Forbo refreshes Allura Decibel luxury vinyl tile (LVT) acoustic floor range

Forbo Flooring Systems’ newly updated Allura Decibel Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) collection meets the demand for stylish, luxury acoustic floor coverings no matter what the application area. Offering 19 dB impact sound reduction, the collection is available in 49 contemporary colourways, which are split between two ranges: woods, and stones and materials.

Within the woods range, architects and designers will find a variety of wooden aesthetics that replicate their natural counterparts, as well as a selection of brand-new designs, including Serene Oak, Ash, and Twine.

The stones and materials range includes Stromboli, a mottled stone effect, and Emperador, which has a marbled appearance. Exclusive to the Decibel range, an abstract tweed design, Scott, provides a softer, almost textured aesthetic, while a new digitally printed design, Sky, is reminiscent of an early morning sunrise.

In developing the new Allura Decibel collection, Forbo has continued its work in increasing the sustainability of its portfolio. Produced in Europe based on zero waste principles and using 100 per cent green electricity, Allura is a 100 per cent phthalate free, REACH compliant product that contains recycled content.

Forbo Flooring Systems marketing communications manager Karen Wilding said: “Most publicly used spaces, from offices and hospitality venues through to multi-occupancy buildings, can often be noisy places, which can negatively impact the health and wellbeing of those who work, play or live there. For this reason, it’s important that architects and specifiers have access to sound acoustic flooring that can aid in the reduction of transmitted noise, thus helping to create healthier indoor spaces. With this in mind, we wanted to update our Allura Decibel collection to provide a use anywhere, high-quality acoustic LVT floor covering in a range of designs that reflect the modern trends on the market.

“Delivering exceptional acoustic properties, Allura Decibel doesn’t just offer architects and designers a stylish and practical LVT floor covering, but it can also help with sustainability goals too. This collection is installed using tackifier, which means it can be easily removed for re-use or can be recycled at the end of its long and useful life. This aids in the circularity of the flooring industry, as well as reducing waste further down the line.”
