ADHESIVE FREE, HASSLE FREE, STRESS FREE: FAST FIT
WITH FORBO Forbo Flooring Systems has launched a new product collection, Fast Fit, which encompasses a range of its adhesive- free flooring solutions, designed to allow contractors to complete more jobs.
The new Fast Fit collection consists of Forbo’s genuinely loose lay solutions, including its entrance flooring system Coral Click, its luxury vinyl tile collections Allura Puzzle, Allura Click and Allura Colour Plus, as well as its vinyl sheet range Modul’up. Each range has been carefully chosen based on its application, to ensure Fast Fit offers an array of products that are fit for purpose, when it comes to refurbishing an interior.
As all of the products within the Fast Fit collection require no adhesive and contractors may not have to undertake any specific subfloor preparation, which not only saves time on installation and provides a commercial advantage, but it also removes the risk of adhesive-related issues – providing peace of mind to the client.
