Where it works

Charcoal suits kitchens, bathrooms and WCs where spills and moisture are part of daily life. Its waterproof build makes it ideal for wet areas. The Forbo Surestep Original range also handles commercial settings, from care facilities to food preparation areas, thanks to its Class 34, 43 rating. You’ll find it does well in hallways, utility rooms and anywhere slip resistance is a priority.

Installation

This is a glue-down product. No underlay is required. It works with underfloor heating systems, so you can warm your space without worrying about compatibility. Fitting is straightforward, though professional installation is recommended for the best finish.

Looking after it

Charcoal is low-maintenance. A regular sweep or vacuum picks up dust, and a damp mop handles most spills. The waterproof surface resists staining and keeps moisture out. Your flooring carries a 10-year commercial warranty, giving you confidence in its longevity. Sheet Vinyl Flooring like this ages well with simple care.
