LINOLEUM

Fresco FR has a strong palette of subtly blended tone-on-tone items, eachcreating a fresh, delicate and balanced aesthetic. The soft contrast of its refinedmarbled structure gives a gentle feel which sets the stage for calm and soothinginteriors. The softness of Fresco FR enables it to sit well next to all other Marbled
and Striato FR items.

Presenting the pure character of linoleum. The solid identity of Marmoleum
Walton FR with its smooth surface and minimal, unpretentious material expression
makes it the ultimate and pure representative of our linoleum flooring. Its plain
visual makes Walton FR easily adaptable to the context it is used in, and the subtle
texture gives it a soft and natural look.

The solid marble design of Marmoleum Concrete FR2 differentiates itself from theclassic Marmoleum FR2 flooring with its subtle concrete structure. The color paletteis neutral with both warm and cool tones, yet with an extension of 6 bright colours
for creating a powerful accent in your floor design.

Vivace FR2 is our liveliest and most outspoken aesthetic made with six toeight tones in each colourway. The differentiated elements combine to create achameleon-like product that adapts well to a multitude of interiors, co-ordinating
easily with many other surface finishes and colours. The high-contrast constructionof Vivace FR2 makes it a smart choice for areas prone to soiling, where the superior
appearance retention of the product is valued.

is the next generation
linoleum floor covering
for rail vehicles that

Marmoleum Striato FR offers a palette that is neutral with warm tones and greyinfused hues spanning from light to dark, delivering natural looking floors thatare great on their own and in combination with other floor coverings. The subtle
linear pattern will easily pick up colours from its environment and works wellwith other materials.

Real FR is our classic aesthetic, consisting of many carefully selected individual
colour tones that combine to create beautifully graded colours, from warm neutrals
and calm greys to exciting brights and trend led shades. Developed to create

Marmoleum FR2 introduction/

MARMOLEUM FR2 NATURALLYFor the rail sector, Marmoleum FR2 and Marmoleum Striato
FR, offer total versatility in terms of colour and design, butwhat makes these floor coverings really stand out is the factthat they are created using a high percentage of natural raw
materials, with renewable and recycled contents.

• Homogeneous durable construction

Welding
In the majority of installations, Marmoleum does notneed to be welded as it is completely dimensionally stable
and will not shrink after proper installation. However,
if welding is the preferred option, there are matchingwelding cords for every Marmoleum FR2/Striato FR design.

• A sustainable floor covering•	Low life cycle costs – can be renovatedand repaired• A floor covering that is naturally bacteriostatic

Forbo’s Marmoleum FR2 and Striato FR
have been independently confirmed
as CO2 neutral floor coverings in
the cradle to gate phase of the
product’s life cycle, without theneed for offsetting.

MARMOLEUM FR 2
LINOLEUM

Marmoleum has a track record of over 150 years. A natural floor covering thatis associated with sustainability, durability, high quality and innovative design.

In simple terms, the CO2 producedin the extraction, transportation andmanufacturing process of Marmoleum
FR2/Striato FR is balanced by theremoval of CO2 through the growingof its natural ingredients such as flax,
jute and rosin.
As such, Forbo Marmoleum FR2/
Striato FR is the best flooring choicefor every sustainable interior. By using
durable materials in your rail projects,
you can also contribute to a better
environment.

Marmoleum FR2/Striato FR is also an
Allergy UK approved floor covering.

Forbo recognise that sometimes you may wish to create
something totally unique, perhaps something specificto a particular project, such as signage to facilitate
the restrictions and safety guidelines within the train.
Whatever may be required, our in-house design teamhas skills and experience to turn ideas into reality.
From an initial concept, detailed drawing, or computer
file, our design team prepares a flooring design that istransferred electronically to the Aquajet cutting machines.
These computer-controlled machines represent state-ofthe-art cutting technology and produce precision cut items
accurate to a fraction of a millimetre.

A floor covering made from natural
materials. Key materials from which
Marmoleum FR2/Striato FR is created:• linseed oil from the seedsof the flax plants• upcycled wood residues fromcontrolled sustainable forestry• fibres from jute stems• limestone• rosin from pine trees• pigments

The pattern is inlaid and, importantly, retains all theperformance characteristics of the original product.
Whether it is a complete rail layout in floor covering,a company logo, signage or thematic design, thepossibilities are limitless.

