The Sphera collection is treated with a specially developed SMART-top finish. This UV cured PUR-coating ensures Sphera has a high resistance to chemicals and stains. The surface treatment in combination with the embossing conceals any minor sub-floor imperfections that may be present and provides an easy to clean solution.

LRV
In architecture, Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is a measure of the percentage of visible and usable light that is reflected from a surface when illuminated by a light source. The LRV can be linked to a number of decisions on which a colour can be chosen. The approximate LRV of a colour indicates the amount of visible light that a colour will reflect. Black has a light reflectance value of 0% and absorbs all light. White has a light reflectance value of 100% and keeps a building light and cool. It also links to the use of electricity where lighter colours need less lighting, which is a direct saving for the environment. All Forbo products carry a light reflection value, which can be found in the text next to the enlargement of the tabletop.
NCS
NCS colour coding describes the colour of any material. With numeric colour codes, so called NCS Notations, such as NCS S 1080-Y70R, any colour can be described precisely. NCS has defined 1950 standardised colours at every 10th step of the colour space to represent the entire colour space. Each notation's colour sample is visually identical to any other colour sample of the same notation, whether it is a standardised colour or a colour in between the 1950 standard colours. This way you can find matching flooring colours with other coloured items in a room.
The 'Natural Colour System' NCS has been developped in order to indentify the colour value, its intensity and hue for a product. By using the NCS maesurement system, colours and colour groups can be identified and matched regardless of the material that has been used. In this way colour coordinates for different aspects of the interior of a building can be determined. All Forbo Flooring products carry an NCS code, which can be found next to the enlargement of the tabletop and in our downloadcenter.

Different applications require different visuals. The Sphera Energetic collection has solutions for all intensities of use. The transparent accent chips in the floor are meant to disguise dirt and small imperfections.
The collection consists of 4 different designs with lots of combination options.
The 20 Uni colours provide a home-like, yet clean and contemporary look. With its improved SMART top layer, this visual can be safely used in application areas with moderate commercial use, especially when protective measures such as good entrance systems and appropriate leg protection for furniture are provided.
The 12 Vivid items have a little pop of colour. This addition to the floor design makes it easy to combine with other items in the range, as all accents are selected from the 20 uni colours. A Vivid floor hides more dirt and imperfections thanks to the transparent and coloured accent chips. Ideal for open spaces, where a subtle pop of colour can be interesting, but should not be too overwhelming.
The 7 Shimmer items have a natural terrazzo look thanks to the angular accent chips scattered randomly over a vivid base. Shimmer has been designed and developed for a high intensity of use. Its stunning design makes any space look its best. Transfer locations, classrooms, elevators and canteens; the accent chips provide superior appearance retention, including better scratch resistance.
The 3 Confetti designs are a mix of colours from the Energetic range and give the floor a random confetti look. It is the most forgiving design in the Energetic collection. Confetti can be used in high-traffic corridors to lively break out zones and any other area that demands a statement. Even on the darkest colour, micro and deep scratches are hardly visible.
In the magazine, you can see how colours appear in the four different design options and why they combine so well.
