Floors, Walls & Ceilings Forbo launches new linear looks Forbo Flooring has refreshed the entire colour offer of its Coral Brush Activ textile ‘clean-off’ entrance matting range and brought the on trend linear concept into foyers and reception areas with a unique colour co-ordinated ‘lines’ design. Coral Brush Activ can be used in all types of entrance areas and provides an ideal solution wherever the brief calls for attractive textile flooring that can simultaneously absorb moisture and remove dry soiling.The new colour palette of 25 solid and blended shades has been carefully collated to allow specifiers to combine Brush Activ with other Coral ranges and other types of flooring in the Forbo portfolio.The strong directional appearance of the unique new ‘lines’ design, available in seven contemporary, practical colourways, offers even more opportunities for creativity and integration. Coral Brush Activ’s renowned dirt and moisture removing capabilities are the result of incorporating three types of yarns in the construction, each of which performs a different function.Whilst capillary yarns with their large surface area absorb moisture, active scraping yarns help to brush soil particles from shoes and the heavy duty textured yarns help Coral Brush Activ to retain its good looks and withstand heavy pedestrian and wheeled traffic in the most demanding locations. Coral entrance flooring also meets ecological concerns as it is the only textile entrance flooring system to have Building Research Establishment (BRE) accreditation. info.flooring.uk@forbo.com
