UK flooring specialist Forbo Flooring has launched a new carpet tile range for use in the marine industry.
Certified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Westbond FR is offered in a 50cm x 50cm tile format so it can be easily installed onboard oceangoing vessels. Featuring a thick pile, Westbond FR is suitable for use on many areas onboard ships, including cabins, lounge and recreation areas, staff quarters, offices and shops.
Westbond FR is available in 144 colours, but Forbo Flooring can also match yarns to Pantone references to create a unique colour that complements customers’ interior design schemes.
The carpet tiles are also available in Forbo Flooring’s Flex design. This allows customers to mix shades from the Westbond Colour collection, or from their custom colour, to create a Westbond Flex carpet tile that matches their ship’s interiors.
“We’re excited that we can now offer our customers IMO-certified Westbond carpet tiles,” says Jacco Vlaar, head of International Key Accounts – Transportation at Forbo Flooring. “Westbond has already had an outstanding reputation for quality for decades so it’s a great next step in Forbo’s goal to expand its IMO product offering. Designers are always looking for custom designs and Westbond FR offers a very wide colour basis to work with.”
