🔇 Acoustic comfort is no longer a nice to have. It’s a design requirement.

As workplaces continue to evolve, architects and specifiers are challenged to create environments that support focus, wellbeing and collaboration. Acoustics play a key role in achieving this.

The right flooring solution can help reduce impact sound, improve comfort underfoot and contribute to a more productive working environment, all while supporting the overall design vision of the space.

From open plan offices and meeting areas to circulation spaces and breakout zones, acoustic flooring helps create workplaces where people can perform at their best.

Looking for ways to improve acoustic comfort in your next project? Explore our range of acoustic flooring solutions and discover how flooring can contribute to healthier, more comfortable interiors.

✨ Digital Library Update: Beyond Craft

In a fast-moving digital world, there is a growing appreciation for interiors that feel authentic, tactile and human.

Our latest blog explores Beyond Craft, a textile-inspired design trend that celebrates subtle irregularities, layered textures and the beauty of handcrafted materials.

At the heart of this story are Braid and Loom, two new patterns from the Forbo Digital Library. These can be printed on selected Flotex and vinyl flooring products. The designs translate the richness of weaving and braiding techniques into contemporary flooring solutions.

The Forbo Digital Library offers endless creative possibilities, allowing designers to explore inspiring collections, customise selected designs and create unique flooring solutions that bring their vision to life.

✨ How is Sphera made? Part 1

Every Sphera floor starts with carefully selected raw materials. PVC dry blend and colour pigments are precisely mixed to create vinyl granules, with each shape influencing the final visual effect.

From subtle textures to vibrant highlights, every detail contributes to the finished design. The granules are then fused together under high temperature to form a strong and consistent 2 mm vinyl sheet.

This is where the foundation of Sphera begins.

Regeneration goes beyond reducing impact. It’s about actively restoring and giving back.

Marmoleum is climate positive cradle to gate without offsetting, reducing environmental impact through renewable raw materials and carbon storage within the product itself. From raw material extraction through production, each square meter removes 1.57 kg of CO₂ from the atmosphere (See EPD for more information).

In Australia, we go a step further.

Since 2019, Forbo Flooring Australia has partnered with Regenerate Australia to support ecosystem restoration and biodiversity projects across the country.

Every Marmoleum project in Australia contributes to this initiative, helping support the planting, monitoring and regeneration of degraded land through native trees and climate-resilient habitats. In 2025 alone, this resulted in the planting of 26,713 native trees.

Together, we connect material innovation with meaningful local environmental action and regeneration beyond the floor itself.

Focusing on what we call the architecture of optimism, ArchIdea 73 presents approaches that move beyond grand visions and instead deliver meaningful impact through design that is human-centred, adaptable and grounded in reality.

🌱 The most sustainable choice isn’t always a new one

Not everything that’s damaged needs replacing. Sometimes, a simple repair can make all the difference.

That’s the thinking behind our R-strategy REPAIR. By restoring products to a usable state, we extend their lifespan, reduce waste and keep materials in use for longer.

Take Flotex. Its unique fibers construction allows for local invisible repairs instead of full replacement. Less waste, less disruption, and performance that lasts.

Because sustainability often starts with making better use of what’s already there.
