A NEW ERA OF PREMIUM HOMOGENEOUS VINYL FLOOR COVERING Contents 4 State-of-the-art Sphera 6 SMART solutions 8 Technology meets design Forbo Flooring. We have made floors since 1847 and are now producing our own high quality design focused homogeneous vinyl sheet. It s part of our overall strategy to provide our customers a wide product offer and solutions they need from our wholly owned and operated factories. Forbo is a leading provider of safety, acoustic and general purpose commercial vinyl, carpet tiles, LVT, cushioned vinyl, Flotex, entrance systems and of course linoleum. 10 The colour dynamics of Sphera 14 18 22 26 Forbo combinations Sphera is Forbo s new premium, homogeneous vinyl collection. Styled by our European design team and using the latest available production technology in an advanced purposebuilt manufacturing plant. Sphera comprises three distinct ranges, Element, Energetic and Evolution. Each range offers different aesthetics to ensure that Sphera adds unique style to flooring designs across a broad range of applications. The Forbo Sphera collection is setting new standards in homogeneous vinyl due to its design, technology and performance. All the latest insights and technology have been used to create smart and innovative solutions resulting in a premium collection. 27 More Forbo flooring 28 Aquajet and welding 29 Technical specifications 30 Sphera and the environment Evolution 50401 silver white pearl 50471 shaded silver white 2 3

STATE-OF-THE-ART SPHERA Forbo Flooring has invested in a purpose-built, state of the art production facility and it signals a true change in how homogeneous vinyl is designed and manufactured. Now, for the first time, a further solution is joining the Forbo mix - a phthalate free homogeneous vinyl sheet product called Sphera. Sphera heralds a new era in homogenous vinyl. SMART (Sustainable, Modern, Advanced, Robust Technology) and suitable for where a durable, bright and sustainable floor is required. Establishing our own production plant for homogeneous vinyl forms part of Forbo s overall strategy to provide customers with products and solutions from sources that are fully operated and controlled by Forbo employees. In this way, constant and optimal quality can be ensured. Homogeneous vinyl is currently most popular in healthcare and education segments. Forbo sees application not just here, but across a number of different segments. Part of the collection has been developed with the more luxurious look of retail and hospitality in mind, adding a touch of design to a durable, but conventional product category. Making Sphera Being able to build the facility from scratch has enabled Forbo to invest in the most up to date equipment and technology available, and to produce a product that offers unique opportunities for designers, as well as exceptional quality for end users and installers. Within this production, there are three main processes that are unique to Forbo: Forbo s new internal extrusion process enables the controlled creation of multiple chip sizes and shapes. This results not only in a sophisticated chip design effect for Sphera Element, but other unique design options, with the ability to add special characteristics through the addition of highlight, glitter or transparent chips to the chip mix, like in and Sphera Evolution. The second unique process utilises a combi-press for sheet making: a combination of pressure and temperature to achieve a perfect in gauge (2.0mm) product every time. Lastly, a relaxation zone without water cooling, which instead uses a controlled air temperature and air flow to achieve best in class dimensional stability. The manufacturing process for Sphera includes four main steps: STEP 1: Producing granulate PVC granules are created by combining PVC dry blend and colour pigments. Three coloured PVC compositions are mixed together to create a vinyl mass, which is then pushed through a die plate which can create chips in any shape or form, depending on the design effect desired. This new chip technology is what gives Sphera its unique visual character and its bright and saturated hues. STEP 3: Lacquering & embossing In-line, Sphera has a special UV-cured lacquer applied. After drying the lacquer, application of an embossing achieves a particularly matt finish, which diffuses light and conceals any minor sub-floor imperfections. The Forbo engineered process provides a film of lacquer with consistent thickness on both the peaks and in the valleys. Forbo calls this SMART-top, as it resists stains and matches the proven performance of Eternal sheet vinyl ranges. Resistance to betadine solutions commonly used in the healthcare sector, also sees Sphera outperform other homogeneous vinyls currently in the market place. STEP 2: Sheet making The chips are then released by precision scatter units onto a conveyor belt. A steel-belt press forms a homogeneous sheet with a truly non directional visual of the required thickness. Unlike conventional manufacturing, there is no need to back sand the product. STEP 4: Relaxation Homogeneous vinyls acquire tension during production. The tension in Sphera is removed by heating the material again and then slowly cooling to achieve the most dimensionally stable sheet product in this category. 4 5

CONCENTRATING The development of the Sphera collection was a joy for Forbo s entire European design team to work on. Faced with a day zero starting point, they took a dynamic approach to building colour palettes based on how people move through buildings. THE COLOUR DYNAMICS OF SPHERA Instead of analyzing specific segments to define colour ranges for our new Sphera, we decided to approach colour in a more holistic way, said Dorothe Kessels, Head of Project Vinyl Design. Today one building can contain many identities that refer to different segments. For example a hospital building contains also offices, shopping areas (and even sport facilities). And the reception area of a hospital becomes more and more like a hotel lobby. Another example being the contemporary office where the focus is increasingly on the health and well-being of the employee. The office of today not only provides a huge variety of different workspace applications it also offers spaces to relax, to socialise or to eat out integrated into the building. The team therefore decided to focus on the different dynamics taking place in a building. Depending on the different interactions there would be different user needs and priorities. Ranging from a secluded space for privacy, to a semi open space for dialogue or an open public space for spontaneous interaction and everything in between. Five keywords were defined together referring to the different identities a space can have. 10 Element 50037 china blue 50000 white 11

RECEIVING CONNECTING RECHARGING MOVING RECEIVING Starting with entrances to buildings such as schools, universities and hospitals the colour development work was based around RECEIVING and how to create positive first impressions for building users. There needed to be a very strong connection between the outside and the first few steps into a building where it was felt a positive, open atmosphere should be created with lots of light. Therefore the new Sphera Element neutral & natural colours were designed to leave visitors with the feeling that these buildings are highly accessible and welcoming (with almost half of the entire collection delivering LRV s higher than 40% and the new white reaching 72%). MOVING Making your way through a building is all about having easy to navigate transitional spaces. MOVING is what inspired the bright, primary colours in the range and are helping building different departments, access points and understand directions to move around easily. This sort of zoning/ wayfinding has to not only be noticeable, with lots of stand out, but quick to visually interpret. CONNECTING is about those places where you meet, interact, exchange ideas or just talk. They need to be dynamic, inspiring and often see colours combined which create a degree of friction or intensity. Sphera Evolution and Energetic are designed to energise building users and help generate creative sparks in areas such as break out areas or open plan meeting spaces. CONCENTRATING Every person at some point benefits from having access to an area where there is no distraction from sound or light. CONCENTRATING colours are designed to create a very calm and relaxing atmosphere which helps with focus and output. The pale pastel colours are included in the Sphera Element and Energetic range for that very reason. RECHARGING Your batteries can be recharged in different ways depending on what your mind, body and soul need. Some like to be able to switch off and read a book whilst others like to play sport or run to clear their heads. All these different expressions can be achieved across the entire offer of Sphera collections, from light to dark, from neutral to colourful. 12 13
