The high quality of Forbo Flooring needlefelt is based on more than 40 years of experience in the production and supply of this hard-wearing floor covering. It is available in 3 qualities, designed to meet different requirements.
Extremely robust
• Wear-resistant performance approved in class 33 according to EN 1307.
• GUT seal of approval for “contaminant-tested textile floor coverings”.
• Withstands heavy use, such as castor chairs in offices or wheeled suitcases in airports.
Sustainable
• Our needlefelt backing consists of 100% recycled polyester.
• The high production quality ensures a long lifespan for the floor, which therefore does not need to be replaced regularly.
• Our high quality polyamide fibres are designed to provide additional protection against dirt and soiling, saving on cleaning costs and contributing to a sustainable building.
Noise reduction
Noise reduction levels between 20 dB and 22 dB, meaning less ambient noise, ideal for use in places where a quite atmosphere is desired, such as offices.
The Forbo needlefelt range is available in 3 qualities designed to meet different requirements: 750 g/m2 fibre weight (Forte), 600 g/m2 (Markant) and 500 g/m2 (Akzent).
Forte
With a total thickness of 6.5 mm, a 100% polyamide fibre structure and a fibre weight of 750 g/m², Forte sheet is our premium needlefelt flooring range. The very dense texture provides an attractive appearance and wear-resistant performance for use in highly-frequented areas. The Forte collection is available in sheet and modular (tile) format.
Markant
With a total thickness of 5.5 mm, a 100% polyamide fibre structure and a fibre weight of 600 g/m², Markant sheet is a high-quality needlefelt floor covering with a coarse texture. Due to its robust, hard-wearing properties, Markant floors are ideal for frequently used places or areas where chairs with castors are likely to be used.
In addition to the uni colours, Forbo also offers 4 graphic options with a timeless 'box' design: Markant Graphic City.
Akzent
Akzent is Forbo’s value-for-money alternative and the only collection in the needlefelt range that is made of a combination of 80% polyamide and 20% polypropylene fibres. Needlefelt Akzent has a total thickness of 5 mm and a fibre weight of 500 g/m² and is a practical solution for hard-wearing commercial flooring.
