LifeLine Forte sheet flooring complements the PVC and plasticiser-free LifeLine product family with a contrasting pattern in seven attractive colours. A strong pattern and easy-to-maintain ionomer surface guarantee a long service life with low maintenance costs. LifeLine Forte is an ideal solution for public spaces subject to extremely heavy wear, such as school corridors and classrooms, and department stores.
LifeLine Forte was developed to meet the requirements of cost-efficient cleaning in heavy-wear spaces. In classrooms, for example, the maintenance of light and almost single-coloured flooring can be three times more costly than the maintenance of flooring with contrasting colours.
Forte is of the same thickness as other LifeLine floorings and can be used in combination with other LifeLine products. The seven colours of the Forte products are also available in 50x50 cm LifeLine tiles.

LifeLineTM- an innovative heavy duty flooring material - a safe choice for people and the environment
LifeLineTM floor coverings are manufactured in Finland using an innovative new material developed by Upofloor. LifeLine flooring material is completely free of PVC and plasticizers. It provides excellent performance characteristics without compromising human safety or care for the environment. The elastic LifeLine material is made from natural Finnish minerals and pure thermoplastic polymers. It is free of PVC, plasticizers, phthalates, halogens, chlorine, and heavy metals.
A golf-ball-like surface for unbeatable performance
The ionomer-impregnated wear layer of LifeLine floorings is made from the same material as golf balls, which gives the material excellent resistance to shocks, indentations and wear. LifeLine floorings are classified in the best wear-resistance class (Group T).
The ionomer wear layer does not require waxing. The compact surface rejects dirt, which makes it easy and effortless to clean and minimizes maintenance costs. The texture of the surface also provides light friction, making it pleasant and safe underfoot.
Safe and hygienic
LifeLine floorings are ideal especially in hospital conditions, as they are easy to clean, hygienic and resist chemicals. In addition, the flooring does not act as a substrate for bacteria (such as MRSA). The material is also safe in terms of indoor air. An emissions test carried out by the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) found zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). LifeLine floorings are also fire resistant and do not generate such toxic combustion gases as PVC and rubber floor coverings do.
The material is fully recyclable during production and when disposed of, it can be utilised as normal energy-producing waste.
LifeLine product family
The LifeLine product family comprises LifeLine tiles, LifeLine CS and Forte sheet floorings as well LifeLine LT design tiles. All LifeLine products are the same thickness, 2 mm, which makes it possible to create unique and inspiring floors by combining different tiles and sheets in the same space.
The product family also includes LifeLine skirting and welding rods.
