Allura Fusion: Forbo's New Award- Winning Luxury Vinyl Tile Collection- December 2018

Forbo's New Award-Winning vinyl tile collection

Forbo Flooring Systems is proud to announce the launch of its award winning Allura Fusion; a Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) collection that uses innovative colouring techniques to create a fresh unique look, with no pattern repeats.

The trend collection, which was recently decorated with the prestigious international Red Dot Design Award, features four plank and three tile designs, with every piece of the Allura Fusion range completely unique. No two planks or tiles are the same, resulting in an organic and truly individual aesthetic.

This is made possible by the innovative manufacturing technique, which combines traditional printing methods with free-flowing, coloured PVC streams to produce the 0.7mm wear layer. The result is a flowing, expressive appearance, which is further heightened by the realistic wood embossing on the plank options.

Environmental milestone for Forbo Flooring Systems as Marmoleum is confirmed to be carbon neutral, naturally. - November 2018

Marmoleum Confirmed to be Carbon Neutral, Naturally

Forbo Flooring Systems has quantified the environmental impact of its 2.5mm Marmoleum, with an independent Environmental Product Declaration that confirms that it is manufactured as a carbon neutral floor covering.

As each season passes, we are becoming more aware of how global warming is affecting the way we live, such as the flash floods and the extreme heat waves we are experiencing. And although the UK Government has set climate change targets, in order to reduce the UK’s carbon footprint, these seem no longer to be enough to meet the goals outlined in the Paris climate agreement.

Mark Bauer, Environmental Specialist at Forbo Flooring Systems commented: “We now all need to make more conscious decisions when it comes to specifying building and interiors materials; and manufacturers too must now make a commitment to do as much as possible to help their customers make responsible choices.

Modul'up: Adhesive free! Hassle free! Stress free!

Forbo Flooring Systems has launched a brand new adhesive free sheet vinyl product category into its flooring portfolio – Modul’up. Requiring no adhesive, tackifier or double-sided tape, Modul’up saves on the cost and time of installation, meaning contractors can complete more jobs, quicker. With greater flexibility, excellent dimensional stability and quick and easy removal for replacement - not to mention an unrivalled choice of colour and design - Modul’up offers contractors a truly hassle free and attractive sheet vinyl proposition.

Production techniques are continually advancing and some vinyl floor solutions now no longer need adhesive; Modul’up is proof of this. Thanks to its double structural stabilisation system, which incorporates two layers of fibre glass fleece within the construction (compared to only one layer in standard vinyl), this sheet vinyl will not curl, ruck or roll once installed with the Modul’up tape system. This is a unique single sided tape system, to ensure the product joins stay tightly in place once installed, making it a truly ‘lay flat stay flat’ flooring solution in every sense.

Flotex by Tibor Reich is the latest creative collaboration by Forbo and the company founded by this icon of mid century design, to produce visionary printed textile flooring.

The collection consists of eight designs: Ziggurat, Mosaic, Quartz, Tessello, Onyx, Tweedy, Arbor and Atomic – all of which were inspired by photographs of various natural objects and textures, such as straw, rocks and pebbles, cracked mud and the bark of a tree. Indeed, Tibor’s uniquely innovative design style enabled him to capture the beauty in everyday items.
