Many flooring alternatives already present themselves in a modular format: wood, stone, ceramic, or carpet tiles, all offer various ways to creating floors with an identity of their own. In linoleum you have the same choice but then it comes in a natural way.
Forbo Flooring Systems introduces a new Marmoleum collection with a twist.
Flotex is a modern high tech floor covering that looks and feels like a carpet without any of the drawbacks of a textile floor covering. At the same time, it performs like a resilient with a durable, velour like surface that is comfortable to walk on, warm underfoot with excellent slip resistant and acoustic properties.
The term bionic performance refers to features and phenomena that can be observed in nature and are translated into man-made products and processes. This transfer of technology from living fauna and flora helps to create optimised and highly efficient products.
Imagine wood that does not splinter, crack, shrink or discolour under sunlight. Imagine stone that does not break, remains smooth and warm underfoot. Or what about metal that does not rust and is easy to cut, or even glass, that is comfortable to walk on. Welcome to the world of luxury vinyl tiles, or LVT, or Design Vinyl as it is now most often called.
Truly Forbo
The new Forbo Allura LVT collection is a vibrant versatile range of floor covering options that take the world of Luxury Vinyl Tiles to the next level of sophistication and performance. Allura is a cutting-edge collection of wood, stone and abstract designs, developed in-house by the Forbo Flooring international design team. The Allura designs are not lifted from a printer’s data bank but are unique, and represent years of floor covering design experience.