Topshield2
All Marmoleum FR2/
Striato FR floors include
Topshield2, a double layer,
UV-cured finish that is scratch and scuff resistant, easy tomaintain and ensures long lasting appearance retention.
With its natural bacteriostatic properties and resistance tochemicals, it is the ideal solution for heavy traffic rail vehicles.

THE PROVEN CLEANABILITY OF FLOTEX FR
With an unbeatable combination of performance attributes, Flotex flocked floor
coverings have seen a huge rise in popularity in recent years and are now challenging
conventional carpets in all sectors, including the global rail market where demanding
conditions require flooring to be subjected to particularly rigorous cleaning regimes
in order to maintain appearances.

FLOTEX FRFLOCKED FLOORING

Here, we discuss why operators in the rail sector are increasingly specifying flocked floor coverings for theirrail vehicle projects, and with reference to recent research, show how the construction of this innovative
type of floor covering offers unrivalled cleanability when compared with other textile floor coverings.

DRYING CHARACTERISTICS OF CARPETS

Flotex FR, electrostatically flocked floor coverings offer
exceptional performance and provide a unique flooring
solution, combining properties found in conventional
resilient and textile flooring. Like resilient floor coverings, they
are safe, hygienic, durable and washable, yet at the same timethey offer the warmth, comfort, acoustic characteristics andslip resistance of textile flooring. These properties, together
with the availability of fire resistant ranges and a phenomenal
choice of aesthetic styling options, make flocked floor
coverings an ideal solution for rail interiors.

Cleanability
The dense surface pile of a flocked floor covering makes
it extremely durable, while its upright nylon filaments andimpermeable PVC backing means it can be cleaned rightdown to the base. The nylon pile captures airborne allergens
and fine dust, which is easily released with regular use of astandard upright vacuum cleaner. This contributes towards
better indoor air quality – indeed Flotex FR is the only textile
floor covering for rail to carry the Allergy UK Seal of Approval™.
A recent Cleaning Research International study compared
the cleanability of a flocked pile floor covering with a loop
pile and cut pile carpet. Identically sized samples wereconditioned, weighed and then soiled in accordance with
BS EN 1269:1997 following Method B, using 10g of standard
soil. They were then reconditioned and reweighed before
being vacuumed with an upright cleaner fitted with a brush,a spray extraction, and a contra-rotating brush cleaner. At
each stage, when dry, the samples were reconditioned and42

Flocked Flooring

weighed to determine how much soil had been removed. The
results below clearly demonstrate the superior cleanability of
the flocked floor covering which had the least amount of soil
remaining after each cycle, with a 77.7% mean of soil removed
after the use of a contra-rotating brush cleaner.

100% Wool / Cut pile / 1300g/m2 / 7mm pile ht.

Drying times
How long it takes for a floor covering to dry will also be ofmajor concern to transport operators keen to minimise
turnaround times. The research study also looked specificallyat this aspect and tested the drying characteristics of flocked
floor coverings alongside six different carpet constructions.
Each floor covering was subjected to two passes using
an industrial spray extraction machine and the remaining
moisture content was measured after various periods of time,to establish how long each type took to dry.
The graph opposite shows that after just two hours, theflocked pile sample was substantially drier than all the otherconstructions of carpet, with only 0.57% moisture remaining,
and after five hours, the pile was almost completely dry whereas
other samples still retained significant amounts of moisture.

A superior solution for transport applications
Flocked floor coverings are clearly different to any othercarpets on the market in terms of cleanability alone. Add intheir more rapid drying times, their durability, allergy benefits,
acoustic and slip resistant properties, fantastic styling options
and the availability of an FR collection (reaction to fire
EN 45545-2 : HL2), and it’s clear to see why this innovative
floor covering is really going places in the rail sector.

