Forbo
Flooring Systems has launched its new hybrid vinyl collection, Novitex, in
order to provide an affordable felt-backed flooring solution, designed
predominantly for new build or refurbishment homes.
The range
consists of 25 designs, with 17dB impact sound reduction and is dimensionally
stable when loose laid (up to 15m2).
The new
Novitex collection includes a selection of the most popular designs from
Forbo’s cushioned vinyl ranges Novilon Viva, Viva Fusion and Futura, and is
ideal for projects that need to be turned around quickly, as it is more
tolerant of slight subfloor imperfections.
Jason
Pethard, Regional Sales Manager at Forbo Flooring Systems said: “Novitex has
been created to complete our cushioned vinyl range, as our first felt-backed
offering which meets the growing market demand for this type of flooring.
"With
housebuilders under pressure to complete builds in a timely manor, Novitex
offers the perfect time saving solution as the flexible textile backing makes
it quick and easy to install. In addition, it is available in 2m and 4m widths,
allowing for seam free installations in larger areas such as family living
rooms and kitchens.
“The
collection offers a wealth of on-trend designs including highly realistic
woods, classic and modern tiles and all-over colour options, whilst still
delivering Novilon’s renowned cleanability, durability and wearability, as you
would expect with a Forbo vinyl.
"The
textile backing also delivers improved indentation resistance - ideal for
areas where furniture may be moved about on a regular basis.”
Novitex
delivers R10 slip resistance underfoot thanks to Forbo’s unique Aquagrip
surface finish. Alongside this, the Diamond Seal and Noviclean technology
ensures Novitex provides superior resistance against spillages and scuff marks,
while remaining easy-to-clean and maintain.
What’s
more, the flooring is designed for life and promises to keep its appearance
with a 10-year guarantee for commercial applications.
