At Forbo, our aim is to produce high‑quality floor coverings designed to perform over time. From how they’re made to how they perform, we make outstanding floors that are truly sustainable. That’s because our floors are good for people, good for their applications and good for the environment. So, from the marine vessels that they’re in, to the world outside, we’re helping our customers work, live, travel and relax in better environments.

Coral Marine FR

  • Coral FR entrance flooring stops up to 95% of dirt entering rail vehicles, cutting cleaning costs by up to 65% while reducing energy use, chemicals and overall environmental impact.

  • All the waste yarn from the Coral production is re-used by the yarn supplier. Our constant search for new ways to reduce our environmental impact has led us to work very closely with forward-thinking suppliers. They incorporate ever higher levels of recycled content into their materials.

  • Of all the electricity we buy, 100% comes from renewable sources. This means our Coral production site is part of an effective environmental management system and has achieved ISO 14001 certification.

  • Virtually zero landfill is achieved by the Coral manufacturing plant.

Flotex Vision FR


  • Produced in a modern, energy efficient environment using 100% renewable electricity

  • Flotex Vision FR is created with nylon 6.6 fibres. All dies and inks that are used to create the Flotex designs are water based. No additional chemical processes take place other than high temperature steam treatment to secure the colours.

  • Flotex Vision FR has an impervious backing making it suitable for wet cleaning and it often just needs water and standard cleaning materials (without chemicals).

  • We have an independently produced EPD for Flotex Vision FR that can be provided upon request.

  • Flotex Vision FR is manufactured in production facilities that are certified to ISO 14001- environmental management standard.
