Aqualon relief (R10)

The Aqualon relief flooring range is designed for very high wear resistance, according to EN 685, in commercial wetroom environments. Welded at the seams, Aqualon relief provides a completely watertight finish and when it comes to slip resistance, creates an extremely safe environment thanks to its relief surface pattern. The range also has no glass fibre layer and is therefore extremely flexible around drains and sharp angles.

Onyx

Onyx is a durable vinyl wallcovering, especially suited for wetrooms, such as bathrooms and showers. Onyx must be heat welded and as such provides a smooth, hygienic surface that ensures no breeding ground for bugs and bacteria.

Matching weld rods are available for both Aqualon relief & Onyx.

Forbo Wetroom SolutionForbo offer vinyl floor and wall coverings specifically designed for wetroom applications in homes, hospitals, schools, offices and leisure facilities. This type of system provides no breeding ground for bugs and bacteria, such as MRSA, overcoming infection control concerns that may be associated with traditional tile & grout.

Forbo’s Aqualon relief floorcovering has been designed to complement the Onyx vinyl wallcovering, which combine to ensure a completely watertight finish. Both ranges can also be colour co-ordinated with Forbo’s other project vinyl ranges, including STEP, Smaragd, Eternal and Sarlon.
