It is not often a floor covering collection comes along that provides so many opportunities to play and experiment in such a dramatic fashion. Mix, match, combine or contrast - create your unique expression as the new Marmoleum modular collection from Forbo Flooring Systems offers the possibility to create the floor of your choice.
Modularity surrounds us; it is reflected throughout the natural and man-made world, and in particular, urban architecture. So it was only time before an advanced floor covering collection would bridge the gap to allow for a step change in floor design. Marmoleum Modular turns designing with a sustainable floor covering on its head by providing a distinctive format that allows specifiers to easily combine and connect various shapes, sizes and colours of tiles to develop a completely new and exclusive flooring design.
It is a collection with a twist; with over 144 items, the variety of colours, designs and complimentary tile sizes opens up a whole new world of simple, accessible floor design. Including tiles in four sizes ranging from extra-large (75x50cm) to small (25x25cm) and in between, the medium format square and rectangular tiles (50x50cm and 50x25cm respectively) also complement the offer. Meanwhile two plank options (100x15cm and 100x25cm) provide even more choice, exclusive to the Lines range.
The intriguing modular collection presents itself in four individual themes, enticing the designer to work with shade, colour, marble and lines - and to be inspired.
Marmoleum modular shade is a range of concrete structures in cool and warm greys, complemented by the classic ‘black and white’, all presented in delicate steps of colour intensity and hues to create natural realistic stone and concrete patterns. At the heart of the collection, Marmoleum modular colour features fashionable pastels alongside an eclectic and modern mix of colourful concrete varieties and a full spectrum of bright warm colours.
Within the marble theme, a beautiful compendium of classic and contemporary marbled colours has been assembled to create a special mix and match dimension to any floor plan. Whilst the newest addition is Marmoleum modular lines that brings 15 fresh colours based on the popular Marmoleum Striato design, along with innovative ‘cross-grained’ tiles. The plank formats within this range are completely new to Marmoleum and as such immediately opens up a number of design options, from abstract linear designs to classic herringbone.
Whether it is subtle nuances or stark contrasts, natural looking concrete or marbled floor designs, tonal progression or bold and vivid expressions of colour, experimentation is definitely encouraged. To help specifiers, Forbo has developed a series of design ‘grids’ which can be used as part of its online Room Planner tool. These can be coloured online and demonstrates how design transforms into real floors in real environments.
Julie Dempster, Marketing Manager at Forbo Flooring Systems explains: “The Marmoleum modular collection takes Marmoleum into new market sectors as the range offers a playful experiment with colour and structure. In this way, it is a completely new flooring concept that goes beyond the traditional offer, with no complicated design process or installation.
“Marmoleum modular is also a wholly sustainable alternative to other modular design floors available in the market today, as it is made up of 88% natural raw materials, 76% rapidly renewable and 58% recycled content. With our new Topshield2 finish, the floor is ready for use immediately after installation and the modular tiles are easy to install and easy to clean – ticking every box.”
