Having
been the ‘go-to’ general purpose sheet vinyl collection for over 17 years,
Forbo Flooring Systems’ trusted Eternal collection has recently been updated to
include a selection of colourways and designs that reflect the latest trends,
including a popular terrazzo and marble aesthetic, as well as an improved
digitally printed offer.
Split into
three categories: Wood, Material and Colour, the Eternal collection has been
refreshed to align its colour palette with other ranges found within Forbo’s
large portfolio, allowing specifiers, contractors and end users to create
contemporary, integrated flooring schemes for a wide variety of application
areas.
Within the
Wood category, there are now 31 realistic designs to choose from, 15 of which
are completely new. This includes a new customisable option, whereby colourful
planks can be added to the wooden effect Gymfloor, as well as a new Hungarian
Point design, which is akin to the popular herringbone design found within
Forbo’s Allura LVT range.
There are
also many new designs to choose from within the Eternal Material portfolio. The
selection of concrete designs has been expanded and features a new unique PUR
Concrete embossing for a true to life, authentic aesthetic, which still remains
easy to clean and maintain.
Reflecting
the move towards more natural interior finishes, the collection sees the
addition of a new sleek and contemporary marble design, as well as a completely
customisable terrazzo option, whereby different colour chips can be chosen.
Janet
Lowe, Head of Marketing UK and Ireland at Forbo Flooring Systems, comments on
the new collection: “In addition to our newly improved Wood and Material
categories, the biggest change can be found within the Eternal Colour range.
"Before
developing this range, we ran a series of workshops with our designers to
ensure that the new palette would have a consistent colour story to those found
within our other ranges, such as Sphera homogeneous vinyl, Step safety flooring
and Flotex flocked flooring, to help our customers easily combine products to
create impressive and functional integrated spaces.
“Subsequently,
we have now introduced over 30 new shades to the Eternal Colour collection,
meaning that there is now a very broad palette of hues to choose from,
including two customisable designs: Rainbow and Paint.
"As
the names suggest, Rainbow is a design that shows different tones morphing
through either a light, medium or dark colour spectrum. Paint, on the other
hand, is a playful design that looks similar to paint strokes, which again, can
be chosen in light, medium or dark tones.”
Furthermore,
each range found within the Eternal collection all have a selection of designs
that can be co-ordinated with Forbo’s STEP safety flooring range, meaning
specifiers, contractors and end users don’t need to compromise on integrated
design, when it comes to ensuring safety underfoot.
Designed and
manufactured in Forbo’s European factory using 100% electricity from renewable
resources, Eternal contains at least 60% recycled material in the backing. It
is also 100% phthalate free, contributing to the creation of better
environments in which to work, live, interact, relax, heal, learn and play in.