PRO-FIT – THE INNOVATIVE INSTALLATION SYSTEM
Pro-Fit is an adhesive free installation system, improving
efficiencies in time, cost and operation throughout the lifeof the vehicle. It comprises an integral velour backing to
the floor covering and a special fire retardant hook tapeadhered to the sub-floor.
The Pro-Fit system is available for use with:• Coral FR entrance systems(Classic FR/Brush FR/Welcome FR)• Coral Move FR/Coral Move Vision FR
broadloom carpet• Tessera FR broadloom carpet(Nexus FR/Helix FR/Alignment FR)
Customers who use this system experience far shorter
first installation times (normal adhesive installations
require 24 hours drying time). For renewals theadvantages are even greater as it is simply ‘pull up
the old and drop down the new floor covering’ thatis required. No glue removal, no difficult sanding, no
drying time.

Pro-Fit velour backing
instead of the standard
FR latex backing

These advantages over traditional fully bonded
adhesive systems mean cost savings for train
operators as a result of:• Quicker and easier installation
and replacement• No need to wait for the adhesive to dry
PRO-FITINSTALLATION SYSTEM• No waiting time before the carpet
can be walked on• Immediate use of the train after installation

Please ensure that ‘FR Pro-Fit’ is clearly
noted on all orders.
For example ‘Coral Classic 4751 FR Pro-Fit’.
The Pro-Fit velour backing cannot be
added to latex backed material after
production.

WE BELIEVE IN
CREATING BETTER ENVIRONMENTS
From how they’re made to how they perform, we make outstanding floorsthat are truly sustainable. That’s because our floors are good for people,
good for their applications and good for the environment. So, from the train
that they’re in, to the world outside, we’re helping our customers work, live,
travel and relax in better environments.
It’s about the things you can’t see

Coral FR

Marmoleum FR2

A Forbo floor is always beautiful and stylish to look at.
A floor that’s comfortable to live, work and play on. But
looks aren’t everything; often, it’s the things you can’t
see that really matter. We believe true sustainability is
about creating links of shared responsibilities and values
between all stakeholders.

Coral FR entrance flooring can stop up to 95% of dirt being
walked into your rail vehicles. Entrance systems can reduce
your cleaning bills by up to 65% thus saving you money,
energy and chemical cleaners. They also reduce yourenvironmental impact.

Marmoleum FR2 is made from
71% natural raw materials,
29% of which are rapidly
renewable and will growback within ten years. It isalso made with 44% recycledmaterial content, to reduce
the need for virgin raw
materials.

From how it’s made, our footprint…
From how we run our factories to how we choose ouringredients, the way we make our floors is a big part of
how we meet our mission to create better environments.
We reduce, reuse, recycle and renew whenever possible.
We also make our flooring in clean, efficient factories,
powered by 100% renewable electricity.

…to how it performs, your footsteps…
We include the whole life of a floor when we think
about its sustainability performance. Which means wemake sure our floors start performing from the moment
they’re installed.

Creating Better Environments
We’ll only keep Creating Better Environments if we keep
improving and innovating our products and services.
So, while we’re proud of our existing certifications, we’ll
always be working to achieve better results – for you
and the environment.

From old carpet fluff
to abandoned fishingnets, many of our Coral
FR collections are madefrom ECONYL® – a highquality yarn made from
100% regenerated
polyamide.

ECONYL® yarn made fromabandoned fishing nets

We make Coral FR in a factory that runs entirely on green
electricity and sends virtually zero waste to landfill.

Flotex FR

At the end of its long life,
Marmoleum FR2 is 100%
biodegradable undercontrolled conditions.

is made from71%

natural raw materials

We finish Marmoleum FR2 and Striato FR with Topshield2,
which, together with its natural bacteriostatic properties
means the floor is hygienic and needs less cleaning withless harmful chemicals.

The unique design of Flotex FR means it releases twice as
many allergens on cleaning than standard carpet. Flotex
is proven to have a positive effect on the lives of allergy
sufferers and is the only textile floor covering to receive theprestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval™.

Tessera FR

Our Flotex FR flooring has animpervious backing making itsuitable for wet cleaning and it
often just needs water andstandard cleaning materials(without chemicals).

All tufted Tessera carpets are manufactured using 100%
renewable energy (electricity & biogas).

We’re reducing the amount of virgin materials we use.
For example, instead of throwing away yarn ends, werewind them and tuft them into our Tessera carpet tiles.

Recent research by Cleaning ResearchInternational has shown that the cleanability and durabilityof flocked floor coverings are unsurpassed amongst textile
floor coverings which, along with the allergy benefits
makes them particularly suited to high-traffic spaces.
