Eternal by Forbo Flooring: Expertise and Heritage of Compact Floors

Among these references, 12 are available in loose installation, under the name Eternal next, an option which is part of Forbo Flooring's commitment to reducing environmental impact, while meeting the requirements of the construction market: respect for site deadlines, increased profitability and reinforced environmental certifications (such as LEED, BREEAM and HQE).

A strong aesthetic research to enhance floors

The new Eternal collection stands out for its variety of textures, patterns, and colors. The goal: to offer coverings of rare authenticity, where each design accurately reproduces the materials from which it draws inspiration.

Its 85 references are divided into 3 ranges, wood, material and color, thus covering a wide range of aesthetic possibilities.

The 37 decors in the Eternal Wood range reveal a wide variety of wood imitations (oak, pine, beech, walnut, etc.) varying in finely crafted tones, light or dark, with planks in multiple widths. Iconic designs such as Elegant Oak and Whitewashed Oak are enriched with new contemporary species, such as Smooth Oak, Linear Infinite Oak, and Geometric Woodprism.

Eternal Material, with its 28 designs, offers a wide selection of lifelike mineral patterns, ranging from cement and concrete to stone and ceramic. The pebble pattern, for example, embellished with small colored stones carefully coordinated with other decors in the collection, brings a touch of rusticity, while travertine gives spaces a refined and timeless look.

Finally, Eternal Color includes 20 designs, from the most understated to the most whimsical with holographic accents. All are distinguished by vibrant colors and excellent lightfastness, ensured by their tinted wear layer. Note that the earthy tones, such as gray terra, ochre, and elegance blush, combine harmoniously with each other.

The entire Eternal range can be combined with other Forbo Flooring collections such as Modul'up | Sarlon trafic, Surestep and Sarlibain, promoting optimal harmonization of layouts.

Technical performance adapted to multi-segment needs (health, education, offices, retail, hospitality & leisure, etc.)

Eternal floor coverings consist of a compact, high-performance calendered backing layer, facilitating installation and ensuring high resistance to various stresses, on an impregnated glass mat for perfect dimensional stability. They guarantee quality, reliability, adaptability and durability for every application..

In the glued version, Eternal flooring displays exceptional resistance, ideal for high traffic areas (U3 P3 and U4 P3), with an average residual indentation ≤ 0.02 mm. This characteristic, combined with their ease of rolling, makes them a preferred choice for the healthcare, retail, hospitality and leisure sectors as well as private development.

Still in terms of resistance, against scuffs, scratches and shoe marks, the Pur Pearl surface treatments (homogeneous and natural appearance), Pur Satin (extra matte finish for a more rustic look) and Pur Wood Pearl (authentic wood effect) also guarantee easy maintenance of the floors and minimal maintenance costs.

In line with its commitment to sustainable development, Forbo Flooring emphasizes that the Eternal collection contains up to 30% recycled materials and that all production waste is recycled.

Innovation 2025: Eternal Next, a free and flexible installation

Eternal joins Forbo Flooring's family of Fast Flooring solutions, under the name Eternal next, and is ideally suited to new projects requiring flexibility and efficiency. Its rapid installation, without glue or adhesive, allows for easy installation and removal, while also offering the possibility of reusing or recycling the flooring at the end of its life. Other benefits include the absence of noise disturbances related to preparation or post-construction cleanup, dust, and glue odors, which are also very appreciable.

This solution promotes circularity and fits perfectly into an eco-responsible approach, combining performance, sustainability and respect for the environment.
