Forbo Flooring Systems has launched a new premium version of its General Purpose Vinyl (GPV) collection Eternal, delivering excellent performance characteristics and designed to inspire. Eternal de Luxe offers the highest design quality, opulent appearance and realism – often associated with Luxury Vinyl Tiles - thanks to its new in-register embossed structure. It also has the ease, convenience and cost effectiveness of a sheet product.

Eternal de Luxe has been designed for applications such as leisure & hospitality environments, retail boutiques, luxury homes and residential care homes, presenting the highest diversity in design and embossing on the market; creating an inviting, comfortable atmosphere in any application area. It is available in 13 wood and nine stone designs, all of which can be specified in a compact format (provides less indentation and is ideal for heavy or wheeled traffic) or decibel (17dB sound impact reduction) option, in two and four metre widths.

However, it is advances in brand new in-register embossing techniques that really set this range apart. Within the wood range, nine of the designs feature state-of-the-art, authentic embossed finishes, replicating the natural beauty of real wood, but with the practical benefits of a sheet vinyl. Designs include both small (75x14.3cm) and wide plank options (150x20cm), which run the length of the sheet with minimal repeat thanks to the 1.5m printing cylinders, reflecting a variety of oak designs alongside more modern effects such as pine.

The in-register embossed structure has also been used for the first time within the stone selection for the light concrete, dark concrete and charcoal designs, which features an up-to-date embossed grouting resulting in a 50x50cm tile effect on sheet. For a modern twist on a classic floor, metallic designs in rectangular ‘tile’ designs also feature.

Janet Lowe, Head of Marketing UK and Ireland at Forbo Flooring Systems, commented: “We’ve launched Eternal de Luxe as a new range of premium sheet vinyl floor coverings with the design quality, realism and opulent appearance you would normally associate with luxury vinyl tiles. In this case, the range still benefits from our proven PUR Pearl and PUR Wood Pearl finishes making the floor covering easy to clean, whilst its lasting performance guarantees that it will stay in prime condition, even under heavy traffic conditions.

“What’s more, a selection of the designs have also been accredited by The University of Stirling’s Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC), meaning they are suitable for use within dementia-friendly environments. This is ideal for specifiers and contractors that want to create a modern, yet safe environment for those affected by dementia.”

With our products, we strive to create better indoor environments that make a positive contribution to the health of those that use them. Forbo’s Eternal floor coverings are 100% phthalate free and produced using electricity from green, renewable resources. Eternal de Luxe compact also has up to 70% recycled content in the backing.
