed loose lay tiles, click connected tiles and fully adhesive free tiles.
