Forbo Flooring Systems has renewed its Eternal collection of general purpose vinyl, with a focus on expertise in design, performance and sustainability – with increased recycled content, lower embodied carbon and an adhesive free range now available. Offering new contemporary wood and stone patterns and a matte-satin finish for a more natural and realistic appearance, Eternal allows architects and specifiers to create beautiful flooring schemes across a range of spaces.
Forbo’s Eternal vinyl flooring has been a trusted solution on the market for over 20 years, known for its outstanding quality and thoughtful design. Further demonstrating the manufacturer’s expertise, Forbo has added a range of innovative colourways to the main Eternal collection. The refreshed palette and new matte-satin embossing both offer a more realistic, premium aesthetic, with the wood effects expertly crafted to rival the beauty of their natural counterparts.
Suitable for cold-weld installations for a more seamless look, Forbo’s refreshed Eternal offering is ideal for specifiers looking for a cost-effective, ‘no-hassle’ and functional flooring solution, in place of real wood or stone flooring.
The balanced construction of Eternal delivers market-leading residual indentation, while Forbo’s PUR Pearl lacquering and embossing techniques ensures exceptional protection against scuffs and scratches.
Speaking on the updates, Donna Hannaway, Head of Marketing UK and Ireland from Forbo Flooring Systems, said: “Our Eternal vinyl collection has been a go-to, trusted solution for over 20 years. This new collection represents a step forward. Credit to its superior quality, cutting-edge designs and enhanced sustainability, Eternal continues to set new standards in flooring solutions.
“With a refreshed colour palette, including new designs like infinite oak, the geometric Prism and Woodmix (a terrazzo visual), specifiers now have a wealth of options to choose from.
Adding a timeless appeal to any interior, ensuring your space remains stylish and contemporary for years to come, our refreshed Eternal collection can transform any space with unmatched beauty and durability.”
Forbo continues to invest in enhancing the sustainability of its collections, with the main Eternal range now featuring 30.5% recycled content and manufactured in factories using 100% renewable electricity – the embodied carbon of this collection has also been significantly reduced.
The Eternal collection also now benefits from a 50% increase in its product guarantee when installed with Forbo’s Coral and Nuway entrance flooring systems, meaning fewer replacements over the building’s lifecycle.
The updates also include an adhesive-free range, Eternal Next, which will join the Fast Supply Fast Fit family alongside Modul’up 19 dB and Surestep Fast Fit. Locally stocked for fast delivery, perfect for commercial refurbishments on a tight deadline, all three solutions can be installed adhesive-free using the same tape and can be fitted on damp floors up to 92% relative humidity (RH).
