Forbo Sphera, premium homogeneous vinyl

In the summer of 2016 Forbo Flooring Systems inaugurated its greenfield operation location for homogeneous vinyl in Coevorden, The Netherlands. Although Forbo already for yearshas carried homogeneous vinyl as part of its portfolio, the new production set-up delivers a wealth of new opportunities. For creating Sphera, the new homogeneous product offering, Flooring Systems has used the latest insights and state of the art technology to create three individual collections that demonstrate superior characteristics in performance as well as by its sustainable profile. Sphera is produced in a ‘zero-waste’ environment, using green energy and the latest technology. The entire process which starts by blending and mixing the raw materials, the granule production and the sheet manufacturing are in-house processes that are controlled to the finest detail.

The collections are designed and styled by the Forbo design team and each carry their own signature. There are three individual collections: 1. Sphera Element, a contemporary ‘classic’ design for homogeneous vinyl, however this time in a well-balanced colour pallet that surprises by its intense hues combined with high light reflection values. 2. Sphera Energetic offers a design which has not been seen before. The combination of colours and chip mixes in the Energetic collection create multiple opportunities to combine mix and match for modern environments. 3. Finally Sphera Evolution is presenting a design revolution in homogeneous vinyl taking the category to a new level.

Sphera is extremely dimensional stable, comes close to a zero emission performance and is 100% phthalate free. The unique process of lacquering and embossing results is a consistent all over quality and durable performance. The newly developed SMART-Top finish secures easy cleaning and maintenance and delivers a scratch free, stain free floor performance.

Forbo’s vinyl portfolio of heterogeneous general purpose and acoustic vinyl, safety vinyl, ESD floors and Luxury Vinyl Tiles are produced to the highest standards and belong to the top offer in the industry. The home produced homogeneous Sphera collection complements and completes our portfolio and make us even more complete as a solution provider in the resilient product category.
