Sphera, the excellence of homogeneous PVC flooring for sustainable spaces

Developed for high-traffic areas in the health, education and public building sectors, the range combines high technical performance, inspiring designs and enhanced sustainability standards.

Among the new features, Sphera elite b+ incorporates a significant proportion of bio-circular and recycled materials, helping to reduce its carbon footprint while maintaining the strength and quality inherent to the Sphera range. The color palette has been completely updated, echoing Forbo Flooring's Colour Card, while a new multicoloured design enriches the Sphera element collection, multiplying the decorative possibilities for interior design projects.

Technical performance and environmental commitment: a responsible and sustainable design

Sphera stands out for its responsible and controlled design. Manufactured using electricity from renewable resources, the flooring contains, depending on the collection, 34% to 43% recycled content. Its production is based on a circular, zero-waste model, limiting its environmental impact. The raw materials are phthalate-free, and the floors boast an A+ indoor air quality rating, thus addressing health and well-being concerns in buildings. Furthermore, Sphera element complies with ISO 5 standards issued by the Fraunhofer Institute, certifying very low particle emissions and a surface designed to maintain a high level of cleanliness in sensitive environments such as cleanrooms.

Sphera's long-lasting performance is one of its defining characteristics. Thanks to the single-layer calendering process, the coating combines exceptional robustness, excellent dimensional stability, and a low average residual indentation of 0,03 mm, while also offering high abrasion resistance. The SMART top surface treatment enhances protection against stains and scratches, simplifying daily maintenance. Its hygienic, non-porous surface also ensures easy cleaning and optimal durability, making it ideal for high-demand areas.

3 coordinated collections for total creative freedom

The Sphera range comprises three collections with coordinated designs, giving specifiers and interior designers considerable creative freedom. Modern patterns, a matte finish, and matching colors combine to create harmonious atmospheres.

The colors were chosen to cater to the diverse sensory profiles associated with neurodiversity, minimizing visual overload, facilitating wayfinding, and fostering inclusive environments. By incorporating these principles, healthcare settings become more suitable for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), supporting their comfort, well-being, and, more broadly, their quality of life.

Non-directional patterns allow for flexible arrangements and a wide range of compositional possibilities in architectural projects.

Sphera element offers one of the most comprehensive color ranges on the market, with 51 options. Its wealth of neutral shades allows it to blend seamlessly into all types of spaces. The seven multicolor options can be combined with classic elements or used on their own, lending personality and elegance to any setting. Sphera element offers maximum flexibility for healthcare, educational, and public buildings.

Sphera energetic stands out with its dynamic colors and patterns, ideal for creating vibrant atmospheres without visual overload. Its "energetic" palette combines subtly softened, vibrant colors for a result that is both intense and harmonious. With 43 references available, Sphera energetic is particularly well-suited for functional zoning and dynamic spaces in the healthcare and education sectors.

Sphera elite b+ embodies eco-responsible innovation within the range. Inspired by natural materials, its 18 products elevate environmental performance to a new level. Sphera elite b+ incorporates up to 43% recycled content and 23% certified bio-circular content, while maintaining the same high standards of reliability, strength, and durability.
